The Problems we had throughout the whole project..

We came across many problems in all areas of our project, fortunately we managed to overcome them all and still complete our product on time before the deadline. To begin with, we always knew it would be difficult getting everyone in our group together at the same time for filming, editing etc. This became a bigger problem than expected in the end though due to having an actress turn out sick throughout the stages of filming, therefore Bea had to stand in on short notice, there were times when Bea couldn't make it due to her other very important comitments, and this made filming difficult for at times. Fortunately we managed to still complete the task due to many sacrifices of group members plans. Another problem with us not being able to find the time where we would all be free was that it meant we would have to book the equipment out on many more occasions, for example it was difficult to get two of our actors together at the same time, therefore we did one actors scene first, and did the others on the other night. We found that this could cause some unrealistic errors in our sequence but we hope we pulled it off ok. If we were to do it all over again, we would make sure we would finish off a scene all in the same night, rather than splitting it up between a number of evenings, doing this, there is more chance of making errors and there being a change in setting or person.

Due to not being able to get many opportunities together in filming, we had to book the equipment out on many occasions, this was a problem as on some occasions the equipment was faulty, for example, we booked out a tripod with a leg missing, this became a big problem, to overcome it we had to use a table.

There were many problems throughout our project, we now know what we would do if we had to do it again, we still believe we did a good job in overcoming our mistakes and problems and hope we pulled it off well.

I will explain more about the problems we came across in my evaluation.
