Simon came down from the Junction to talk to us about creating a promotional video for the Fiver. Despite what i think, he says they have plenty of advertising for their events, but they want more people to know about the Fiver as it is one of their favourite things, and they are one of very few places that do anything like it. We were also asked to produce a documentary explaining how the Junction has worked alongside our course and helped us out through bits of it. This includes letting us use Junction 4 for our music videos and the L2 group are doing a Samba workshop at the Junction.
Simon wanted the Fiver promo video to be between 3 and 4 minutes long. I think this is a good length, because if it was any longer people would lose interest, but if it was much shorter i don't think you could show enough to give a really good idea of what the Fiver is like. The documentary, he wanted to be between 5 and 10 minutes in length. As we have the same amount of time to produce the work, i think that will be arguably harder. Certainly, it will be harder to maintain a good level of interest for 10 minutes, especially if the video is just interviews and people talking. At least with the Fiver it is of a live event, so you can keep it interesting by cutting quickly and using music.
There is no archive footage available, so we will have to collect all the footage for the Fiver ourselves, so one day we will have to go down and film the event. Unfortunately, due to health and safety regulations, we cannot use the cherry picker to get a decent shot from above the stage, in case it moves and clouts someone in the head.
