Kodak Awards- Time Shoot 3

The third and final shoot for the time advert was at Brad's house. Brad was waiting for us there while me and Liam got the equipment and picked up Tony to be the caveman again, meanwhile Ryan and Andrew were on their way to Preston Park to pick up Ryan's victorian costume, which they had no trouble getting.
The first issue we encountered was that the battery had not charged overnight so when we got to Brad's we immediately had to charge the battery for an hour, however, this was not an hour wasted because we used it to set up the tripod and slider, which took longer than an hour but we got the shot we wanted in the end so it was worth it. Another issue we had was that we were shooting indoors on Daylight stock so we required a lot of light which was hard to get but again, we managed to do this so it wasn't a huge issue. Brad also decided, on set that he wanted to include his dog in the shoot, this meant some takes were ruined by the dog moving, however this wasn't too often and as such again, wasn't a huge issue. The main issue we had was the amount of time it took to set up the camera and slider, although as we were inside in Brads house, the lighting didn't change an awful lot, certainly not enough to make a noticeable difference. As we were coming to the end of the shoot and filming the outside section with Tony and Ryan, we were at a point where we had to choose to be really conservative with out film or to cut out another scene we had pencilled in. Truth be told, me and Brad were already thinking about cutting the Roman scene out for running time sake on the advert so the lack of film on cemented the fact that we needed to do this, so having decided this, the pressure was off on nailing the final few shots and we decided to have some fun and do a few different takes with them and thus we got a great final shot, provided it comes back okay when developed.
So, to summarise, we had a few issues, battery, light and the fact that the small room made it hard and slow to set up the camera, but all of these were easily solved and we had another successful shoot.
