As I am slowly completing the tasks set for the pre-production stage of A2 media and I am getting closer to filming the product itself there are various problems that have arisen. One of which is the location I wish to film in may not always be available to me when I need it, as there is a disused car in there. This creates quite a large problem as not only is the entire short based in the garage location, but I then have to ask if we can move the car out of the garage for a few hours every weekend to film the product. Another problem is that the two actors I intend to use in my product can't be available at the same time for me, which has led me to decide that I will film their scenes separately, and any scenes that require both of them I will have to overlap their footage together so it appears as though they are in the same shot. This does mean I will have to be putting more time into the editing process than I wanted, but the script was designed with these specific actors, and that location in mind so I am working around these issues.
In filming the actors, considering that I can not get both of them together on the same day, I am going to film their scenes individually, which may require some alterations to the script and storyboard to retain continuity. In the editing process I will overlap their scenes together so it appears as though they are in the same scene. This is admittedly more difficult than what I wanted to achieve, but I feel if I wrap filming in early November, that gives me the whole month of December and part way into January to edit my product.
