Filming on the 10/10/10

We scheduled to film a list of shots at the weekend. There was a problem with the camera as it was filming, because there was no playback. We decided to carry on with the filming and hope that it was just the playback that was not working, as the recording was still working as normal.

Once we had finished all of the shots which included the night time scenes and footage for the montage, we called it a day and were happy with what we thought we had filmed.

At school on Wednesday we tried to capture our footage that we had taken, only to find that it hadn't been recorded - which we thought might be the case.

The tape heads inside the camera were dirty which caused it to not capture. If we had known this before we could have cleaned the tape heads and our filming would have been successful.

We have decided to take this as a learning curve for our media skills, and we now know to check to see if the camera films and plays back before we film again.
