Sunday 18th October

Today the weather was better, and the sun was out, which meant the woodland area in Babraham was lit up enough for the filming of the 2nd half (last part) of my music video (rough cut). I was unable to start when I wanted to which was at 10AM because I misplaced the tripod clamp (which attaches onto the camera bottom so that it can be fixed onto the actual tripod) When I realized that the time was fast going by I decided to just use my other tripod, the only down side to this is that there is no control lever which meant that I would have trouble panning / moving with the camera on the tripod, but due to time constraints I decided that this option was all i had.

Once I had the equipment ready I then made sure that both Lee and Alison were ready for the film shoot in the woods, for example made sure that everyone was wrapped up warm and also that they knew exactly what they had to do prior to going into the woodland area in Babraham.

We got into the wood and started filming at around 12AM (Aprox). I got a variety of shots based upon my story board (some shots were not based on my story board due to the simple fact that I decided to change some shots around due to the location etc..)

Overall I believe todays shoot in the woods went well, but could of gone better if I was more organized with the equipment and if I done some prior equipment checks again last night then today it wouldn't of been so hectic, but I believe I coped well with the situation and soon got my other half of the music video produced.

My plan now is that tomorrow instead of traveling to Coleridge to edit my footage for the 2nd half of my music video, I will work from home on my own computer. This is mainly because the software I need to edit my footage on is installed on my own computer and not at Coleridge.


Here are some photos from todays music video shoot in Babraham woods (Taken by Lee Kemp) :
