Day Two: Filming at URB Radio and Spa 28/05/08

On our second day of filming we decided to scrap using the marantz as it was more trouble than it was worth. I opted to use the R09 instead as a backup for the sound. We met Tim Dye URB’s station manager who was happy to do the tour and was helpful in pointing out different things we could film for cutaways such as the old newspaper articles from back when URB was first set up.

We couldn’t film in Studio1 because there was broken glass all over it and Tim’s key for Studio 2 was broken so we filmed Balve’s final scene in studio 3. We filmed Tim giving us a tour and a brief history of the station as well as some interview questions we wanted to use as cutaways from footage of Balve in the studio.



Once we’d finished at Bath Uni we got back on the bus to get footage of Balve explaining how he felt that he could not set up a radio station at Bath Spa, however the R09 and the Panasonics internal mics were picking up too much noise from the buses engine, so we decided to get some footage of balve sitting on the bus and possibly adding a voice over of his explanation. We also agreed to film him doing this scene at the bus stop at Bath spa’s bus stop and run with whichever sequence looked better. And that was to be the end of our filming and the beginning of editing…
