Corrections to Danny Biggs 
Interview… 
When we came to analysing the corrections needed to 
improve our documentary, we were focused on developing 
Danny Biggs’ interview for many reasons. These include; 
• Sound – To listen to the interview, Danny is quiet and sounds 
slightly unenthusiastic. 
• The angles of the interview do not work. 
• The lighting in the multicam is not consistent, being darker 
with more shadows in one angle. 
• Subject issue- Danny’s response varied and he didn’t have 
good interview techniques such as eye contact and 
posture.
What are we going to do? 
To improve Danny’s interview we will find a new personal trainer. 
We will need to add montage shots of the topics that the PT talks 
about throughout the interview with sound motifs of what the PT is 
saying, such as the reason for people going to classes. 
Our montage footage will include; 
• Girls walking into a gym laughing and talking to highlight social 
aspect of going to the gym/bootcamp classes. 
• Unpacking of a sports bag in a changing room. 
• Putting on trainers and tying shoe laces- preparation to exercise.
Locations needed for 
Montage Footage… 
 Ratcliffe College; 
 Sports Hall entrance 
 Fitness Suite 
 Changing Room
The Next Step… 
 Contact Models and Head of Sport for 
permission. 
 Model Release Forms for actors. 
 Location Release Forms for gym and sports hall 
entrance. 
 Risk Assessment for Gym. 
 Storyboard of montage footage to enable 
timing with Danny’s interview answers. 
 Find a new Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor
