First day of filming

Apart from having to much footage, the filming its self went without mishaps which has left me very relieved after my initial fear of using my College's expensive new HD camera's. However i did encounter a few issues with managing with all the equipment, due to being in a group of only myself rather than 4 people. I planned to film a pan going across the room, during the part of the video where i 'flickered' the two lights, this was impossible as i needed one hand per light controlling the switches leaving me unable to manage the camera. As a result i am going to have to manipulate my footage in final cut pro and edit in pans/zooms that i was unable to otherwise film.
