For this shoot, we went to Barrow Down beach, which was a fair drive away since most of the beaches in the area are stone beaches that cannot be driven on. We chose this beach because you can drive on it and it has a good mixture of rocks going into the sea, sandy beaches and old staircases to use that are needed for various shots. The reason we wanted a beach we could drive on is that we needed to use tracking shots using the car and having jack sitting in the open boot with a camera while I drive slowly.
We needed Emma again for this one and we asked her to dress in the same casual and carefree manner, but she would need clothes and shoes she would be comfortable running with.
A few problems we were faced with is the fact that there were a few clouds and we needed sunshine for many of our shots, so we had to wait for a few minutes between shots to get the sunshine. Furthermore we got the glare from the sun in the camera so we had to angle our shots so we didn't get any lines down our shots or effect we didn't want. During the tracking shot of Emma running it was also quite difficult to keep the camera steady with all of the bump in the beach, so we took the shot multiple times and chose the steadiest.
