Hartshill Hayes is a public area so we had to abide by the safety regulations in the PDF's Paula sent us. Those in the video had to sign consent forms show below. This was to avoid legal action. We were also informed that normally we would have to provide a fee of £60 an hour for filming promotional footage on this land, but we were exempt since we are students and we were doing work for the council.
Filming had to take place on sunny days to get the best possible footage. The downside to this is that there were more people in the Hayes at these times. We had to make sure we were not causing obstructions with our equipment, while also making sure we were not in remote enough places to have our equipment stolen. We worked around this well as we had three members in the team, so we always had one person with the equipment at any given time.
The Tamron lens is very large, we had to be careful with this, as without proper support it can break. We had to always have someone holding on to the large end of the lens, and also make sure the tripod was always secure.
