poblems we encounted

We have encountered various different problems in the process of editing our film. The first problem we came across was the fact we didn't have a set script. This was a problem for us because it meant that we could not write up a script for our film as it wouldn't of made sense as we told myself and Georgia to to have general 'chit chat' which didnt really have any relevance in our film whatsoever. Originally when we were filming we didn't think we would need a set script as we thought we could just make it up and just write the script afterwards. However, when it came to editing our film we realised that none of what the actors were saying linked together so the script would not make sense. To overcome this problem we decided to cut out all of the talking in our film so that we have no dialogue and then rerecord our actors speaking from a script that we would have produced. This therefore means that we will be able to have a script that makes sense and it will also mean that the dialogue in our film will make sense because it will all link together.
Another problem we have encountered is that our film was 42 seconds over 2 minutes. This was clearly a big problem because our film has to be 2 minutes. This means that we needed to cut out 42 seconds worth of filming time. Luckily we were able to cut out that 42 extra seconds by cutting out unnecessary scenes from our film. This therefore means that we will now be able to have our film lasting for 2 minutes.

We also found that when we went to film, we didnt end up following our story board and therefore didnt use a varitey of shots that we said we would use, so we ended up with a lot of medium shots and a lot of scences with just us walking. This wasnt very succesful as they dont really look as good as the could in our 'horror' film, as we needed alot more close ups. Another reason for our film not being as good as we would of liked it to be is due to the fact of other commitments meaning we were unable to spend as much time filming as we would of like to, we felt it was a bit rushed and not properly thought through. We should of checked our film through out the time we were in woods but the battery kept going low so we had to turn it on and off straight away which was annoying.
