Day 2: Filming 01/12/12
On Saturday we filmed our interviews at Craig's house. This was difficult as we were filming in a very small room, with green walls! This meant it was difficult to get the correct lighting but we are pleased with what we achieved. The interviews went well and Craig really responded well in his answers which meant we had some good footage to edit with!
Day 1: Filming 30/11/2012
So on Friday we started filming with Craig at the 'Winners Gym' in Chelmsford Essex. This was our chance to shoot all of our actuality footage for our documentary in the gym, whilst Craig is training. It was our opportunity to get an interview with our expert trainer as well as take shots for cutaways and interviews with craig whilst he is doing what he does best.
We are really pleased with the footage that we have, and had a great time meeting some people in the business.
