Production

I'd had a look at the storyboard that was drawn up prior to the shoot to get an idea of what it was we were tying to achieve.
We picked up the equipment and headed to our first location (the hoe) with the purpose of getting some pretty cut-away footage. I asked the girls to act naturally and arranged some shots that I thought were visually pleasing.

We walked around the hoe and Barbican area, gathering shots as we went.

When we were finished filming the cut away shots, we headed back to college for some lunch followed by the setting up and filming in the cove.

One problem we did encounter was the microphones XLR lead was faulty and there was a long queue for the ERC. Because we only had a limited time in the cove, we decided to use the built in microphones on the zoom recorder as we didn't have time to spare. This obviously meant that the sound quality was poorer than what we had hoped. Especially as the cove has many lights which create a humming sound which is picked up by the microphone.

Sustainability:

We walked to each location, as opposed to driving. 

We made sure we didn't over shoot. We wanted to get enough footage for freedom for the edit, but were concious that too much footage would mean it would take more time (and electricity) to edit.
