problem after problem


This coursework is starting to get harder and I am falling further and further behind. After having repeated problems of various sorts with filming, I completely restarted my zombie film not once but twice.

First film
With the first film, we had issues getting actors at filming dates and actors in general. When we did get actors available, weather often became a problem.

Second film.
With all the problems with the first film and knowing I was getting closer to my deadline, I came up with a new idea, one that only required 2 actors, could be filmed inside and could be done all in one day. However after getting all the filming done, I found the shots were poor and there simply wasn’t enough.

Third film.
As it stands the third film is good. The shots in my own opinion were fantastic. However I found afterwards that there wasn’t enough. I was granted a second day to film to finish getting what I needed. However due to poor communication on both sides and a lack of time once this had been sorted, filming became impossible. If lucky I may still be allowed one final weekend to finish. if not I will have to try ad find a way to take the shots from either of the first 2 films and try to add them into the current film as a parallel story line. This isn’t ideal though and would be difficult. If I do get one final weekend, regardless of circumstances or problems I will have to film regardless and try to mask any continuity errors in the editing process as I will not be allowed any more filming time after this.
