Second attempt at capturing video.. Success

Right, this time the battery was fully charged and ready to go. I attatched the camera to the dashboard of my friends car using blutac and celotape to make sure it held firmly in place and didnt slip at any point in the journey.

I decided to draw out each direction i needed to get video footage of on a piece of paper, so I didnt miss out any footage that I need for the project. I took this piece of paper out with me.

I pressed record and started the journey. The video was captured in the order:

Millhouse Stores (Dymchurch) --> Hythe --> New Romney --> Littlestone --> Millhouse Stores.

I will later edit the footage and speed up certain parts so users of the tour will not have to watch long pieces of video without any interaction.

There was a bit of a problem with video I captured, on certain parts of the journey the sunlight was reflecting onto windscreen and onto the lens of the recording equipment. If I had more time left on the project I would re-shoot the whole video on a more cloudy day but I really need to start editing and creating so am going to proceed with what I have.
