We went out and did our filming and we had some technical difficulties as in the tripod didn't work (one of the legs wouldn't lock), the battery died after a few hours, the lighting wasn't quite right in some places due to the time that we decided to film, we also didn't bring any of our notes or storyboard down to the place in which we was shooting so we had to try and remember what shot went where and what each shot involved which proved to be very difficult. We didn't have the money to book a camera or tripod so we used Emma's tripod which as previously said didn't go to plan, and we had to borrow a friends camera also, which didn't give us the clearness of a shot taken from a processional filming camera so a few of our shots look a bit 'grainy' but that may work well with the drunken shots. To make sure we do not come across these technical problems again we plan on charging the camera up fully, taking spare batteries depending on what battery it takes, hire out a proper tri-pod and double check everything with it works properly, and hire out a good professional film camera.
Our actors weren't very good, it may be as it was their first time with this role or it might be because we as directors weren't very informative as we wasn't too sure on our exact plan we only had a brief outline of an idea, so me and Emma as a team are making a decision as to whether we keep this cast or we change and re-start all the shots; it would be simpler just keeping the same cast and add to our already existing shots, but, it's when we can meet up discuss who to change acting wise, who would be comfortable with doing a piece like this and when we all have free time to do some filming.
