Shooting =)
We have now finished shooting for our video.
We had a rather eventful time whilst we were filming. The first event happened when we were setting up for our first shot of the video, we were on limekiln hill and had the camera in the back of my car (so it wouldn't get wet). Then out of nowhere we heard a voice saying hello, both Scott and i turned around to see a police officer standing at the side of my car. "What are you doing then lads" he asked, so we explained to him that we were simply filming for our A2 media music video project. He said " Well that seems like an honest answer seeing as you have a camera in the car". He then went on to explain that there has been a history of drug misuse in the layby where we had parked. We told him he had nothing to worry because we had nothing of the sort on the car, at which point he left us to carry on filming.
The second, more traumatic event happened on the second day of filming. Scott and i decided we would film in Cambridge, it had been pouring with rain all day so i had to drive with my lights on, this weather was perfect for the video but not so great because nobody wants a wet camera. We therefore decided that the best place to park would be in the grand arcade car park. So we parked, took the equipment out of the car and went into town. 3 hours later we came back to the car, happy with how filming had gone. I put the key on the drivers side door and went to unlock the car, my door unlocked but none of the others did. We thought nothing of it so, we loaded up the car. I put the key in the ignition and turned it. Nothing. The car wasn't starting. I glanced at the switch for the headlights, it was in the on position. I had left the headlights on for the past 3 hours and guess who had a flat battery. ME! What do we do now? we tried to push start the car but because there was a slight incline in the car park i we couldnt get the car moving fast enough to get it started. Luckily the nicest man in the world drove past and had jump leads. What a hero.
So overall our filming went really well but, there where some eventful moments!
