Filming has finally arrived and we can crack on with getting the footage we need for our documentary on The Beatles (or The Liverpool Legends!) as were calling it. So, up for breakfast nice and early and met as a group at 945 to set off for our 10am schedule. Whilst filming we will be splitting up at points, but want to stay together as much as possible because it will help and save time when setting up for an interview etc.
So, first things first, we went to the Albert Docks and myself and Clarice took the "Beatles experience tour" in order to collect some still images that we could include in our documentary when someone is talking in an interview to use as an overlay. Whilst we were doing this, Alex Jen and Hannah went to the Liverpool Museum and went to the Beatles Section to interview a guy called Jon Francis who had worked there for just over a year. Once we had both completed this, we met back up and walked around town and grabbed some lunch and had a group discussion about what we had got so far and what the rest of the day had to hold for us.
After a half an hour or so lunch break, we stayed together as a group and walked to Matthew Street where The Cavern Club and Pub are situated. We went inside The Cavern club and found a man called Tony who said he would be happy for us to film him performing and to interview about his time at The Cavern and what his favourite Beatles song is etc. After this, as set up the day before, we met up with Jon Keats (the events organiser at The Cavern) and had a interview with him about what The Cavern are doing for the Beatles 50th Anniversary and also Paul McCartney's 70th Birthday. Once we had enough footage of performance and interviews, we filmed a few random shots of the interior and exterior, people dancing and drinking to get the great atmosphere etc.

Cavern club DONE! now off to the Cavern Pub to grab a couple of vox pox's for our opening. We interviewed a lovely lady called Sharon who worked behind the bar and asked her about her favourite Beatle and Beatles song etc. Unfortunately we were running slightly behind schedule and din;t have time to get any exterior shots, but not to worry, we had already 30 minutes of footage for a five minute documentary!
After this, we needed more vox pox's so we searched the Liverpool high street to get a handful of people who were willing to be filmed and interviewed and dint mind answering a few questions! We didn't get as many as we would have hoped for, however we did get around 5 or 6, and with all our previous footage, we now had 80 minutes worth which is more then enough to edit! speaking of editing, this is what we have got to do next after a very successful day of filming in Liverpool. Bring on final cut pro!
