Guildhall Museum Documentary

In one day, we where told in a group to film certain things incise of the Guildhall Museum Rochester. I was probably in charge of the most difficult job in terms of filming, following a group of school children on a tour around the Museum. Me and partner where assigned to film around the museum and observe what the children where learning and finding interesting about the exhibits.

This was very difficult as we had to make sure to keep track of the children at all time, sometimes when we did some last minute recording we loose track of the kids and would have to look all around the museum to find them again. We also tried to get as many shots as possible around the museum as well as Rochester to help with the introduction of the edited video when it came to the finished piece.

What helped in the editing was that I recorded ambience in one of the art galleries that the museum had and used that as my music in the piece. Also I tried to edit it to make it look like a story, introducing the scene of the Guildhall and then the children. In some way it shows then show us around the museum and they are taking us around with them for the tour.
