PROBLEMS WHEN FILMING:

Throughout our filming we came across some problems. To start off with, the day before we were due to film we found out our original actor Henry, couldn’t act the next day due to a meeting he had to go in for work. We swiftly sorted out this first problem and replaced him with a friend of mine. The next day a couple hours before we were due to film, my friend called me up and explained he had been asked by his boss to go race, as he is a jockey, he couldn’t say no to his boss as its his job. Millie and I were left frantically ringing everyone and anyone up to see if they would play the part of the Husband. We managed to find a friend in school, Ollie Lavis, who thankfully agreed to play the part, and went home and grabbed a suit, and actually fitted the part perfectly. LIFE SAVER. He took the filming seriously and did a great job acting. He asked if his friend, Sam Flippance could come too for moral support. As he was doing us the biggest favour, we agreed. Sam ended up being a smart part in the filming. Which worked out well in the end. 

As if we had been stressed out enough, my camera which we had been taking test shots on, and was planning on using to film everything on, decided to die on us. Luckily I had my iPhone which filmed everything in great quality, but we had to film everything hand held as neither Millie or myself had access to a tripod. This turned out for the best as well, because we shot it in a documentary style. This is because of the story line being so strong and emotionally touching, we wanted to make it look as realistic as possible. Just to add to our joyous problems, my battery was very low, which meant we had to a lot of stop and starting to let my phone charge. 

Due to Ollie being a last minute replacement he didn't have time to learn the lines we wrote for his character, so we had to change his lines slightly and make them short so he could memorise them as quick as possible. He did a great job regardless to this. 

In one media lesson, we turned excited to start editing what we had filmed, for some reason the school computers refused to recognise my phone was plugged in, even though my phone was showing it was connected. We went to the IT technicians but they were on their lunch break. So we had to wait to get home to get onto my computer to edit what we had filmed. No good luck for us! 

The problem was as Sam was only meant to be their for moral support, we had no costume prepared for him, so we had to work with what we had to make him look as smart as possible, playing a priest at a wedding. When we went through the film we noticed Sam’s socks were clearly noticeable as we asked him to take off this shoes as they were trainers and therefore didn't seem suitable for a priest to be wearing. Compared to the other problems we experienced, this one seemed very little.
