It may have been an easier day if I had filmed in doors, but it seemed like the rain would not hold up. Based on the interview as organized before, I had a meeting with the steel pan band in the Queens Park Savannah. The St. Magaret's Boys band competed in the junior competition for youths under 12. This was an inspirational event and the boys didn't seem to mind that their instruments were getting drenched by the rain. Parents circled the pans and supported their children through the downpour, but these children's spirits shined through and provided the sunlight needed to cross the stage and beam.
I stood through the "pitter patter" of the rainfall, hoping to capture these moments, but more so hoping I had a team to pick up the loose ends. I take full credit for the camera work done here, it was indeed a way for me to perfect my skills. I practiced a lot before. The band arrived at 9:00 am and they were set to play in 16th. Since many bands did not show, they went up quickly but still managed to play around 2:00 pm. That showed commitment on all parts.
I commend Miss Abraham and her daughter for their efforts to stick it through.
Pictures of this session would be posted later on, but for now I would now work on transferring the footage captured and replaying every element of it, already constructing how it would be seen in this documentary.
