Extended;

Monday afternoon, due to not being able to be notified about changes to our timetable, I had set out with my group and our performer to film after tutorial on monday, however the timetable had been changed and tutorial started when we planned to film and a new lesson has been assigned after this.
I was quite annoyed that nobody had told me this, because Fran came in especially to do the filming, and so was did I, because after filming all morning for Sven and Elliott, I felt all ill again.
Anyway, Liam had an exam and Sophie needed her EMA, so Fran and I went off filming on our own and managed to get the rest of the footage completed in time for editing at Coleridge today.

Another thing which annoyed me was ALL of the footage on saturday was filmed on a DV tape! Because I was performing in another groups video on friday I did not get a chance to notice this, so the footage done today is in HD(thank goodness) and of course all the footage I did today is the main stuff we need in our video(The greenhouse thing, wondering around the forest)
Again, it was lovely and sunny, so Fran wasn't too cold in the costume.
I think that possibly this footage is better than what was shot on saturday, which is a shame, but it has more colour and it's in HD.
Obviously I couldn't take any 'proof' pictures because it was just me and the performer. We did find it a bit of a struggle just being us two because the equipment is quite heavy and it was hard moving the speakers around and the camera. I tried to do some hand-held(you can tell I've been near Elliott) and I think it went okay, except the camera is too heavy for me.
Overall, I think me and Fran got some great footage, but the speakers Nick kindly leant us ran out! But we did shoot half an hour's worth of stuff and they did end at just the right time!
