I had to wait for a camera today so I didn't get to start when I needed to, I've been waiting for some rain-free weather to film outside and it was sunny this morning but by the time I got my camera the sun had gone in and it kept threatening to rain. I did manage to finish filming though and the rain stayed away.
I started filming at Charterwood Mobility and NCSV Shopmobility and it wasn't until I got halfway through the record that I realized the image on the small screen had slight white showing where there was a change in light. I spent the rest of the day worrying that when transferred to computer the images would still show the white instead of light. Because Charterwood is at the back of the shopping village not many people visit it so whilst I was recording there weren't any customers. This is a shame because it's a large shop and my shots would look better with people in them but that is also the reason why I am doing this advert - so that people know that this place exists and where it is.
Whilst the rain was deciding to fall or not I went and recorded in Notcutts Garden Centre so I got all the exterior shots I felt I needed. Luckily, there were also a few customers perusing the plants so I had a couple of shots with potential customers.
FineLine Windows Doors & Conservatories is mainly based outdoors and is situated next to the Garden Centre so that is where I went next. Once again nobody was around so the shots are clear.
Behind FineLine - Johnsons Garden Buildings is located. There was a couple being shown but they didn't want to be part of the advert so whilst they were looking at the interiors of the cabins I was outside recording exteriors and then we swapped so that I could show the different sizes and the different uses such as a playhouse for kids or a place to put your Jacuzzi.
Granite Transformations was up next, it is quite a small area as a shop so there wasn't much in the way of products to record.
For the past week I've been trying to record at Noble House Chinese Restaurant but every time I'd get there they would be closed and nobody around. Today I got there just before they opened so I could do some shots of the interior - no customers but what's new.
To finish it all off I did a couple of shots of the car park and an establishing shot of Newnham Court which I couldn't do from within the Shopping Village, this meant I had to pull over into someones drive-way just off of the motorway stand at the top of a small incline. The owners thought my car had broken-down - the lengths I go to for a decent shot.
Because it was very late in the day when I finished I went home and will upload the last bits of footage tomorrow.
