Length 2:03
For this VT my role as the camera person and a video editor. I and Kika both worked on this together. We shot together and we edited together.
On the day of filming we got to the location, we set up the camera and shot a few GVs. We made sure we had enough shots for the cutaways. We shot some wide shots as well as close-ups. When Josh interviewed the activists, we made sure the mic was on, it was not in the shot and the shots were well focused.
When editing, we first went through all the rushes wee had and decided which ones we were gonna use. Some of the interviews were so long that we had to decide how to edit them and what to use. We also made sure that there were no sum cuts and audio levels were on the same levels, we dissolved sound where needed and stabilized shots.
The VT was steamed on 22nd November 2019 in a JLDN live show.
