After filming on Saturday (5th December) we found that our footage was, on the whole, at a good standard as to what we were wanting to achieve on this official filming day as a group. Nevertheless, we found some problems even after doing planning and research in great detail for a number of weeks prior to the filming day.
Most inconveniently, we were challenged by the weather conditions throughout the day. The most troubling aspect was the wind at our location. Even after moving our filming days several times to suit our needs. The wind was extremely inconvenient because of the weight of the props. Given that the props were pieces of paper, it was most inconvenient because we had to have them still in order to film. As a result, it took us over half an hour to get the perfect shot but we did this by shielding the area in which we were filming the shot.
Moreover, the lighting also played a big problem as we were obviously limited by the sunset time (around 4pm). To be able to get around this, we arrived at the location by 1pm and set up an hour before the actor arrived. As we set up fairly quickly, we were able to shoot different shots such as the establishing shot where the actor, who was yet to arrive, was not needed.
On the whole, we found filming very successful because we had shot the things we had wanted.
