Now we knew what direction to go in, Ruby and I went out on another shoot to gather some urban-based footage we could juxtapose with our countryside shots. This time we used an A1 (I had it to hand because I'd borrowed it from stores for a corporate project) which is smaller and lighter than a PD170. Personally I quite like this camera, but it has a massive flaw; it only has one speed of zoom (or so I could gather). I don't like that at all, I prefer to control how fast my camera zooms in (even my little mini camcorder has different speeds of zoom).
We shot some footage of cars going past, which was pretty dangerous; we stayed on the traffic islands but the cars and vans got very close to us. We tried to collect footage that would have a sharp contrast with our other shots, and since we were now making an experimental film, I tried to use interesting angles and did some focus pulling.
