Studio Production Unit- Assisting with VT shoot.

The VT group (which I have been working with closely) has finished the final script for their VT on the young voters subject and have begun filming the actual VTs which include their presenter and contributors.
The shoot for this particular VT took place in Margate- somewhere I have never been before. Because of this, I had to make sure I- and everyone else that didn't know the area was prepared for the shoot and   had the proper things needed to make sure the risk of getting lost or separated from the group was minimal. This was quite easy to prepare for as I could simply make sure I had some updated Google Maps on my phone, and also make sure everyone had the correct phone numbers for everyone in case they needed to get in touch with anyone.
I contributed to this particular shoot by playing the part of a masked "Nigel Farage" character which was supposed to add a sense of comedy to the shoot. All in all the shoot went well, but we did come across a few obstacles.
For one, the masks and cameras we were carrying around attracted a lot of attention from the public, and as such we kept getting asked what it was we were recording, which although it wasn't particularly major, it did somewhat hinder and slow down the filming.
Margate at night, which allowed for a very scenic and interesting shoot.
