We phoned Interskin Studios in Staines and organised a filming expedition to contribute to our final documentary piece. The agreed to let us film and interview the tattoo artists, which has enabled us to gain valuable film which will enhance the professionalism of our documentary, and make it more informative. We chose to interview a tattoo artist who had been practising tattooing since he was young, and specialised in nature related tattoos. This allowed us to learn more about tattooing as an art form, and why people get into the tattooing business as a line of work.
Two men had booked tattoo appointments at the time that we arrived, and agreed to let us film them having their tattoos done. This was a perfect opportunity to get some valuable footage for our documentary, and we managed to get a variation of angles and shots using both a Sony Camcorder and a Kodak Zi8 to get as much footage and as many still shots as possible.
We have integrated the footage in a number of different ways. The footage of the men being tattooed has been put into our montage at the very opening of our documentary, and also the very end. The tattoo artist we interviewed was a really useful piece of footage which we used as a separate interview to show the informative nature of our documentary.
