Broadcast Logbook - TV Documentary

We explored many possible topics including Poole RNLI and a Christmas box collection. Following discussions, we settled the story of young female football coach, Emma Hankins, who coaches girls at the Dorset Centre of Excellence and has ambitions of coaching in America. When filming, she had applied for a position in America and was waiting for the results of a rigorous four-hour interview.

The filming process went well and captured some general footage and conducted our interview. We then went to her coaching session in Wareham, where we interviewed her boss who gave us some great sound bites.

The editing didn’t get off to a good start as we discovered the interview with Emma’s boss had no audio, losing much of the ‘American’ angle planned.

Consequently, we had to change our angle and opted to look at how she juggles her coaching with playing football and her degree.

We selected the clips we wanted to use and placed footage of her coaching, studying and playing over much of her interview.

Finally, we chose a music track to run in the background and overall, considering the late change of angle, we were pleased with the outcome.
On watching the documentary back, we realised that part of our footage which we had tried to slow down for effect, came out jerky and out of alignment with the sound, which was too late to alter. However, overall we were pleased with the final product.
