Filming The Not So Narrative

Today was the day that I was due to film the narrative and let's just say that things did not go according to plan.

I went to the area outside Cineworld. Having just set up the filming equipment, a security guard approached us and told us that we were unable to film on their site. He then gave us a number to ring to see if we were allowed to film there. I was then told to ring another number. This person told us that we were not allowed to film there, so we had to find a new filming location.

We filmed some parts along Hills Road and that was when I realised that the camera was nearlky out of battery. I also released i was unable to do any tracking shots and the following camera shoots looked slightly unimpressive and not very cool.

We embarked back on the trek to Long Road where we managed to get hold of a chair to do some tracking shots around the college. We then had to explain ourselves to a few members of staff as to why we were filming and we filmed one final scene out in the quad before lunch.

I felt that today went okay. I didn't managed to get very good footage, but I feel there was some good bonding between me and the other people who helped me shoot the scenes.

Feedback From The Commissioner 

Having spoken to the band, I explained the situation regarding the failure of filming the narrative. They explained that the narrative wasn't exactly essential and instead we should just make the video entirely performance based.  I took the band's advice and settled on this idea.
