This is a brief summary of my work. I should have had this up sooner but haven’t had the time. Now I have the time and its also required of me as part of one of my classes at NBCCD.
A day/week in the Life of a Firefighter.
(working title) Saint John Fire Rescue
Type: One Off
Estimated Completion date: late October 2012 if possible
Estimated shooting dates: July 23-29 if possible
Estimated length of final cut: 90-100 minutes
The goal of the program is to inform the public of the inner workings of a
Full time Fire Department in Canada.
What goes on inside a Station, on scene and in Training.
If possible go on every call, shoot every scene, and talk to personnel.
There isn’t a real script per-say. I’m really just going to have to see what I shoot in 24hrs
My goal ‘battle plan’ is try and be embedded into an Engine Company.
Spend a week, Monday to Sunday with each station 1 through 8 ( there is no station 3)
just like a war journalist is embedded into an Army unit. I wont be a 3rd party presence,
I’ll be along side the firefighters with them every day.
I really don’t know what the End product will be like until I Shoot the footage and review it.
I wish to partner with Rogers TV NB
I plan on shooting the Majority of the video on a Nikon D400 or a Canon 60D/7D (Sony XDCAM if possible) with Point of View shots using GoPros and a FireCam.
At around 4pm today fire crews responded to reports of a fire in a bedroom at 6 Anglin Crescent. Crews quickly knocked down a fire in a dresser in one of the apartment units.
There were reports of a person trapped in another apartment inside the building. Crews made forceful entry to that unit and found that the apartment was empty. No one is reported to be injured and the occupants are being displaced for the night, while investigators check the scene.
The scene, Engine 8 was first Due.
Fire Crews at the building.
