Progression update

So far, we have had a few troubles with our filming but we have done our best to overcome this.

At first the camera had a few faults, we found that the tape wouldn't go down once put into place. We found a way to deal with this by looking up a solution on the internet.

Time has also been abit of a problem. As the three of us live very far apart it was hard to arrange a time that was convieniant for all three of us and well as arranging appropriate transport.

We also found it hard to find a male to play the boyfriend that could be there at the times we were filming. Although we shot a few scenes with Fraser Stannage, these shots had to be re-filmed with a new idea put into place. Instead of Abigail's boyfriend coming to see her, Abigail's best friend now comes for Abigail's birthday meal. This would also make it easier when changing the idea of smashing a wine bottle to dropping some flowers. Our reasons behind changing this idea were mainly due to health and safety. We felt that the glass would shatter to much and may cause an injury to either the actor dropping it or the person filming. This also helps when filming because we can drop the flowers as many times as we have to, unlike the wine bottle which would have had to be filmed in one take.

Another problem that we had to face was with editing. A format error came up when we were trying to capture our tape. We found a way around this by capturing it in a slightly different way.

Although we have found it a challenge to overcome these problems and changing a lot of our ideas we feel it will benefit us a lot when it comes to the final product.
