For this test shoot , we decided to film at night at West Common . The main purpose of this test was to see how well the camera could handle very low light conditions , but fortunately the footage looked better than expected.

Even though we were only there for a short period of time, I learnt quite a bit from the experience. One main thing was the fact we were filming in darkness, it took us twice as long to set up and move the equipment as normal (something we’ve got to take into account with regards to the filming schedule) , and we also had to be weary of one another as we were filming in darkness with everyone silent and focusing on the task in hand , it get very difficult to track where anyone is at any given time.

 

Having done this 2nd test shot , I feel it puts us in a good position in terms of ability and confidence to successfully complete this 20 minute film .
