Post production phase
Post production phase is listed above separately from this word document.

9. Detail how you solved problems
Problem One: The first problem I had was when I was interviewing Dr John Richer in his
back garden. He didn’t want us to interview him in his house, so we respected that and
filmed him outside.
However, at points throughout the interview the wind was very strong causing a
disturbance for the audio. We had no mike shield for the microphone so had to carry on.
The audio disturbance was obvious when we came to editing the interview. We managed to
tone out most of the wind disturbance though which relatively solved the problem.
Prioritising (How and what did you prioritise during your producing)
Priority One: The first priority was getting the interview filmed with Dr John Richer. The
reason for this was that he had very little free time during his work for us. So we decided to
do the interview first (seeing as that was a large part of the documentary). Also this way, if
something did go wrong we would still have a chance of meeting him again to reshoot.
After the interview (main part of documentary) has been shot we then began shooting the
rest of the documentary in the order of the shooting script from intro to summary. This way
we were reducing the chance of missing anything out during filming.
Modifications (Why did you modify your work and what was changed during post-
production)
There was only one modification during the post-production phase. We had booked a date
to interview a celiac group for their thoughts and opinions on gluten, however they
contacted me by email a few days before the filming date with them was scheduled and
informed me that they could no longer take part in the documentary.
They apologised and I was fine with it however it left me with little time to make changes
that were now required. In the end I emailed Dr Richer with a set of additional questions for
him to answer. This was to help fill up the space of where we would originally have been
interviewing the celiac group.

10. Additional information
Interview Script (questions):
What is Gluten?
Who is affected by Gluten? (celiac)
What are some of the effects on people when they eat Gluten?
Is there any way to counter being gluten free? (apart from being on diet diet)
Are young patients finding it easier to keep to their exclusion diets now that gluten
free foods are readily available in supermarkets?
The questions above were emailed to Dr John Richer two weeks in advance of the scheduled
interview with him. This was so that he had plenty of time to prepare himself with the
answers he would give.
Shooting Script
Introduction:Medium still shot of presenter as they introduce the documentary and the
topic. At end of introduction the shot will fade out to black.
Interview: Two cameras will be used for this interview. The location for filming the
interview is at Dr John Richers house.
One camera will be filming a medium still shot of the presenter/ interviewer as they ask the
interviewee questions.
The other camera will be filming the interviewee to capture their repsonses to the questions
given to them by the interviewer.
Using two cameras rather than one is far more proffessional as it captures everything and
each camera can be focued on a specific person the whole time rather than panning across
from one person to another.

11. “Products that contain gluten” Scene: One camera shall be filming the presenter using a
still medium shot to capture it. When the scene ends the screen will fade to black.
“Gluten free product market” scene: One camera shall be filming the presenter using a still
medium shot to capture it. When the scene ends the screen will fade to black.
Summary/ end of documentary: One camera shall be filming the presenter using a still
medium shot to capture it. When the scene ends the screen will fade to black.
