Filming Issues...

I thought that filming part of our preliminary task would be easy. Just film what we needed and that was it. I didn't realise how many problems we would encounter...

The main problem our group encountered was the continuity of our piece. People in our group forgot to wear the same clothing which meant we couldn't film on certain days. If the clothing changed from shot to shot, the continuity would be disrupted and the piece wouldn't be realistic.

Another issue was when our teacher was out on a school trip. He accidently took the keys for the camera cupboard with him. After searching all over the place for them, we realised we couldn't film. An entire hour of filming was lost. We couldn't edit either as the footage was still on the camera.

When we finally got into the cupboard, we attempted to put the footage onto the computer. Upon putting the SD card into the computer, we discovered that the film was gone. Whether it was deleted or the SD cards were swapped, we will never know.

We have to make up for lost time and missing footage, so we better get filming...
