These photos represent the locations that have been chosen for our documentary. The subject of our documentary are the groundskeepers at Notre Dame University, the goal is to showcase the amount of work that goes into keeping the campus grounds looking pristine.

The plan is to shoot the subject either on a park bench on campus or in office; depending on weather. The B-roll will consist of large pans around campus and some hand held stuff showing the work being done on campus. I feel like the campus will offer a lot of pleasing shots.

Day and time of shoot: 

Location description (interior/ exterior):

The interview will be either on the park bench outside or inside depending on the weather outdoors. The office supplies good back light, we will have to make sure that the subject is lit well from the front because of the strong light comin in through the back, or place subject closer to the window and shoot close in. The B-roll will all be shot around campus; taking advantage of the playing fields and quads.

 Describe the scene and action. How many people are on camera?

One man will be interviewed on camera, the B-roll could show one or two people depending on the work that is being done that day.

How much space is needed?

Office/Campus

Will the action be shot from one or multiple locations?

Action will be shot from multiple locations on the ND campus

Is there off-screen space available?

What are the light levels and sources of light? How does this impact your scene?

Outdoor lighting is dependent on the day, the office supplies decent light from the back windows, I feel like we will still need a couple lights to fill the space.

Are you recording sound? Are there any issues to be aware of?

We will be recording the audio from the interview for voiceover, they have also discussed the introduction of a narrator. I am waiting for the producer to pan that out.

Is there any special equipment needed?

Camera, lights, microphone, tripod, memory chip

Are there any concerns that need to be addressed about shooting at this location?

My only concern would be the time of year and the subject. No one likes looking at wet leaves being blown around. It should be early enough in the season that this wont be an issue.
