COVERING THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE
One mistake that some freelancers make is telling only part of the performance story—the part that takes place when the curtain opens and when the curtain closes. A little forethought can go a long way to creating a classy three-dimensional project that tells the whole story of the event instead of just what happened when the curtain went up. “ What is the whole story?” you ask. Here’ s just a partial breakdown of everything you could shoot:
• Establishing shot of venue
• People buying tickets
• Setting up the venue tables
• Testing the lighting design
• People in line
• Preshow interviews
• The band warming up
• Backstage joking around
• Getting dressed
• Sound check
• Audience taking their seats
