Filming

           One of the main complications during term time with a project like this is trying to get all members of the group together for something as vital as filming. As we only had two characters in the video (one of them being myself) the actors were not really a difficulty and we soon realised that having everyone in the group present was not really a necessity and wasn't very realistic. However, we did make sure all members of the group were well informed regarding what was being filmed at which time (helped by the shooting schedule) and this allowed everyone to be up to date with what still needed to be done. 
           We managed to get the majority of the filming done over two weeks which allowed us plenty of time for editing. We were really quite efficient when filming making sure we didn't have to revisit locations more than once however this did add more confusion having to film things out of order. We had some other issues with strong winds when trying to create smooth pans, this was also not helped by a poor quality moving image tripod. 
          Other than this there were very few big issues and I think we were overall very successful, this was partly due to following the tip of shooting far more than we actually needed which allowed us to make the editing process a lot smoother.
