problems.

We have come across a few problems whilst filming our opening sequence.

Day one of filming.
The first problem was the location, we had to find an empty unused room in the college to film it in, this problem was soon solved. We didn't have anyone in our group who could play the little boy, but we found one of our friends who had a free lesson, who was willing to act in it for us. Once we had set up the camera and had it all in position, we then realised that it was light outside, and in the film, it's supposed to be night time, so we had to sort something out to make it look darker, so we put a blanket up at the window.

Day two of filming.
Our next problem was the lockers in the school corridors were going to be in the screen, and you wouldn't particularly find that sort of thing in a house, so we had to, again, use our blanket to cover them up. Our idea of slitting two peices of paper together in front of the camera to make it look like the children were blinking and that we were seeing things from there point of veiw, didn't really work, and it didn't look very good, so we just left that bit out.

Day three of filming.
There wasn't many problems on the third day, except the time of day, it was last lesson, which meant it was dark, so most of the film would have been lighter than the little bit we filmed on the last day. Our idea of using paper to make snow on the title piece didn't work, because the paper didn't show up well on the camera, but it worked well anyway because it was foggy, so it looked like it should be snowing, and that it was winter.

Editing.

When putting the film together, we came across a few problems, we were unable to do the split screen of the girl and the boy waking up as we didn't know how to. Also, we were told that we had to make our own soundtrack to the film and we didn't know this before, so we had to do it last minute.
