 * Rosemary Shoot:**

Positive: Shot everything on shotlist & more Recorded galloping wiht H4 Quick shoot: 15 mins General footage for bumpers/stock footage close to horsre jumping we could ever get All 3 of us were all in sync in regards to shots Good shoot

Challenges: determine coverage shots (W/M/CU) Unexpected shoot, until we arrived from Florida Mic was on mute, but didn’t have to film audio Scot was taking charge of riding pattern, we should of asked him what would be a best route so we direct rider

**Polo Museum:**

Positive: Lots of footage connected with interviewees spilt room shooting direction for shots good audio met president of beach polo scot kept interviewees engaged in conversation conserve battery cuz we plugged into outlets

Challenges: overshot need to set up quicker comunicate better wih scot in regards to making sure all of our questions are answered Practice with our new gear more (Litepanels/Panasonic/Lite Panels) develop silent mannerism amongst filmmaker when theres an audio problem or visual problem while were shooting Time limits, be stricter with alotted time for shooting broll Tlan, need to be a better listener while interview is going notice what interviewee is wearing (dark/light clothes, glasses etc) and choose background that enhances interviewees attire make sure you keep you filming clean, meaning set up a location to leave all of gear

**Pony Match Up:**

Positive: Quick shoot good sky/wide shots of field great soundbites from polo players got close and film polo field (usually your 30 ft away) adapted quickly to match up colors looked greeat diffused light on inteviews positioned polo players against wind

Challenges: a lot of wind sun was really bright total different shoot idea once we arrived develope time to interview folks hesitated to ask people for interviews always have question with you and make sure it gets answered or at least addressed
