Benefits-
The benifits of having somehwere like Beacon to go to were that it basically had everything for me to use. When abby had gone over to pick up filming gear the first time, she got everything we needed! We didn't think it was possible to acquire such gear but we got it! It made things much easier by having what we needed right by our side. We got a very useful camera, a tripod, lighting that changed colors and really changed the mood on the scene, microphones to have a clear understanding of what was being recorded, and clear instructions on how to use them. Without beacon we would have been suing our phones, which probably have terrible quality if you ask me, haha. We saw past films and really saw how these films were...not the best. So we are very happy that we got to have opportunity some groups over the year could not.
Struggles-
The small benefits seriously made up for the many struggles with the gear. We mainly encountered the issue of getting the gear, since the place is so far (Davie) and we all live in Miramar getting the gear felt like a chore! So abby got it first, then i did for the second time and when my mom heard hwo far she had to drive she was not happy. Another issue was converting the vidoes, as the director and editior I had to rely on Abby to convert the videos into her phone since she had her own converter. So I had to wait and rely on her for that. Which was painful when we were on a time crunch. The last was the renting of the gear, we had to rent the gear which we had a time limit of only a week and if we broke any of the VERY PROFESSIONAL GEAR we had to pay! Which was scary thinking the gear was being used by the whole group so the gear was going into multiple hands of people. Overall though, still a worth it experience.
