Yesterday's filming did not go completely to plan as we hoped to get the shots in Jamie Branston's car, however he was busy all day therefore we couldnt film these certain shots. Therefore instead myself and Conor made the most of our free time to film the day time scenes which we needed, which included the establishing shots of hertford/ware, and some interesting shots of the area too. We also managed to shoot the shots which involved the missing person posters which was created.

I arrived in Ware to meet Conor at about 12pm and we drove to Hertford immediately to film. We began by shooting an establishing shot of Matthew's house, however myself and Conor's house's are not good house's to use therefore we used the property of other people.
We then headed down by the Hertford canal to film the area as we wanted to film some natural shots. We considered ourselves to be quite lucky as there was not a lot of noise in the background so the natural noise may work well in our documentary. We also decided to film shots of the boats down the canal and the different aspects of the boats, such as the reflection in the water and different shot types. Whilst we were filming we agreed it would be beneficial to get as many shots as we could therefore we also framed some of the same shots but at different times therefore some had people in the background and some did not, this will give us more options when we are in post-production.

After filming in Hertford we decided to film in Ware. We went to the Cowfields which overlooks some of Ware, therefore we managed to get an establishing shot there. With this in mind we also managed to test out the different settings on the camera therefore with one shot we blurred it and then re-focused it, which we felt was a very well filmed shot.

We then decided to use the rest of our time filming interesting shots which included the missing person posters, this ranged from shots on lamp posts, on cars, and even scrunched up on the floor. I felt we managed to frame some of these shots very well which i was extremely pleased about.

Overall i believe this was our most successful day of filming, we managed to get many shots done and most of these shots we felt were framed well and were interesting.
