Tuesday 9th Feb.

Today, Tom and i planned to do our test footage at Newmarket scrap yard, and Milton dump. However, Tom was unable to come in today, due to illness, and as we needed his car to get to or locations, this has left me at a bit of a loose end today, as i can't get to either of our locations to shoot our test footage.

This means we will have to most probably to this on Thursday morning if we have enough time, though this may step into our own time if we don't get the test footage completed by the end of the day.

With Tom being ill again yesterday as well I was unable to get in contact with the construction site manager at Milton. Therefore we still have no permission to film in the Milton dump, which may be a bit of a problem.
Tom and I really need to work on our organisation, as if we both had the manager's number, we would know whether or not we had the permission to shoot at the dump. This is something we will need to talk about when Tom recovers and comes back into college.

Instead this afternoon, I intend to create our shot list, and think further about our video, and think about how Tom and i can incorporate some cut-aways in our video, and how they will fit into our video, as Steve yesterday asking about how our cut-away idea's may not fit into the theme of our video, with it based around a 'glamorous quirky' girl who sort of lives at a scrap yard.

I have spoken to Tom today, and he has suggested he can take photo's of Hannah (our performer) in the costumes and he will blog these when he gets the chance. And also write a letter to the Milton Dump and Newmarket scrap yard for permission to shoot at these locations.

After a bit of a rocky start this morning, and unfortunately not getting to do the tasks intended. We have managed to get together a clear idea for a new plan for this afternoon, basically swapping today's original plan with Thursdays plan, and doing our test footage on Thursday instead, and perhaps on Friday morning too, and get them edited and all on our blogs by the end of Friday's lesson.

I am happy that, although today hasn't gone to plan, we have managed not to fall behind by readjusting and swapping our plans around.
