Documentary Unit - Problem in Day 3 of filming

Day 3 was very different from the other days, because I was not in Kent. I had gone to Bradford to visit a friend and my schedule was made so I could be back on time. I left Bradford at 12:30 and arrived at St Pancras Int. at 4:30 we were meant to start between 5 and 6 and I was getting a train to Brentwood so I could be there by 6 to film the second Cynophobia class. I got stuck at London, because for some absurd reason, the ticket I had bought there, didn't work in the tube to get to Brentwood and neither at the Southeaster train to get to Stratford and then go to Brentwood. By the time I solved it, I realized it would take me about an hour to get there and by the moment I was getting there it was already too late and there was no point anymore on me going. I called my team and we all agreed that it was best for me to go home and that any problem they had with the camera, they could call me and I could advise them. 

We also didn't have a clip mic that day because another student needed it and was taking away from us and neither we had a tripod since apparently another group had taken two. When I got the footage I realised that some clips were a bit shaky which we couldn't use and the interview of Roy was of very low quality audio compared to the other interviews we had already. This led us to going back another day to re shoot his interview, taking into account that we wanted good quality audio for all of them.
