Documentary Diary - Flowers for Helen

Unfortunately I was unable to attend due to over commitments so they went on and filmed Flowers for Helen gig at the Masque in Liverpool on 07/10/2010 and also got to interview them afterwards.



Looking back at the footage, what worked with the interview is that the band answered the questions in full and gave back some funny answers which reflects their individual personality's. With the gig footage, they have a great close up view of the stage which shows there performance really well.

What didn't work was that we had planned to interview the band backstage but because of the noise from other bands performing they had to move the location to downstairs where it was quieter. The new location wasn't really ideal as it was dark and hard to hear what the band members were saying. Consequently we will are going to re film the interview at the Taxi club, Walton.
