Day 1 Re-shoot and Camera Change.

For the first day of re-shooting our title sequence, we changed cameras from what we had initially used: 

Which is the camera I own and what we felt would be fine for shooting. We soon realised that using a camera with 1) autofocus and 2) uses AA batteries that are not a re-chargeable was a poor decision on our part. 14 batteries later we finished shooting to find out when we watched the footage back it was too dark and we had to re-shoot. This time we used the DSLR and with focus that we could control and a battery that lasted far longer. 

The focus that could be altered by us meant that we could get far better shots and we didn't have to guess (when we couldn't see the camera screen) whether the shot was in focus. 

This is one of our favourite shots of the title sequence that was made using the DSLR. The old camera wouldn't have got the focus in the correct place or would have had the whole shot in focus.

 

We still need to re-shoot on Sunday (16.3.14) to get the final shots and then that is all filming done, Liam can finish editing ready to show on Wednesday.
