Problems I encountered
And how I resolved them.....
One of the first major issues that arose for me was the use of a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm) You can see why this was a problem and how I resolved it on the page "police film report".
The biggest problem throughout the whole project was most definitely the weather. When I had began this project the weather was beautiful, stunning as a matter of fact, and it could have only got better right? Unfortunately just as I began filming the rain wouldn't stop. There was not a single day it wasn't raining for at least a whole month straight. The times I were able to film was when it was extremely overcast or dull from the previous rain clouds. It was a nightmare!, However I preserved and tried my best with the conditions I had, This was the only reason as to why I couldn't complete the film. I had manged to film sections one to six within 3 days of filming, meaning I would have easily been able to finish the film within the time frame if it wasn't for the weather. Regardless I skipped some sections and made the best out of what I had into an awesome trailer which turned out to be amazing! and much better than what I thought it would be like.
Due to me being the Actor, Director, Camera operator and everything else that goes into making a film. I decided I would need some help, the main reason for this was due to not liking the stillness of most of my shots. I wanted to have some motion shots within the film so I decided to ask my dad for some help. This led to me having to teach him on how to hold the gimbal, how to operate it, how to get each shot I wanted and lot's more teaching. However in the end I had a really nice selection of shots that I could use!
