review of filming day two

On Friday we started our second day filming on location. This day’s shoot was dedicated to the performance side of our video. The first thing we had to do was to transport all the equipment/props, (instruments, amps, camera, tripod) to the location. This was fairly problematic as the carrying and transporting the instruments and amps took a while and a lot of effort. Due to when we needed to set up (before everyone got down) the carrying and transporting was left to a few people, so it was a lot of back and fourth. Another minor problem we had was due to other people having to be other places or doing other things until everyone got there, Becky was left alone to look after the equipment on location for a while. Next we set up the instruments and amps in location where we wanted them. This only had a slight problem and that was making sure the wires and plugs where hidden from view. The next problem we encountered was the camera’s battery. We were told both camera’s we took out had full battery, however when we took out on location one had no battery at all, and the other only had half battery. As a result of this we had to film everything as best we can as quick as possible, meaning we couldn’t take the same shot several times. This also meant some shots had to be cut down, and we had to make sure we got everything right pretty much first time. One other problem we had was not enough people who drive, meaning multiple trips had to be made and it was difficult to transport people and equipment. Another problem was some of the band members were bad at organizing themselves and equipment, so we had to organize everything for them as well as ourselves.
