Problems we Faced on our First Day of Filming

On our first day of filming there were a few problems to which we had to find solutions. Firstly we had problems with the focus on the shots of our lips when singing, but after a while we figured out how we could change the focus on the camera so that the close up shots were just as clear as the long shots. Freya was a big help to us during this time as she was the one who learnt how to use the camera.

The next problem we faced was the weather. The rain caused us to change our schedule, which was very difficult as the shots we had already filmed were in a specific light and if we waited any longer it would have been a different light so we had to reshoot all of the material in the different light.

Whilst we were waiting for the rain to clear we started to film the shots in the bathroom which involved the shower, but the line that separated the two pieces of glass in the shower was in the way of the shot which we felt ruined it. We decided to then go to Jess' dad's house to try the shower there but we also had the same problem. The last place we could try was Freya's house so we went there and the shower was perfect so we filmed these shots there. These changes of plan caused a lot of hassle for us as a group and it meant that we couldn't go up to Brick Lane to film the shots of the couple in front of the graffiti wall, or up to central London for the other shots.

We will be doing a second day of filming to get these parts done.

Also the shots that we planned to do with the sweets and heart shapes did not work as planned so we decided to change the shot.
