Filming: Session 3

This time filming went nearly perfect, with only one small hiccup that was easily fixed and four very cold people. We decided to meet outside Piccadilly Circus at 11.00, I can't speak for anyone else but for me the journey wasn't too bad, as I just had to take one bus for around an hour , once I arrived I waited for everyone else. I was also carrying all the equipment but as I was on the bus and had very little walking to do, it worked out alright. Weirdly they all decided to trust me with the directions again, which was strange seeing as everyone who knows me knows my directions aren't great, shown by our troubles filming the weekend previous, but I prepared before hand and knew exactly where we needed to go and so I managed to get us there with no trouble.

Then once we arrived at the location, we discovered the one hiccup, the battery was running low. Looking back down I think I forgot to turn on the plug as I don't remember seeing a red light appear. This however didn't turn into a huge problem though as even though it ran out while we were filming our final 10 seconds it gave us a brilliant opportunity to go inside a shop and take a break while it was charging and then finish filming after. The only other difficulty that came up consisted of the dreadful weather, as that day it was freezing cold and around three quarters through our filming it started to pour. Most of us were alright as we were wrapped up warm although still slightly cold from the wind but I felt awful for Clara whose costume consisted of only one thin layer and so she was extremely cold throughout the filming and went every we made a cut quickly ran to put her coat back on

For the first time that day I also used the sound equipment, which we hadn't used previously. I think that the recordings worked extremely well, as you can hear all the dialogue clearly as it was very easy to use. Other than those two hiccups the filming went perfectly with us getting all the shots needed and it not taking too long. Looking back at the footage now we are both very happy with it as you can't see the rain at all coming now at all, my one worry with the footage.

And so now all our filming is complete, so we now need to put it all together and cut it down.
