Review Of Filming

When we were filming we had encountered several problems and issues. The first issue that we had encountered when filming was that of a change in cast. This being where the original people who had been cast in our film and had agreed to film with us were no longer able to film with us, as they had other work to do. This meant we had to change who was playing each of our characters and find new people to play them. Even though we had managed to new people to film for our piece, it still took some time that could have been instead used for filming our piece. To avoid this next time we have to make sure that all of the people who agree to film stick by that agreement so we could film on schedule.

Another issue that we had encountered when filming was the locations of the filming. As we had used classrooms for filming we was not sure that next time we went to film the same classroom would be available. So when we filmed we found out that one of the classrooms we needed for filming had a class in it and was unavailable for our use. With this we had to not film the shots that were needed for that classroom and go film something different. To improve this if we did it again we should have selected a classroom that would available when we had lessons when we were filming and should have checked on timetables to see its availability.

A final problem we encountered when filming was the costumes of the characters. We had all decided what costumes our characters were going to wear, but the problem was that when it came to our next filming sessions one of the characters had forgotten that we were meant to be filming that day and did not wear the same outfit as the last time we had filmed. This meant that we could not do any filming that included that character as they did not have the same costume or hairstyle as the previous filming time. To try and avoid this issue the next time, we should have informed our cast the night prior to filming so they knew the next morning they needed to wear the same outfit and hairstyle, so we could continue filming with anymore costume related issues.
