Filming

These images were took at different points whilst filming. The first image was an eye level, low shot of someone playing guitar to be used as B-roll. The second image was taken when Devon recorded a student singing in a talent show and the final image was Natalie filming the drums at a band practice in college. We shot these as we wanted to ensure we knew how to use the cameras correctly, however did not put it into our documentary as it was not necessarily gig related.

Interview Questions

Interview Questions

When writing our interview questions, we decided to ask questions about the musicians backgrounds to give a brief introduction to who they are, and what they appreciate about live music. We asked questions based on the best and worst things about gigs, so we can explore both the negative and positive aspects of going to a gig. We also asked questions about fans and venues because it enabled us to retrieve information that only a professional artist would be able to give a detailed description of. These are the interivew questions that we employed to construct our interivews:

1)      What inspired you to become a musician?

2)      How do you feel when performing to a crowd?

3)      How do you feel before you go on stage?

4)      What’s the best thing about performing live?

5)      What’s the worst thing about performing live?

6)      How would you describe your fans?

7)      What was the first concert you saw and how old were you?

8)      How old were you when you first performed live?

9)      Where has been your favourite venue to perform?

10)   How many gigs do you go attend, personally?

11)   Do you prefer live music to recorded music, why?
