Production Phase - Creating a trailer

Dear Diary,

Production Phase has finally begun!

Today me and partner Sherene went to one of the rooms where we wanted to shoot one of our scenes in, we had decided to shoot in the staff room, simply because we felt that the room had everything we needed such as chairs, tables and desks which could allow the room to imitate a classroom.

Below is a slideshow of some pictures of the area we was shooting in.

Here is a short video of us in the production phase

Production phase went really good, however we did have some minor problems. The 1st problem was the lighting it made the video we had created overexposed even when adjusting the ISO, another problem we had faced was the actress, there was some times she wasn't available to act, due to her having a class that clashed with our times, which is understandable because she has work to do in her own course, but she was very friendly and kind and re-arrange to do it again tomorrow.

The last problem that we had encountered was with the other actress, she didn't really communicate properly with us and when we needed her she was not being helpful, you could tell that she wasn't really passionate about the role, so we decided to replace her with me. I have had past experiences with acting and drama, so we took a gamble and to be honest it was the best decision made, as I would definitely be available to star in my own trailer.

On this day we also got our voiceovers done for the characters that are not present in the scenes such as the teacher who speaks over a speaker, whilst the two main characters are in the detention room and all of the narrators dialogue.

Tomorrow we will begin to shoot more of the scenes needed for our trailer and we will try and get our actress at a time where she will be fully available to our needs.
