Problems and Solutions

One problem which we had come to was that one weekend we travelled to a city with two cameras and two batteries and tapes. When we set everything up to start shooting we found out that one battery had no charge in it and the other one had less than 5minutes of filming in it so we were only able to do a few shots. The reason why there was no battery life was due to the fact that the batteries were taken from the back of the cupboard and they had not been used, the battery life had been drained out. To over come this we went out the following weekend and did our shots. Now when ever we take batteries and cameras out, we check the batteries are charged, the camera is working and that the tapes still have film to film with.

We found a very nice location and which had great natual lighting, but because we did not have any sort of speakers to play our song and lyrics for our main singer, this later caused us problems with synching the miming of the words to the songs tempo, to make sure we never had the same problem when videoing we made sure that we had planned to bring in some type of output device to make it easier to synchronise our work.

The best product and easiest to carry around was a ipod docking system as it can be plugged in almost anywhere, although if we were to shoot in the woods or in a town then we would use the speakers from a mobile phone.
