Progression

When we started coming up with our ideas and begun to film , I thought creating a two minute opening was going to be straight forward. During production, we faced many implications such as availability of our group and of actors, time, setting and equipment. Availability was one of our major issues when filming as even though we had to change our plans or make days free, there was always one day that not everyone could attend due to whatever reason. However, if one person out of the group couldn't attend, the rest of the group would still go ahead and film as much as they could without that person. Another issue we faced was setting. This is because is out opening was filmed in Laurens house which wasn't very convenient as it isn't very near to us and every time we went to film something had changed in it. However, I'm glad we did film in her house as the setting is perfect for our opening, and even though things changed it was never difficult to put back how we needed it to be. Equipment was an issue throughout production as cameras and tripods weren't available when we needed them. Also, during one day of filming we found the camera we were using ran out of battery because the group that previously used it didn't charge it back up again. We have learnt from this to always check our equipment is charged and working properly before using it and to get it as soon as possible so not to miss out if it becomes unavailable. Overall I think we have made great progression as a group because we have dealt with every problem that has occurred and stuck to our original plan with a few exceptional changes.
