Solving problems when filming

There a lot of factors that we had to take into account when we were filming. Firstly we had to manage the equipment, so it did not get damaged, and it was in the right spot to get the best possible shot. We had to adapt the equipment to the surroundings we were in. the conditions were quiet slippy so we had to use the tripod more than first thought. Also we had to manage the group dynamics; therefore we had to make sure everybody was in the right place at the right time, so we had to put all the actors in the right place so the filming could be precisely done. Everyone worked well and we all had designated jobs to deal with, when doing this we all came together to get all of our shots done. There was also the main factor of health and safety. we had to ensure that when filming we were all safe and not in any danger, when we were filming the conditions were perfect for our film yet not so much could be said for us. it was extremely slippy which made it hard to run and cold conditions lead to problems also. Therefore we had to take into account the safety of ourselves before the film. Therefore slight i adjustments were made to ensure our safety. Before we set out to our location we decided on props and costumes before hand so we knew what we had to do when we got there. so we planned all of our props and costumes when storyboarding. Although it is impossible to manage the weather and nature it so we did not know what our location would be like on filming day. Luckily we got the perfect day to film, it was misty, cold and damp and it really added to the films design. Our group were mainly all the actors except for tom white who we drafted in to help. Managing this was fine because after working as a group through planning this we already knew what we had to do to get our film done.
