After watching this documentary I realised how much the cuts, camera work and narration together help sway perception of the subject.

Every Runner Has A Reason

This documentary is one that i am taking great inspiration from.

Test Shoot #1

Tuesday 25th I went to the boxing gym to carry out my first test shoot. With dim lighting I had to crank up the iso to ensure enough light was getting to the sensor. I then could use a faster shutter speed to get sharper movement.

This is Leigh, this is the man I will be basing my documentary on.

Muay Thai Boxing Gym

I got to the training gym, and took  some photos of the location and to see how the lighting i would be working with if i was to shoot in here. I had a good chat with the man who ran the place (who is also a Muay Thai boxer). He said he was happy to let me come in and shoot anytime i wanted and also has a lot of still image material i could use if needed.

On tuesday 28th October i took the bus in lincoln for the first time ever to go to the Muay Thai boxing training Gym
