New filming plans

After the set back of the last attempt to film the main bulk of our trailer, I've got hold of three other cameras I can use. Last night I experimented with all three outside in the evening when it was beginning to get dark and have chosen one that is sophisticated enough to film in the semi-darkness but capture a much more high quality picture.

I've made plans to film over the christmas break from college ensuring my friend has some time available. So that we can finish filming soon after the new year then edit and focus on the secondary elements of our campaign.

Filming results

Unfortunately, although I did manage to get all the shots I wanted within the time slot of good light. The camera I had available to me was not good enough to capture the images with limited light, making all of the footage unusable. This is a frustrating set back, but I'm trying to get hold of a better camera at the moment to try again.
However, this did mean I had some extra practice at getting the type of shots I wanted and handling the camera, we could also see which shots were effective and which weren't such as the POV shot included in the storyboard, which we decided looked too amateur and unsophisticated as we don't have the technology available to make it look effective and life like, so it is unlikely this shot will be included in the final product.
