Problem Solving
Planning for Theoretical Problems
Problems I may encounter when
researching and planning
- Finding sources other than websites
- Having a range of people to talk too
- Finding locations and them being available
Planning for Practical and Technical Problems
Problems I may encounter when filming
- Finding actors and their availability
- Weather
- Equipment failure
Mid Project Check-up ( After Research)
- Getting everything in on time
- Writing a good script
End Project Review
Problems I faced
- Not finding actors and cancellations
- Capturing Audio
- Lighting
How I plan to resolve these issues
- Look in any other sources possible, books,
youtube clips and articles
- I will talk to as many people I possibly can
and if they don’t want to be filmed I will
annotate the conversation
- Try lots of different places that are similar
and public places so I don’t need permission
How I plan to resolve these issues
- Use friends, contact people in the drama
department and try and film on weekends or
when most people are available
- This could be an issue at anypoint, so
planning around it and constantly checking.
- Carefully handling everything
- Create a detailed production schedule and
share it with peers so they know when I am
free to help them
- Look at popular coming of age films and
their scripts for inspiration.
How I solved them
- I got in contact with friends from another
college who study performing arts as well as
using peer help, we worked around
everyone's schedule
- I borrowed a microphone from college and
tried to capture the best audio possible with it
mounted on my camera. In post I used the
audio gain option in premiere pro to adjust
each clip appropriately.
- I took my panel lights with me to film. For
the evening scenes I colour graded in
premiere pro to make it seem as though it
was later on in the night as I couldn’t film
during nightime.
