Evaluation Of Production stage

Throughout the last few weeks. We have were filming our short film. However, we en-counted a few problems. The main problem is that we now have to use the majority of the footage we had filmed as our test shoots. Therefore we now have two test shoots instead of one. The main problem that we en-counted was scheduling. Our main cast member, Rhian, who we had cast as Hallie, was not available during our original shooting schedule that we had set. This was because she had gone away for the half term. This set us back and meant that we would then have to film on weekends and after school. However, we then found the problem was that due to the season change we couldn't film all of shots for our film. This was because it became darker around cpm.

Another problem was the fact that during our film test shoot. Rhian's hair was Blonde and her costume was different. This also caused a problem the second time around because it meant that we couldn't use the shots that she was in due to the change in hair color and hairstyle. After re-filming after our first test shoot, Payal was cast as Hallie. This was because we could not find anyone we felt best suited the part of Claire for the film. The second time around, I was cast as Hallie but we found that the shot types we used in the first test shoot did not work as well as we thought that they would. So we then decided to keep the original casting as we had had in the first test shoot. What we had then found during the second test shoot was when the footage was uploaded, some of the shots were running faster than others. The problem couldn't be solved so we then had to re-shoot for the final time.

We are now currently at the last stage of filming. We have approximately 3 more scenes to do. Hopefully within the next week, we should have all the shots for our film.
