Issues With Film Again

Over half term, we booked a camera and tripod from the library again with the intention of filming corrections for the film on wednesday, the only day we were all free. However, it threw it down with rain all day, and seeing as our location was outside, this presented a problem. We got a bunch of umbrelllas and had at least one over the camera at all times to keep it dry. Instead though, the camera was seriously affected by the cold and the first battery we had lasted about half an hour, and we only had about fifteen seconds of useable footage. Then the camera got so cold that we had to stop filming, because the picture had black lines through it. On top of this, Andy didn't have all the right clothes on, and we hadn't had a chance to storyboard it properly.

In the end of the camera got so cold that the batterys were running out incredibly fast, and so we had to abandon the shoot when it stopped working all together. However, we have managed to arrange a new time, and yet another new location, and are just waiting for some more decent weather to film in, and the forecast shows we can do it soon, so it looks promising.
