On our test shoot we had lot of fun and got a lot done. Here are some behind the scenes pictures/video:

| Filming one of our shots |
I really enjoyed the test shoot as we got everything done (to varying degrees of success) and finished on time. However, we had lots of things that went wrong which we had to work around. For example, we were filming at Bowyer's Water and it suddenly began to rain so we had to take shelter under trees until it stopped. When we arrived at the home shooting location the main fuse in the house blew and we had no power. We had to quickly try and get all the shots done we could in the fading natural light!
I believe that the test shoot will be very helpful for our main shoot and our overall project as we now know how and where to film all of our shots which will save time in the main shoot. We found areas that could be improved (e.g. the tone of the voice over) which we can correct for the main shoot.
I really enjoyed the test shoot and I improved my filming skills by trying out different versions of some shots. I also used the clapper-board a lot as I used my organisational skills to make sure that we stayed on time and got enough successful takes.
