Today we got on the bus to the town centre and walked to a remote seaside location. Due to the fact it was getting increasingly dark, again speed was of the essence. Shots required were:

2)   Mid Shot – Female character approaching sea wall stairs.

3)   Very Wide Shot – Female character walking up to the sea wall.

4)    Mid Shot – Female Character looking over sea wall.

In the best interest of the technology and its value we made a make shift, neck strap for the camera so when filming the over the edge shots we didn't drop it! We managed to film all of the shots required and it took us about an hour and a half, Sabrina when filming for a shot, fell awkwardly on her ankle and she may have to go to A&E to get it checked out, but all in all a successful trip.
