The Dockyard Workshop
- The objective of the day was to practice and experience what it would be like to shoot actuality on set, and get GVs/Actuality shots from the specific location, we as a group were allocated.
- Given a task of setting up a sequence, capturing useful GVs and actuality shots to come back with us to the studio so we could use to create a short 'documentary' feel sequence.
- This gave us great insight as to how it would feel on location filming, how much time we would potentially have to capture certain shots, and the general experience an thought of how to deal with complications by using your initiative.

- What worked well and was taken forward into our project was taking roles and cooperating as a unit, not as individuals.
- Getting a variety of shots.
- Thinking and exploring the location, so that we had every kind of shot and cutaway/GV to help us back at the edit.

- Working on shoot comes with unexpected circumstances and things tend to never go as smoothly as you'd hope, i.e people in your line of shot, camera wobbles and unfortunately not being able to actually capture the shot you wanted as the time has past.
- Not getting the right shot, taking the footage back to the studio to find one or two key shots were actually never captured, and they were usually the most basic/simplistic ones.
- Too many cooks spoil the broth! I felt personally with having 1 camera between 4 people, now and again we'd all have a shot of our own inside our brains and it would sometimes be a pain to communicate if you didn't have the camera.
Overall, the experience gathered on the location workshop was pivotal and has contributed massively to the thoughts and approach on our own project.
