Professional Practice: Historic Dockyard (Day 4)

Yesterday we visited the site of the historic dockyard in Chatham, Kent. Ruby and I decided that it would be best to follow two separate groups so we could have as much footage of the different locations as possible. 



This was by quite a distance the biggest site we had filmed in before! As well as a small naval museum there were also Battleships & a submarine (HMS Ocelot) located on the site.

I was able to get a lot of footage of the schoolchildren interacting with Jane the pirate as well as their rope making factory and interacting with the outside boats and submarines. 

I was pleased with a lot of the footage that I was able to shoot, the lighting was really good and despite the fact there were a few children that couldn't be filmed the dockyard and school staff members were very accommodating and friendly. 

Despite the large setting the atmosphere was really nice in the dockyard and it was really good that we had two cameras to film with this time because the camera equipment was previously fully booked. 

It was definitely one of the biggest museums I had visited to this point.

There was even a pirate on board.

We even spotted the Doctor taking a visit to Chatham(!)
