Based upon our intention, I feel that the Edale shoot was successful. We gathered a large proportion of footage, which has allowed us slightly more options in the edit, while leaving enough time to ensure the quality of our shots.
The style of shooting was informed by both the perspective of a character whose main action was walking through the village; we used mostly handheld shots. In retrospect, we could have used a tripod for a few more shots, as some of our footage is somewhat shaky. However, in our planning we anticipated this, and allowed ourselves freedom to keep a loose camera in the knowledge that we could slightly stabilise it in post-production.
Some of the most successful shots were the macro shots we took throughout the day; the shallow depth of field afforded by our choice of camera (an HDSLR) gave a particular beauty to the details of various subjects.
Less successful, though, were some of the handheld shots, which were somewhat shaky. As aforementioned we have planned to use some image stabilisation in post, but it has become more difficult due to the particularly unstable nature of some footage.
