On Tuesday after school the whole group went along to Bethnal Green in East London by tube to a place called Oxford House. Once there we were greeted by a woman called Sharon Ferguson, a lesbian reverand, who is in her own words "the face of Gay and Lesbian Christians". More importantly, she is a representative of the 'Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement', which has been established for over 30 years. We interviewed Sharon in her office because she was surrounded by artefacts proclaiming her strong religious beliefs.
- We asked her nine set questions that she answered in full with lots of examples and explanations which will make it easy for the viewers of our documentary to understand.
- We made sure to keep to the rule of thirds by placing Sharon to the right of the frame as her eyes were directed towards the left (where Alex was sat asking the questions, but out of the actual shot).
- Elliott was the acting camera man and he made sure to zoom in on Sharon's face when she came to an important point to make the shot more intense and personal.
- Unfortunately during the interview our camera ran out of battery and we had to stop to charge it for a while. Luckily Sharon was very nice about it and we had a break for about ten minutes while it charged.
- While the camera was charging Sharon gave us some reading material on the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement that we could perhaps use in our documentary somehow, either quoting it or filming pages from a magazine we received.
- We filmed her surrounding office once the interview was over to use for cut-aways and such.
