Hello again!
So, after my previous attempt of filming my run, and after the steep learning curve using the editing software, and the issues I discovered with my sound, I'm now back with another test video to see if it has better results this time round!
And personally, I think there is an improvement.
Lessons learnt:
1 - I'm holding the camera closer to my face, so obviously the camera can record the sound in more detail
2 - I'm running on quieter roads (most off the time at least!) and I will try to think about my surroundings before pressing the record button
3 - I tried to keep the spoken sections shorter. This helped to keep my words more precise (i.e. less mumbling or rambling)
4 - I also made a concerted effort to speak a little louder and to try to enunciate my words better (again, less mumbling!)
Having less windy conditions than the previous day helped, although I don't really have much control over the weather to be fair. Maybe it is just a case of being aware that the wind could be a factor, and that if it is windy, to try harder to minimize the effect from it with the points above.
I still need to work on my endings though, its still quite abrupt here. Could do with some generic B roll footage to end on or something, or maybe just keep recording a little longer so it doesn't just stop immediately.
As for the run itself... I aimed for a nice and easy 10 miles, and I achieved that.
I mentioned in the film I was going to aim for another one on Wednesday, but due to time constraints I ended up only doing a short 35 min session
ended up getting squeezed into my lunch break, really struggled for time on Wednesday!
Thursday was a little better so I managed another 10 miles down to Navenby and back on Thursday evening. And now its Friday evening, and I'm just quickly creating this post, before heading to bed. Tomorrow (saturday) is gonna be a long day... in the morning will be another long run, hopefully approx 18 miles down to Whisby.
Its another excuse to take the new camera out I guess!
And after the run I have an assortment of chores to work through, and then I'll be off to visit my Dad for a small BBQ, and then we'll be watching Eurovision later on tomorrow evening.
I know, I know, it's a little bit naff, but it will still be a mostly enjoyable evening!!

I’m glad you could learn some lessons and this run filming is better
Honestly, if I was the one who held the phone and even put it close to my face, I might have fallen down😅
A mate of mine has channel, not sure what he’s running but check his videos out I’m never bored watching them and he closes each video well IMO
