Filming Today

Today we did the first shots for our final video. I feel it went quite well as we took more time over doing them meaning that they weren't just 'good enough' but they were actually satisfactory. It took a lot longer than anticipated though, for several reasons including:

• Driving to get around places ended up being quite time consuming as we went between Whetstone, Enderby, Blaby, Croft and Fosse Park. I also accidentally took a wrong turn meaning we also were headed to Desford at one point which, when in rush hour, was far from ideal. 
• When filming the sky going dark about 10 minutes into the shot the wind blew the tripod & camera over. This meant we had to restart the shot. Luckily the sky hadn't darkened too much by this point and the remaining 30 minutes we did capture does show a change in lighting. 
• Getting the dog to do what we wanted was only an issue in that we had to tire him out to prevent him doing whatever he pleased. Therefore we had to run around with him and let him play for about 10 minutes before we could actually take the shot. However, he did actually cooperate quite well and we managed to get the shot we wanted by the third take. 

As a whole though the filming went well and we achieved everything we wanted to.
