Shooting obstacles

One problem we have had along the way is the transporting of the canvases as we need them in school at times and sometimes they are needed out of school which means moving them from place to place which is difficult because they are big and none of us can drive which is another problem. However we can use the cars of parents to move the boards but this will be hard trying to find the time to have their help this therefore will restrict our timings to film. To over come this so far, we have kept the boards at Issys house and will try to film all of the canvas scenes at Issys house as it is only walking distance from the school and closest in the group. This way we can walk to Issys in our frees and after school and can use her garden to film. We plan to do this first time in the afternoon of the 19th October.

Another problem that has occurred a couple of times is the weather. The weather is quite a big factor for our filming because a lot of it will be outside. We have also got to consider the fact that it is Autumn therefore it gets darker quickly so we will have less time to film in the afternoon/evening if we need light. We also need dry and sunny days to get good lighting and if it is raining we will need to re schedule filming which will be an issue we can not control. However, so far we have been really lucky with the weather as it has rained on days we have not wanted to film and has been nice when we want to film.

Capturing a sunrise was a big issue. I had woken up early a couple of times to film the sunrise but both times were not as successful as I wished. The first time was on the way to my work which was convenient but the cloud cover was at the same time as the sun rise which meant the last of the sun rise was difficult to see. The second time I tried to film the sun rise was also a convenient time as I was going to a uni open day therefore I was getting up early. I checked the weather forecast for that morning the night before and it said the clouds shouldn't interfere but when I tried to film the sunrise the clouds were too big therefore I couldn't film as I couldn't even see it myself let alone capture it on camera.

The second week before half term Soraya was going to a wedding in Spain therefore she would be absent that whole week. Because of this it caused a problem as Soraya is the singer in the video therefore we couldn't film anything as we need her. However myself and Issy used this time to create the backgrounds so they are ready to use when Soraya comes back.

One problem we had in half term was that we had forgotten to get a camera and tripod from school to use over the week and weekends. However luckily we had Sorayas camera and tripod that we used which was good as it had good quality, although we may have to consider re-filming if the change is noticeable.
