Driving to my location

06/08
Here is a video that I took this morning whilst driving down to my location, Clacton-on-Sea.

I've chosen to spend some time here before I revisit with my models to shoot my music video to film the footage which they're not needed in (ie establishing shots, sunrises/sunsets, weather shots, etc.) By doing this I can focus more on my models when shooting their scenes as due to busy schedules, I only have 2 days with them to film all the footage that takes place in Clacton.

Here I've attempted to film some of the shots which I plan to use during the beginning of my video where they are travelling to Clacton. 

At first I held the camera free hand, however the footage was much too jumpy. 

I found although not completely steady, the footage was to a much more professional standard when using the tripod.

Here I was filming some footage of people walking in and out of the pier for during the point of view "home video" part of my music video. To achieve this I filmed with the handheld camera as opposed to using the tripod. 

As I knew sunset was around 8:30pm, I started to look for a nice spot to film it, at about 7pm. Unfortunately the sun would not set by the pier or over the sea, and was setting on the other side of the town. I found a nice field and began to film, however it was too cloudy and the sun couldn't be seen very clearly, so I will have to try again another time, or think of an alternative.
