24 HOURS IN A&E - THE GARDEN for CHANNEL 4
36 x 60 minutes
Supervising Producer Director (Post) / Supervising Gallery Producer (location) / Supervising Floor Producer (location)
Genre: Fixed Rig Documentary, Observational
With a fixed rig of over 100 cameras, filming 24 hours a day, we followed the amazing work of medical staff and the often life-changing events of the patients and their families in one of London's busiest Emergency Departments.
As Supervising Gallery Producer, I worked with a team in the gallery and a team on the floor in the emergency room, deciding which patients to follow on their medical journey and the staff treating them. We were often filming multiple stories at one time.
As Supervising Post Producer Director, I ran two edit suites simultaneously. Going through all the footage from our 24 hour period, we decided on the cases and medical staff to feature and cut it all down to 50 minute duration film, without ever losing the heart of the series. Interviewing the patients' families and friends was key to finding more about the patients and their lives and to find out what happened the moment disaster struck.
As Supervising Floor Producer, I ran the team on the floor across the emergency room, liaising with staff and patients for consent and working with the gallery.
