So we have started filming and up until yesterday, all was going as planned. The first day we managed to film, we managed to film a whole scene to our liking and after we edited it together, it is looking amazing and we are really happy with it!
However, we booked all of the equipment out yesterday with the intention to go into Essentials to film our sandwich scene. We lugged the equipment around campus until we met at Essentials and had to spend a while finding managers to confirm our permission to film in there. Essentials was quite a lot busier at the time we went than we had anticipated, so this was a negative to start off with.
After we had finally got permission, the manager didn't seem totally up to the idea, as the store was still fairly busy, but none the less we had prior permission and the time we went was outside of their peak store times.
So we got ready to start filming after the manager had got a staff member to completely re-order the shelves for us and tidy the shelves up, we got the camera out and found that we had no battery... Disaster! So that was the extent of our filming that day.
So lesson learnt, always check the equipment when you first receive it, as if that was a paid shoot, it would have been an incredible amount of money wasted.
