    Thanks for dropping by my blog, and I hope you enjoy today's topic!

Today, I will be opening up about some difficulties and the results of them: 

Story 

  I know I talked about the initial story we planned in previous blogs. However, we had to cut stuff out in order for the events to flow smoothly and NOT spoil what the actual film is about! The film opener is just supposed to introduce the audience to the story, but not flesh out the whole thing (we just wrote a whole story as it is easier for us to know what everything is about and THEN cut parts out to keep the suspense in the project). For example, the plot twist we had planned unfortunately had to be scrapped for the opener as it would have spoiled too much of the ACTUAL movie. Therefore, if you notice any changes moving on or in the final product make sure to keep in mind that before we were just brainstorming, and NOTHING was finalized until we actually started filming.

Practicality 

   Moreover, some ideas that we had were discarded due to practical reasons as we had several limitations in terms of time, props, and availability. Firstly, when actually filming we had to consider, the maximum time limit allotted to us by Cambridge as we could not have made the project too long and over the time limit. Another consideration in regard to time is how long it took to film every scene and the due date! In more detail, for each scene, we had to do MULTIPLE takes as getting it right on the first take was virtually impossible for us. Plus with a deadline to meet and the time it takes to edit we just could not do every idea we had considered in the mood board. Next, since we had 0 budget, ALL the props that we used were already stuff we had on hand, and anything we did not have we just had to improvise and substitute it with an alternative. Lastly, by availability, I mean finding filming days where everyone is free and places to film (especially for the house scenes as we would not want to intrude uninvited)! We were lucky enough that we had enough breaks from school and all of our schedules matched up in order to film at someone's house and to film in a slightly shady area at night.
