Filming the PSA - Women's safety

In today's lesson we began to film our PSA. Due to unforseen circumstances I did not attend the lesson previously, however my group quickly and efficiently filled me in on the story board and what I had missed in the lesson.
We got to filming, and our first job was to find the characters, we got our main characters, (3 girls and 1 boy) and began filming behind the back of the school.
The original plan was to film at a pub, however due to the time schedules it is difficult to be able to get to the pub, film, and get back in under an hour.
We began filming our first few shots, and these went really well. The weather outside was ideal because it was not windy, therefore the sound was not distorted and there were no distractions.
We managed to shoot about 13/14 clips and it went really well. We will be finishing them next lesson and then beginning to edit them again on iMovie - I found this lesson gave me more confidence in filming because it enabled me to get used to a different surrounding for filming and learn how to film in the appropriate shading/lighting due to the sunshine.
I also felt more confident in filming because after watching my filming afterwards, espcially the panning, I felt that it looked quite good in comparison with the other times I have filmed.
