Camera - test footage

As advised by Mr. Earl, we have undertook the idea of shooting some test footage to try out and see what our idea will look. At the beginning of today's lesson, i volunteered to book out a camera so Emily and I can go out on the sights we think are suitable for the type of movie we are shooting (such as the race track) and start doing some test footage. Unfortunetly the teacher that we needed to get a camera from was unavailable, and when i got back to my classroom, i was told by Rob that in order to get a camera, i would need to do at least 24 hours of notice; Knowing this, i will go to Mrs. Gibson tomorrow and ask for a camera and tripod for monday's lesson. Teh camera to take some test footage, we will do various shots from various angle and different settings; we will try hand held footage to see if it's as effective as we think it will be, and use the tripod to obtain maximum balance. I will also charge and bring my own camera in case something goes wrong with the camera we want from the school.
