Last year, when creating our 2 minute film we could have encountered some slight problems but luckily we avoided them. The biggest example of this would be that we didn't get enough shots and that we were relying on one shot to be good, and if this particular shot either didn't work, or was not in focus or the sound wasn't right then it could have ruined the entire film.
This year after planning part of our shot list we decided that we would like to do a minimum of 2 shots per every shot that we are wanting to do and then we can have the choice of which one we want to use. In some cases we may have 3 or 4 shots just for one little section, but at least this gives us some variety and we are not stuck if one shot doesn't particularly work.
This is the project that Josh and Connor completed last year (along with 2 others);
This is the project that Luke and James completed last year (along with 2 others);
Both videos were completely different but both had good ideas and good shots. A problem that Josh and Connor had was that the storyline was quite complicated and had to get the right costumes and the right location. A problem with Luke and James was that some people didn't turn up on the particular day. In this project, we have tried to combat these problems by having a modern day storyline, and also by only relying on one other person who is not part of our media group, and everyone else is part Pigs Can't Fly Productions. This way, the costumes are not hard to do as we can wear just our normal clothing, and if an unfortunate coincidence does happen, and people can't make shooting, then it will not be too hard to rearrange.
