to film our production would be during the October half term.
We did this because it had suited all of us including the actors.

Filming For our filming, we went to our location and
filmed our production. Filming went well but it didn’t turn out perfect due to minor mistakes such as the timing of shots and that there was not enough variety of shots.
However we were not able to completely finish the filming as we didn’t have enough time. We are planning to film again and also re-do the shots.
Planning Barry and I looked back over our work and we
had wrote down the things that need to be adjusted, added or taken out.
This list will be reviewed as we film next time so we can make sure everything turns out to be correct.
