For our film, we decided we wanted to use a Go Pro, because it give us different angles that we could potentially use. The main one was a POV (point of view) from the dog while running or just a general walk, so we could have a shot that took us more into him. The other plan was using it in on Danny Hewitt during a training session where a dog attacks him as if he was a "bad guy." We wanted to have that shot from two different angles. One where I recorded with our XDCAM in a wide shot of the action and the other one on the Go Pro, where we could see from Danny's POV the moment the dog attacked him. Here is the outcome of that try:

Another point that I discussed with our teacher Helen Curston, was the safety and the use of the Go Pro. What are the chances of it getting damaged? Is it really worth it? Where are we going to put it and how? All of these scenarios where evaluated by us and he did research on it comparing to other people that had already used a Go Pro on dogs to give us an idea of how to use it properly. The Go Pro is safe under water, can take hits and is not a danger for dogs. The only risk we found, was that it could get scratch if a dog bite it, which is why we always controlled where to put it and make sure the dogs were trained properly so they did't bite it. Here is our video research on Go Pro's on dogs:
