Problems We Have Faced...

-Our group has met up to film a few times now and everytime it has been quite dark, this has posed a problem for us as the quality of the scenes haven't been great. We tried to use torches and other lights around our locations, but this didn't make much of a difference, and so we have now altered some of our plans, and are going to film the majority of our opening sequence during the day time. We will then be able to edit the scenes and make them darker to look as though they haven't been filmed in broad day light, but still have a good quality to them.

-We have also found it hard trying to keep in mind that we are only filming the opening sequence as we have so many good ideas for the rest of the film - especially the ending! We have to keep reminding ourselves that it is only 2mins 30secs and that we cannot reveal too much about the storyline and characters.

-Next to our location is a road and we have tended to film during rush hour which has also affected our filming as the camera that we are using picks up sound quite easily, and so we have to make sure that there are as few cars around as possible when filming, especially the scenes with dialogue and diagetic sound.

-After uploading all of the content that we had filmed, we realised that we couldn't use much of it, and so we decided to re-film everything again. We knew that our deadline was in 5 days, and so we were determined to get all of the filming done in the one afternoon, and then we were going to upload and edit in the next few days. We ended up getting all of the filming done in a few hours, whilst it was still quite light, and we uploaded all of the stuff we filmed the next day. We then edited and managed to get the whole thing put together and finished in time for our deadline which we were quite proud of.
