Probelm with the tripod

When we first needed to use the tripod we realized there was something wrong with the leg of it. This was when we were trying to get the shot ready for Jem who was shooting his busking scene. We managed to play around with it and got it working but there was an error with one of the screws not allowing the leg of the tripod to lengthen out.

Calling the teacher

We had to call Nuray (the teacher) when we were in Brighton because of the bad weather conditions and we needed her opinion on what to do. Unfortunately, Nuray was on holiday and couldn't answer the phone call so we decided to sit down and work it out for ourselves. Although the weather agreed to be slightly cloudy it didn't mention any rain which got really bad.
We sat down and the closest seating area which is possible and agreed to change some of the shots we had already agreed on, which wasn't that much of a big deal but was difficult because the accessible areas to shoot were really busy because of the rain everyone was paraded inside.

Filming: Cast Issues with Raphi

Unfortunately, on of the members of the group who was friends with Raphi forgot to tell her until last minute that we needed her for the following day due to a muck up with the weather forecast. Raphi was unable to make the shoot and we had to shoot Jem all day instead. We got some good footage, we are slightly concerned as we aren't sure if the footage of Jem and Raphi in Brighton is enough to produce enough the music video.

We would of shot more on the next following days but we didn't have access to the gallery rooftop and we had to give the equipment to the next group because they were filming the next day.

Filming Day 1: Brighton (Bad Weather Conditions)

When we booked the trip to Brighton we checked the weather conditions prior to going. According to the BBC the weather was going to be bright and sunny. When we got to Brighton the weather was freezing and the sky was really grey, we carried on filming as if it wasn't an issue but some of the shots were ruined as we hoped there was lots of natural sunlight.

However, when we went to film on the pier we had about ten minutes till it started pouring down raining. This was really annoying as we couldn't film the rest we wanted to, we waited around for a few hours hoping the rain would eventually calm down or stop but it didn't and we had pre booked a train home around 4:00.

We have taken more shots to make up for the shots we didn't gain but we didn't get the sunlight shots which we would have preferred.

Learning how to use the equipment

As we are filming next week, we all needed a reminder on how to use the equipment.

We can all remember from last year but it was good to refresh our memories to ensure that we are fully prepared for filming on Monday and Tuesday.

We all now feel confident with the equipment and are looking forward to shooting our video!

The night before the Brighton Shoot

The night before the shoot in Brighton we had to check to make sure we had everything and make sure it worked. We charged all the cameras again to make sure they were 100% charged so the battery would last the longest. I made sure my tickets were in my bag and everything was ready for the morning,
