Difficulties Encountered Whilst Filming

In filming our group encountered a few problems due to lack of organisation. One of the first problems we had was that our group were relying on others, at the first attempt of the party scene the turnout was low and therefore we had to re-schedule for another day. Also at the first attempt, the lights were not working properly and if we had filmed on this day it would have taken away the look that this scene was a party. Another problem the group had, is that on filming the party scene, I (Alex) could not be there for part of it due to an exam so we had to have someone else around helping in my place. When filming in the house, we had not decided which room we were going to film in, so when we arrived at the house we were looking around for a while trying to decide and wasting valuable time. We also cleared up the filming area to avoid risk of debris and broken glass however there were bits that could not be disposed off such as sharp edges on the smashed windows. The last problem we encountered was not getting enough footage which made the group have to keep refilming and caused problems as we had to make sure all the costumes and props were consistent in where they were positioned.
