The reason why we didn't put our real names in the Credits

The reason why our group didn't put the role everyone played in the opening sequence was because we felt it was unfair for our group members to choose whom played what role. As everyone in our group was assigned to a specific role but we learned how to do every role i.e Directing, Editing...

Problems that were dealt with on the shoot

During the day of out shoot we had to foresee some problems that we didn't expect to deal with. However our group found a solution to most of the problems.

1) The first problem is the weather this was due to the highly predictable rain. This meant we had to be more careful when we filmed with sony NX5 as it isn't water proof/resistant, which meant we could cause damage to the camera. However due to the light drizzle and short period of rain our group was able to cope.

2) The second problem was the weather again! This time it is because of the cold weather, which meant that the battery life only lasted within 1-2 hours max when we expected to last for at least 3 hours. This meant we had to take more frequent breaks so the crew member could go back to school to collect more batteries.

Updated Storyboard

This is the storyboard for my opening sequence. I have planned out each shot carefully and how they would link together by using things such as match on action and eye line match. By doing a storyboard it allowed our group to visualise our scenes more clearly on the day.

However I don't expect our group to following this storyboard too specifically as during the day when its being shot we are most likely going to be finding new and more exiting camera angles to play around with.
