One of the main problems we encountered when it came to filming our trailer was arranging shoots. Trying to gather together all of the people we needed to feature in our trailer was very difficult. We needed 7 people to feature in our trailer and several of the shots involved all of them. It was hard to find a day when each person was available to film and so there was a relatively long period of time when our group had little, or no footage to edit. When we finally managed to arrange our main filming day, we wanted to make sure that we filmed all of the shots needed, as it would be very difficult to get all of the same people together to film again. We made a detailed plan for the day and stuck to it.
We also had problems with lighting in some of our shots due to the time of day that we filmed. Many of the individual shots of the main character 'Grace' had to be filmed after school at around 4pm. Due to the time of year, natural lighting was often poor. For this reason some shots appeared very 'grainy' and so could not be used in our trailer.
We also found that once we had finished filming we realised that there were a few key shots that were not suitable to use. To solve this issue we left blank gaps in the trailer that we then filled after re-shooting these shots.
