This was day 4 of the shoot and it was the easiest of the lot we arrived at voodoo lounge at just after 10pm and are actor turned up just after 10pm. We decided that this would be the best location for this characters interview this character was meant to the be the opposite of Mr K character. There were no major problems with this shoot apart from the noise coming from voodoo as it was louder than we expected because of this when we were using the sound equipment it only picked up Lews voice and not mine apart from that it was really good and are actor was really good and a friend of my family which is lucky because i had him in mind when i was writting the character briefs. Because of the sound I'm not to sure at the moment if we will be able to use this scene, but we will see if we can sort the sound levels out and be able to use it. For this shoot we had Damian doing the sound recording, Ricky as first camera and Ross was second camera because Lew is a good friend of mine it was easy to get the best out of him and it was easy for me to give him the basics of the scene and let him add some of his character to it.

This is what Voodoo looked like from the outside and this
was the back drop to our interview.

This is a picture of me speaking to Lew and going
 through the scene with him.

This is a shoot of Ricky setting up the
camera and framing the shot.

This is how we were going to frame Lew but decided to frame it
in front on voodoo and the hundreds people.

This is the scene that we shoot with Lew outside of voodoo because of sound issues ross thought that it would be better off leaving this scene as i thought it needed to be in there as this character is the oppisite  character to Mr K. As we came nearer the end of editing we decided that we needed this character and we were able to fit it in the mockumentary and with this scene we didnt have to change the title sequence.
