Today was our first day of filming. We went to Gifted and Blessed to meet Ian and Angeline, who were already there. Me & Kane filmed inside Gifted and Blessed, getting lots of cutaways while Ian and Angeline were busy, while Taylor & Rhys captured footage outside and along the high-street for establishing shots.
Once Ian was free, we got an interview with him. I set up the main camera with Kane, who also asked questions in the interview. Since the main camera was a static shot, Kane covered it while questioning Ian and I covered a different angle on the DSLR camera. We got 20 minutes of footage for this interview alone, which meant we had plenty of footage to use in the edit. The content of the interview was very good too. Ian started speaking to Debbie at one point, at which I started to film Debbie, which would have been a nice shot to cut back and forth from, but Debbie asked not to be in the film, so it can't be used.
Next, Bernie arrived so we got an interview with her. Her interview was shorter as she had less time before she was busy, however her answers to the questions were very interesting and offered a slightly different look at Spiritualism compared to Ian. This interview lasted 10 minutes. We also got an interview with Angeline. We asked her what it was like to spend time with psychics all day for her job and she gave some interesting insights.

Filming was cancelled, hoping to reschedule for another day.
6/1/17
This was the first day filming again after multiple cancellations due to illness.
I was unable to make the shoot on this day due to prior commitments. However, I tried to be as involved as I could be without being there. I suggested ideas to the rest of the team and made sure I was aware of the plan for the day.
Kane, Rhys & Taylor went to Gifted and Blessed and met with Ian, Bernie & Angeline. Ian had offered to give Taylor a reading so we could witness one first hand and film it. A two camera set-up was used to film the reading, which went on for almost an hour. After the reading was filmed and the team headed back home from the shoot, Taylor filmed everyone in the car talking about their thoughts after seeing the reading.

This was the first day of editing the documentary. I started by going through the footage that I hadn't seen due to not being at the shoot. I edited together the reading, which is a significant part of the documentary however it took up a lot of the 10 minute limit. I also started editing the introduction. I still need to make a start on editing the interviews with Ian & Bernie.
