Filming week 2

Today we needed to finish off filming. we had arranged to visit our 2 inside locations, Bath Abbey and St.Micheal's church. However we still had not got in contact with Charles Curnock from Bath abbey to discuss times, so i rang him up and he told me that my group could film between 9 and 10. It was already 9:30 so we rushed to the Abbey to film, however i got a phone call telling me that we had left the battery for our camera back at the college, so Liam and Oliver had to rush back and get it. By the time they got back we only had 15 minutes to film and the public were already starting to enter the hall. Because of this we could not get the shot we intended, therefore we had to make do by making it another running through shot, and decided to come back at 4 to continue filming when it was less busy. After getting the shots, we went St.Micheal's to continue filming.
We were told that only 3 of us were allowed to film upstairs due to lack of space, so Liam, Oliver and I decided that we would go. We had already planned our shot when we visited St.Micheal's so it did not take a lot of time, however the camera wasn't picking up the silhouettes if the surrounding buildings out the window, so we had to work out how to change from outside mode to inside mode half way through our shot. Once we had got our shot we decided to leave, however i saw an opportunity to get a good shot, so i took the camera back up on my own and shot it. I feel that this was a good idea, has I was taking advantage of the location, and i feel the shot will be useful when making our film. The only problem that we encountered today, was public in the Abbey, but the rest of the day was very productive and i feel we have enough footage to create our film.
