Friday 29th

Due to the weather being cloudy, it got dark too early on Thursday, so i got up extra early on Friday to try and catch the morning light. Because the deadline for the rough cut is due in today, i had to film with the time we had, even though the weather was different to the first time we filmed. I am currently learning how to tint the colour of the film on Premier Pro so i am hoping the after effects will help keep continuity throughout the two minutes.

As it was raining i had to prepare myself with an umbrella to protect the camera. Although this was awquard to hold on my own it kept me dry too enabling me to stay out for longer. As it was early in the morning when i filmed, there was local dog walkers that interrupted my shots at times, so this ruined some of the shots. I had to re-adjust the camera stand many times because the floor levels were so uneven, as i noticed some of my filming was at a crocked angle.

It was harder than i thaught panning tree branches and had to practice this process several times to try and keep a steady hand. The camera stand legs got in the way when trying to shoot from worm eye view, but i overcame this by shortening the lenght of the back two legs so the camera didnt have to be tilted at such a low angle.
