Second Shoot Plan
Plan: The plan for this shoot is the same as the previous shoot since I was able to produce the clips I needed. For the shoot I plan to get a series of moving image clips at Drusillas Zoo of various different animals there. The design of the displays I am intending to use will require my clips to be portrait (or atleast cropped down landscape). My ISO will need to be an average of 400, my F.stop around 6 to achieve the depth of field and my shutterspeed around 800 to prevent motion blur. These setting will be weather/lighting dependent but they are the general average I will need to use. For relevance to the project, I will also try to take clips of animals who are from the amazon rainforest or other rainforest areas at risk. The one change from the previous shoot will be not using the 18-55 lens as I will not be able to get close enough to the animals for its use to prove effective with this shoot taking place outside each enclosure rather than inside.
Equipment: Camera, Tripod, Waterproofing, Zoom Lens (70-300) Premiere & After Effects (post production) Health and Safety: Wet weather will require waterproofing for both the camera and photographer (me). Keep all equipment outside the animal enclosures when not in use. Equipment only used in enclosures when permitted. |

Shoot Evaluation
I have successfully taken several more clips learning from the previous shoot on how to get them. Specifically, I learnt to stand close to the tripod to protect it from wind, preventing camera shaking. I also timed the second shoot with a brief patch of sunny autumn weather, allowing for better lighting in the enclosures.
However, were I to repeat this shoot in future, I would try to bring my own lighting when possible as relying on the weather proved very inefficient, especially with the winter weather and lack of sunlight. This would allow me much more control over the quality of lighting for the images, however, I would have to prevent the reflection the lighting would cause on the glass.
