Procedure

Currently preparing the approach to filming, a shot list and taking some rough mini DV footage (the still images in this Blog).  I will be uploading some very short extracts from this very rough material, which will form working studies for when I come to shoot on the 29th May. The procedure will take into account the approach of the musicians, the ambience of the location, and the challenge of documenting the interaction of the sounds and the space.

The team will include:
