First day of shooting

Although i did assess all the possible troubles that i could have come across, so troubles are unforeseeable. Today i set out to film and although i am fairly confident with with the Sony HD cameras we are using, i don't know every inch of them. The camera was set slightly differently and i wasn't aware of that particular setting, as a result the footage we took was not recorded. On top of this, i was unable to shoot the first scene to the standard i was after due to lack of equipment. The shot was an eye level tracking shot but i was unable to walk with the camera and keep it stable.

After Barney had a look at the camera settings and showed us how to rectify the problem i am fully confident i can film and successfully capture all the footage i need.

As for the tracking shot i think the best solution is to use a bike, i sit on it holding the camera while two others hold the bike on either side and push it slowly.
