For our second shoot at Beacon Hill it was myself filming the variety of shots we needed and James acting the shots. Unfortunately Tom had a university interview so was unable to attend this shoot. Whilst shooting we didn't battle against too many difficulties, but here is a list of issues and successes...
Issues
• Bitterly cold so we weren't too keen on staying up there for too long.
• The terrain was very lumpy and loose so James sometimes lost his footing when running back up the hill.
• Some of the shots we wanted weren't clear enough with the glare from the sun on the lense.
• Took time to get the tripod level on the bumpy slope with the camera attached.
• The wall that James had to partially climb was fairly slippy so to be safe he had to climb slowly which in turn required us to speed up the footage on Sony Vegas.
Successes
• The weather was perfect with minimal wind.
• The shots looked professional and clear
• We managed to shoot all the shots we had drawn on our storyboards.
• We didnt have to move too far to achieve all the shots.
• James' acting was sublime so the maximum number of takes per shoot was 3.
• The equipment that we used ran like clockwork so there wasn't any technological issues.
