The location of my Documentary will take place at Nuneaton Town Football Club. I will be shooting in various locations all over the football club. The main locations I intend to shoot are the stands where spectators view the games, the club shop, and the Legends Bar. I will include brief shots of different parts of the ground to break up interviews and dialogue to keep the viewer intrigued.

When
I have already started filming the documentary. I recently filmed at a reunion night in which 100 fans turned out to celebrate the 10th anniversary of a game important to the club's history. I felt this really emphasised the dedication of the fans and therefore I tried to gather as many shots of their reactions as I could. Boro play Burton Albion on Tuesday 12th January so I will record pre-match interviews and gather shots of fans entering the ground etc.
Kit Required
1 Digital SLR
1 Clip on Zoom Mic- I will use this to improve the audio of my interviews.
1 Tripod
1 GoPro camera to capture a time-lapse of fans entering the stadium, sowing the build up of crowds
1 Drone - I will use this to capture aerial shots of the ground to use as stock footage
How
I plan to capture some very unique shots for my Documentary. In popular documentaries extra footage is often shown in and around interviews to break up the footage and keep the viewers entertained and engaged.
With the GoPro I will capture a time-lapse by capturing shots every 5 seconds by setting the GoPro to time-lapse mode. In fact this is a perfect example of what I aim to achieve - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAcpqlInKNc
With the drone, which is yet to arrive, I want to gather shots to show the size of the ground, I really feel that if I shoot this right, it will create engaging and creative footage. Here a drone is flying over AC Milan's stadium, not quite Nuneaton Town however I want to achieve a clean and visually appealing footage such as this example.
Health and Safety
Despite the area being quiet around the time I plan on filming, flying a drone is always a risk and therefore I have to be cautious of who is around. When shooting with tripods we will have to make ensure they will not fall over and break anything or hurt anybody. As well as this is important for us to ensure we were not in anybodies personal work space or private property.
