Filming: Bill (Barman at The Green Room)

Unfortunately, a few times when visiting the Green Room for an interview we were told we had just missed the manager and also the member of staff who he had recommended for the film. The manager wasn't keen on being on camera so we were told his barman, Bill, would be happy to get involved. We arranged a day to film him and although it was only possible close to our deadline we still wanted to get as much footage of those in the Devonshire Quarter as possible.



All of us were available on that day and after deciding on a location in the Green Room to film, we interviewed Bill on his views on the area and the plans/ Hannah was the interviewer while Sarah filmed and Emily recorded the sound. Although, due to being editor and not having an on set role officially, I helped with a couple of questions to ask Bill and also filmed particular features of the Green Room. I'd never been so fascinated with a building/bar before but the decorations and props were full of well known bands and vintage signs such as a Hollywood sign and artistic drawings of Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner. I also filmed an archway in the bar that featured lots of posters advertising band nights and concerts of unknown artists.
