The overall look of this film will be very homely. I have chosen to shoot the 'Talking Heads' interviews in the casts houses to show where they practise. It also tells the audience a bit about the characters, by use of posters, instruments and musical equipment.

Evidence of Post Production

This picture shows evidence that I have used colour correction in my documentary, during the post production process.

This picture shows I have recorded audio with an external mic, and added the track to a 'floating head' interview.

This shows I had edited the audio in some way.

This shows i have organised my META data using folders.
