Behind The Scenes: Shooting at Brand's Hatch

We decided to go to Brands Hatch and talk to a racing driver about his thoughts on the cost of motoring as well as motorsport and that if motorsport could be going electric in the next few years. We went to brands hatch without anyone to interview because of the tiny amount of time we had to think about this, but we had a good idea and some great questions meaning that we were very confident that we could go up to someone and get a great interview.

I had been to Brands Hatch numerous amounts of times before meaning I knew the location but we did want to reccie it again before shooting. We walked around the paddock and discussed areas that could be a possibility, and others that may not be. Eg: Dangerous or loud (like a generator). I suggested to George that he introduce us as he is good with words and he did a good job of finding two people to interview.

We talked to two racing drivers, Firstly Stuart who raced in the Formula Fords and then Jason who also raced in the Formula Fords. We talked to both drivers for about 10 minutes before the interviews because we wanted to get both of the drivers before we did our 2 minute interview. Once we had got to know the drivers we started the interviews.

If you want to see these interviews, be sure to catch our special "The Cost of Motoring" airing this Thursday on our YouTube channel.
