Advice on filming outdoors:

• Only do it if the weather permits as you will need specialist equipment to film in inclement weather. So, if it's raining, snowing, sleeting or anything similar, don't film outside.
• If recording audio then follow the advice in the video about audio: use a clip-mic if you can and if not place the mic close to the subject speaking; use the wind filter on your mic; don't face the direction wind is coming from, instead put the speakers back to it or put something next to the speaker that acts as a wind break; if you can then record audio separately using an audio recorder and clip-mic, always remember to create a sync point if you do; and most importantly, always do a sound check before recording, so you know the audio being recorded is good.
• Bring a battery pack so you can charge up your equipment, if you don't have one then make sure everything is charged before leaving and bring spares.
• For lighting follow the advice in the lighting video about using the available light sources, a reflector can be very useful for outdoor filming, so get one or make one if you can. The sun is a huge light source and can be utilised effectively, even on a cloudy day.
• Lastly, be safe. Make sure you aren't doing anything dangerous just to get that perfect shot, make sure your equipment is safe when using it and safely packed away when not and make sure you have the proper protective and personal equipment for the environment you will be in.
