'Magnifier Movie'
A short video was shot by Gail Theis, Nicola Siebert Patel and Hamish Pringle at the V&A on 12th June 2019, then edited subsequently in the Digital Media Centre at Wimbledon. Sadly there's no copy of the film.
Learning outcomes:
1. Anticipate and be prepared. It’s a photographer’s maxim that right place, right time, and right equipment increases the chances of getting a good shot. In considering the V&A location it struck me that if our team were to secure original footage we needed to have an unusual angle. So I took my antique magnifying glass with me on the off-chance it could come in handy.
​
2. Like minds can help. All three of us had visited the V&A numerous times so were familiar with it. When we brainstormed ideas I produced my magnifying glass. This led to a discussion of what to look for amongst the myriad objects on display. A short leap and we decided to interview V&A guides asking for recommendations. Then we went to find the objects, and take a really close look.
​
3. Team work works. We each had mobile phones so we were able to film scenes simultaneously from three points of view. So we had interesting footage to edit.
