As a part of creating the season review we needed to collect footage from the live matches including the pre-game warmups, crowd shots and the game itself. This was done over 4 match days including games against Peterborough, Millwall, Bristol Rovers and Fleetwood Town.
Before the games started we would film the players in their pre-game warmups and would be given access on the pitch itself. The final home game of the season would also have an awards ceremony for the players half hour before the game so this would be something else we'd film.
As we were given all access passes by the media team, it was assumed that we would be able to get pitchside with the cameras by the touchline. However neither the stewards nor the official safety officers were not told about us filming at the game and we did not have official bibs to state that we were supposed to be there. Though the issue was resolved when Oliver came down and spoke to them about what we were doing, we were restricted to the walkways meaning we could potentially be blocking fans from certain locations.
Seeing as we were restricted for space and would be moving about a lot, it was not deemed necessary to bring an EX or a PMW so we used the DSLR cameras and went handheld when filming. This was not a huge issue though zooming in to far away action did become a problem and we could only really film what was close to us.
