Documented - Third Day of Filming-Jay Gomez

On our third day of filming, we planned the shots that we were going to do before we filmed. We were short of one person in our group as they were not available at the time so we had to overcome that problem and we were limited to what we could do at the time.When we arrived at the filming location we had to watch our steps as there was a lot of dog mess around, we had to stop a few times to clean our shoes (eww). Another problem that we had is that once we placed the camera on the ground there were a lot of leaves that were getting in the way of the shot so some of the shoes were not in view so we had to change the angle of the camera and we had to move the leaves around quite a few times so that slowed us down when it came to actually filming the shots.
We were constantly looking over our story board to make sure that we were doing the correct shots that we had planned on doing before hand. However, some of the shots had to have the angle changed as they would not come out as we had originally hoped. This did not create too much of a problem for us and we continued to film.
The biggest problems that we had were the weather and the lighting. The weather was not how we intended it to be, it was wet and not very nice when we had hoped for it to be sunny and hot. The problem with the lighting was that because we were filming in late november it was getting dark rather early so time was against us and because we were filming in the afternoon, dusk was approaching rapidly.
