DOCUMENTARY UNIT: HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL INTERVIEW

We've already been given filming permission for the Holocaust Memorial and are currently writing up the risk assessments for this location. Our aim for this location is to do Vox Pops with the members of the public that we see taking selfies and simply question why they're doing this.
This is probably the biggest part of our documentary as this is where we will actually see if people are or aren't being disrespectful there. We've agreed that we'd need to do this entire sequence hand held to keep the pace moving and to help filming throughout the day since we won't have time to keep setting up a tripod and camera every time we get an interview. But, we've got the option of the Fig-rig for the Sony EX camera's which I've used on both of my previous productions and it works really well for steady shots and operating the Sony Cameras. For the option for DSLR Cameras, I've got my own DSLR Shoulder mount (Photo to the right) which works really well for mobility and steady shots. It also comes with a pull focus which we used on Trine's shoot for Directions unit.


As well as filming at the Holocaust memorial, there is an exhibition to the Holocaust below the memorial where you can walk around and read all the history of the Holocaust. We've talked about having an expert from the memorial to talk in our documentary so that we've got both an expert in the United Kingdom and an expert in Germany so we have 2 opinions and a good amount of information for our documentary. After getting back in touch with the memorial they told us that this would be possible but they will need to speak to their staff and get back to us with confirmation.
