When recording our promotional video we have to be aware of the weather. This is because when we are not recording in the studio, we would prefer not to have overcast. Overcast can make the video look grey, dark and horrible.

Applying Freud Theory
Shaun of the dead
In this scene, Shaun is telling Ed the plan of what they're going to do but as soon as he mentions superego Liz, Ed the Id doesn't like the sound of the plan. He reacts by telling ego, Shaun that he doesn't want to stay at Liz's because he wants to be somewhere familiar (which we could all understand), but then he goes on about smoking, which is obviously bad for you and of course it's bad which means Liz does not approve.
So Shaun goes on to change his plan which seems to suit Ed more as he can drink and smoke whilst being in a familiar surrounding.
However, towards the end of the clip the news is on and the reporter is telling people to remain inside, but of course Ed turns to Shaun and says "Do you believe everything you hear on TV?"
Throughout the film the Freud theory is shot very clearly. For example Liz has clean clothes on at the start and you can clearly see she looks after herself whereas at the start you see Ed scruffy and not caring how he looks. Shaun however is in between them both. He has a shirt on with a tie, although it seems to appear that he slept in them clothes from the day before, but he also goes out not caring about his hair or that his shirt is a bit dirty and not tucked in.
Ego - Shaun
Superego - Liz
Id - Ed
Ed would be in the 'Id' within this movie as he is a lazy character who is carefree and doesn't see the consequences of his actions.
Shaun would be the ego as he is in the middle of two strong people with big personalities (Devil and the angel). He is constantly getting pulled between the two, right and wrong.
Liz is the superego, as she is very much the voice of reason and will make you aware of what is right and what is wrong. She will also tell you the consequences of the actions you're willing to take. Although roommate Pete can also be conveyed to be the superego as he likes rules and is sensible unlike Ed, the Id. As Pete would be seen as the angel and Ed as the devil, they clearly do not get along with one another.

Health & Safety - Promotional Video
The main health and safety issues -
Recording around college in peak times:
Break time, lunch time and lesson cross overs are all busy times to record around college so we would have to avoid these times to prevent someone tripping over equipment we may be using.
Recording in the HNC room:
People can sometimes get silly on camera so we would have to be careful that no one is silly enough to hurt themselves when recording in the HNC room.
Don't trip up the stairs
Be aware of your surroundings

Steadicam research
Things that I have learnt -
Grip is important. Make less contact with the stabiliser as it will mimic your body movements. Keep feet heel to toe, no crazy sudden movements. Gently tap the system to keep it steady. When using the steadicam ensure when changing shots from upright to downwards, move the steadicam by the bottom, not in the middle or at the top.
Top tips:
If you remove your camera from the stabiliser you will have to rebalance it. TIP - Mark their settings on the system.
If you zoom in or out you will have to rebalance. Keep lens at perfect setting!!
Perfectly balanced. Drop time of 1.5 - 2 seconds.
Right handed = hold the whole system with your right hand and arm. This way the left hand is now the operating hand. Thumb and forefinger opposite each other around the post. All other fingers slightly go below the forefinger. The forefinger cannot be too close to the gimbal.
Never bend your knees as it is not stable.
When recording - Start with the glidecam then follow. Stop as normal, not with two feet. Do not walk sideways, point the camera to where you want to record.
