Re-Shooting

Today's filming was to correct one of the shots that we had previously taken that had an error.

In the previous scene there was a slight bit of the screen that showed Vidur's face behind the stairs. We did not realise this until we arrived back to the classroom and had loaded the footage on to the computer, meaning that we could not shoot it again that day due to time restrictions.

When it came to getting the camera in to position again, I found that if it was put on a tripod then it didn't give us such a good shot as we could not get as much in the screen. I tried holding it by hand but even then it wasn't great as it wasnt steady. Finally I decided to lean against the door and crouch down with the camera resting on my knee. This decision was made because it meant that the camera was steady and there was no chance of a wobble as I was steady against the door.

The shot worked well and we have now put the footage on the computer in class and added it to our other footage.
