Documentary: Camera (my role)

As the cameraman I am working mostly with Aaron, the director. He has a sort of visual style that he wants from this documentary and that includes finding the best spots in Liverpool to do time-lapse footage showing the busy modern side of Liverpool and then close up and interesting shots of the old derelict places that have been forgotten. We will be using the Canon 550D and an XM2 as well as a Canon 500D for stills and combining all of the footage/stills so that we can get a wide variety as possible. Also with all of the cameras being Canon it means that the lenses are interchangable as I only have one lens for my Canon 550D and being able to use other lenses means that a wider variety of shots are made possible. The visuals in this film will be very important because being able to use the shots to show what the interviewee is talking about will be very important to how well the audience can connect with it.
