Difficulties and how we overcame them
After looking over our film, we decided that the footage didn't really fit very well in the thriller genre. We thought that the narrative was quite good, just the beginning featured too much dialogue and too little shots. After thoroughly analyzing our work, and getting other to do the same, we decided to scrap the opening scene, and also add a lot more different angles for the 'new' opening.
The next difficulty we stumbled across was the fact that none of us fitted the character requirements. To overcome this issue, we found an older volunteer who fitted the criteria almost perfectly. Our only issue with our new found actor, was he was a little bit amateur. After quite a few shots, we finally got it perfect!
Location was difficult for the opening scene. We needed complete darkness, ideally. Due to the fact it was during day time, this was next to impossible to achieve. To overcome this, we are going to have to alter the filters, making the scene darker in places, but where light is needed, keep it the same. The only issue that may occur from this is the fact it may not look very realistic. Hopefully we can edit it well enough to save it, and make it look good.
Finally, the SD came along to be our worst enemy! As a group we made a completely awful mistake being putting the wrong SD card into the camera, meaning we have had to get it all fixed, and the program to be changed over, which had to be done by a proffessional. This process can take a long time, as it is a complex task! This means for the remainder of our time, we could not edit ot do anything to our footage, meaning a lot of time was wasted. Time has been a massive problem for us, in the sense that we are not very good at managing the time wisely.
