Although the filming was a mostly smooth process, we encountered one major problem. The problem we encountered was the room we were going to film in. The room originally booked was free for only a limited amount of time as it had been booked for a lesson in the next hour. Even thought we only had a limited amount of time before we would have to switch rooms, we decided to film what we could so we did not waste any filming time. In the original classroom we filmed two close ups; one of a light switch and one of a cup falling from a hand and hitting the floor. However, only the close up of the light switch made it in to the final product because it was found that the shot of the cup hitting the floor, which was filmed in the original location, was too different to the new location. When it came to leaving the room, at least we had filmed two shots that could possibly be used for the final product. Eventually, we found another room but had to adapt the narrative to fit the new location as the original plan was to have the story set in a classroom. We adapted the narrative to fit the new location which, now a kitchen in a home, so the continuity of the filming was not compromised.
When it came to filming the different shots, our group followed the storyboard so it was easier to see what was still left to film. The sequence with dialogue was filmed from different angles so that they could be edited together. By doing it this way, we were able to choose the best shots that would be featured in the final preliminary task when it came to the editing stage. Everyone in the group took turns at filming different shots that it was a joint effort. To reduce the likelihood of unsteady shots, a tripod was used. This makes the preliminary task look organised and reduces the chance of it looking unprofessional.
