Production Report for Day 2 of Filming - 5th Nov 2008

Today's shoot was a little rush at first because we had to go to RP to get the equipments. As I sent the equipments 1 day too late on Friday. Forgot about WORKING DAYs Silly me. So we went to pick up our equipments and loaned it up to Monday as we also have filming on Saturday. We arrived at RDA at around 10am. Session was already going on at that time. Lighting was getting dark. So Richard, the session co-ordinator switched on the light for us in the arena. Second session did not start until 10.30am or so.

Due the set up of the arena. I felt that it was not so safe for the crew to go into the arena.

Working with this session...we interviewed Susan K (Staff instructor) and Jennie (Volunteer Instructor). Interview went very well. They talked about the rewards of volunteering, the progress that one can make volunteering in the RDA as well as a lot of issues that can be part of the sponsorship video as well. Example of what they said were things that people can do for the RDA that is not physical. So some of them would be to be involved in other RDA events and what is the benefit of joining RDA as a sponsor. These questions were planned to be possed for next week.

The shots that were took: Beneficery mounting horse via ramp. Shots of horses trotting and the horse riding session.

Report on equipment, according to Jason, he says that tripod was a little jerky and panning could not be smooth.

The clients shot today were from MINDS. The staff from MINDS that were from there told us that 2 of them were not given permission to be filmed and therefore would need to be removed from our film. this is also another concern to discuss with Serene soon.

Shot to be filmed: the story, reflection walk, horse galloping and having fun. Interview with board members and coach would be on the week of the 10th-15th of November as they would be available by then.

What could be improved on in today's shot would be time managment and better preparation for shoots.

We would continue filming on the 8th of November and report at 8.15am at RDA to prepare. We would also be having breakfast at a Mac at 7.25am also discuss about our shot as well.
