Filming- Good and bad

When I was out shooting for my video I went out numerous times to get more footage. The main problem with this was that the first time I went out it was really sunny so was able to stay out for a while not worrying about if it was going to rain. The sun was also a problem though because when I was doing scenic shots it was reflecting on the water and was washing out everything else. The second time I went to go out filming the weather was the opposite and was grey and rainy so the quality and lighting is going to vary. Another good thing was the places I went filming were quiet so there was no distractions and this made filming easier as there was no one round that could cause a problem. It was windy though around the sea so when I was filming handheld it made it difficult because it was hard to keep the camera still.
