Problems with our filming

On the 24th of February (the first whole day back from our geography field trip) we had planned to make a start on our filming. At first, we were pleased with the process we had made, as we were happy with how the camera angles and scenes were looking. However, half way through our filming, the weather decided to turn against us and started to rain quite heavily. Obviously, this caused many problems as half of our opening sequence had bright but cloudy scenes, and the rest the lighting was dark and raining. We discussed as a group that there was no way we could include a scene to show the start of rainfall, therefore decided to leave the filming for one day and to carry on with this the next day. In the long run this worked out better for us anyway as our HD camera ran out of battery too.

On the 25th of February, we carried on to film the rest of our opening sequence which appeared to be a success. As soon as we got back to school on the 28th of February we uploaded our sequences onto the computer to find that the beginning of our opening sequence had disappeared. This clearly frustrated all of us as we had given up a lot of our time to plan and film this sequence, especially myself, because I also had to clear my house (and the people in side) in order to film.

We once again discussed what we should do as a group and concluded that myself and Tyra (as well as our actress) should re shoot the parts that disappeared as soon as possible. We used our time wisely by using our free periods and lunch times in order to do this. Myself and Tyra finished in time so we could upload and start to edit before the weekend.
