Problems

Here are some problems that i found occurred when constructing my trailer.
When considering my actors for the film then i came across some problems of choosing the right person to fit the part, i also had to try and find someone around my age to play the part otherwise they wouldn't fit the characters age as the girls are meant to be young enough to be able to still be in high school. As it had to be someone around my age then it was hard finding people who had enough time to be able to take part, and people who fit the part. Eventually i found that Millie and Chloe fit the parts just right and they had enough time to be able to be in my film.

When filming as i have already said it was very hard finding times that everyone was free, eventually we would agree on times but there wouldn't be much time to film so I would have to plan what we were doing in advance every time so i could make sure everything i needed doing would get done, we did not have time to mess around and plan as we went.

I always made sure that i filmed a few of each scene, in different ways. Then i would have lots of variety when choosing what i wanted to use in the actual trailer.

The main problem i had when filming was at the start then i filmed about a four minutes of footage of scenes and when i went to plug it into the laptop the cameras tape kept jumping and all my footage was ruined. Therefore i needed to find a solution to this problem - quick. I managed to put the tape into a new camera and watch it back, it played fine on the new camera, but would it on the laptop. Luckily i found out it was just the camera that was playing up and ruining the footage, so after i changed the camera then my piece worked fine.
