Challenges and Achievements

We faced A LOT of challenges while filming, mainly due to the fact that we chose a school as our setting. This meant that it was difficult for us to find empty classrooms to film in. We also couldn't film much during school times as our costumes and prop guns would scare the younger years, which unfortunately did happen a couple of times. To prevent this from happening we created signs (such as the one below) which we put up on doors of classrooms and in the corridors which we were filming in.

Time was also another massive factor we didn't anticipate when filming. We assumed it would take us  unto 30 mins to film each shot, but in reality we had to stay behind for hours to film a scene which we decided not to include. This is mainly because of our high hopes and vivid imagination, we wanted everything to be perfect.

The most difficult scene to shoot was the fight scene. This is because we got our friends, who weren't media students, to act for us after school. After getting the first two shots wrong, we all grew impatient and frustrated. It ended up taking almost 3 hours to film that scene but it did end up being one of our greatest achievements.
