Filming ideas for Saturday
This Saturday will be our last chance to film a derby bout, so it makes sense to go in with a plan. I know we've all had a chance to review at least part of the footage we got last time - so let's make some plans for what kind of shots we want to get this time to compliment what we already have. If anyone has ideas, please post 'em to the blog, then on saturday we can split them up so we can all be in charge of certain things.
Here's some stuff I would like to see us get:
1.) More interviews with players before/after the bout, focusing questions mainly the bout itself (how they prepare for it, how the feel before/after, how it feels to have all the fans watching, injuries or exciting bout moments etc)
2.) More of the preparation for the bout (I know we can't get in the locker room, but maybe we ask the coaches about filming the pre-game huddles or similar things)
3.) Focused close ups on players faces during the bout showing the exertion (I know this will be tough, but it would be cool. Could also get some when they are sitting down after playing, and are still all red-faced)
4.) Closer shots of people falling, checking each other etc - most of what we have is from far off (again these will be tough to get but would be very cool)
5.) Video of coaches/ref interacting with players using the wireless mics and a tripod to keep it steady
6.) Tight shots of fans clapping, yelling, holding signs
7.) Any B-roll showing DIY aspects (dames selling merchandise, setting up, etc.)
That's all I got for now - please post your ideas!

I think it would be beneficial to film a portion of the bout from the perspective of the fans. Perhaps set up shop with the more rambunctious/enthusiastic/invested portion of the crowd for a period. Capture their atmosphere and reaction as it occurs in the moment throughout the course of the bout.
In regard to the preparation, maybe we can get a very brief interview with the coaches before the bout with questions that are specific to the bout--(What are some keys for the bout tonight? Anything you'd like to see the ladies focus on?)
Try to get them (coaches and non-participating dames) to describe the excitement the ladies are feeling in the moment. Since we can't get into the locker room, maybe we can try to have them illustrate the vibe/atmosphere/mindset through their words.
