We said Hi to the Police

As mentioned, we had a run in with an authority officer whilst filming outside Liberty Park during our first film. We gave her our details and she basically explained that it was so they could tell anyone who called them if they were suspicious that they knew about our activity and it had been acknowledged by a police officer as safe and not intending to cause unrest. I asked for the officer's details in the back of my flipbook.

When we found out we had no battery and summarized we had to let it charge for over an hour, and waste filming time, the group became a little restless. I composed a makeshift storyboard sketch in agreement with the rest of the group so that we knew what we would be filming, from which angle, and roughly how long it would last, so that we could cut back on how many takes we do and how much battery we waste. This meant we could get the filming done and get the footage we need quicker and more efficiently, rather than arrive at the scene, think of the storyboard and then start thinking of ideas that might be cool. I put the focus on what we needed to get done, not what we thought would be a good idea that we could use.
