We learnt a few things from the trip such as getting used to filming in an urban environment where there are many more people around. This was very different to our Wilderness Woods reccie at AS which was much more rural and had very few people. Since we are thinking about using a sub-urban location, this reccie was very beneficial as it gave us the experience of having to deal with the problems that a more urban environment possess. In addition, the very fact that we were out filming meant that we were thinking creatively on our feet and as a result we were able to gain an idea of the types of shots we would like to recreate for our music video. The shot list we were given that we had to complete gave us the initial ideas for shots and we were able use these as starting points to see which types of specific shots we were able to think up. Finally, the reccie also gave us experience in having to deal with a deadline. Having to complete the list of shots by a certain time, we were having to think on our feet to come up with creative shots and find the different locations around Brighton before the deadline.
The problems we faced from the trip were mainly having to keep to the dealine, as we kept coming up with new ideas for shots as we were making our way back. In order to overcome that particualr problem, however, we simply had to be ruthless with what shots we definitely wanted to try and those which we did not. In addition, at one stage we were struggling to find a suitable interior location as many of the locations we found were small cafes with not much room to film. This was only a problem until we managed to find a shop which did not have many customers and luckily, the owner alowed us to film.
