Before the second shoot day, we had a discussion about what was missing and needed to be filmed in preparation for the day. We revised our shot list and sorted out what we hadn't managed to achieve so that we wouldn't forget about anything. The main thing was the flying shots of one of the vultures. In order to make it look like a real bird documentary we felt like we would need some really dynamic shots of some of the birds flying onto or from perches that we could use as cutaways during the interviews or with commentary over to inform the audience more about the birds. When we arrived, we split off into two groups. Ellen and I took a 7D camera and filmed some more gvs of the gardens which we lacked because of the weather on the first shoot. The weather was much sunnier which meant that the colouring of the footage looked so much better. In the meantime, Josh and Laura went off to film the drone footage whilst Laura used her canon for some more action shots. This was successful and we managed to get plenty of footage with good weather. We then were able to watch and film Kayleigh fly Morticia - one of the vultures which was great as we had plenty of time to capture some really nice shots from different angles. We also used the Go-Pro and attached it underneath the perch to capture the flight. This worked very well. Lastly we were able to go back into the Hawking Centre to capture some more action of the birds that live in there which meant that we had plenty of coverage to fit the 10 minute mark. Just before we left we were able to go outside with Julie and watch Irena the bald eagle being trained to fly. This was particularly exciting as we were the first public to see her fly.
