Documentary unit: Go Pro Danny Test

In order to plan for the go pro filming, we asked the centre if we could do a test shot with Danny. We wanted to see which location would be best for the Go Pro and decided to try out a set up with the Go Pro on his Chest.
Here is the set up:

We wanted to see if it would be a better shot in terms of the angle than from the head mount. Here is the test footage from this angle:

As you can see the footage is fairly good until the dog latches and then the movement from the camera is too poor quality for us to use. From this test we have decided to use the head mount on the proper shoot and make sure that our other camera which is also recording is not in the go pro shot although this can be cropped in post if there are time constraints etc.

Overall i am pleased we did a test shoot so we could see what the footage was like and whether or not to place the camera in a different area. If we had not done this most of the footage we had would have been unusable if we had only placed the camera in this location.

Stay safe,

Helen
