Up until this blog I have posted some of my set backs in parts of my production dairy and in blog reviews, however I thought that it would be useful that I upload a blog detailing all of the set backs I have faced and how I have overcame them. My first set backs for filming occurred when I tried to arrange my filming schedule for my first interview. I only had an hour to film the interview as my interviewee had further commitments. This meant that I then had to rearrange another date to film and filler shots or re film and any interviews. The only date that we could then both commit to was during school time, which posed an issue as part of my filming required a car. I overcame this by obtaining permission to use somebody else's car, however the car was parked the entire time, which meant that the footage looks slightly unnatural. Equally, filming at school meant that I was more limited in creative shots than I would have been if I was filming elsewhere. however I used what I had and tried to film as creatively as possible. I originally intended to film another interviewee, however she had to leave for another country for a month a couple days ahead of filming, so I quickly had to find another interviewee to interview. I resourced my potential interviewees at school as there are many international students there, but I had to re send consent forms. I found another interviewee, but the day before filming she contracted Covid-19, so I was left without a second interviewee again. Luckily I managed to secure an interview with another international student, however this interview had to take place 2 weeks after my intended initial interview date. This highlights the challenged with Covid-19 that I had to overcome, but equally demonstrates my adaptability to any of the challenges. There were equally typical set-backs involving equipment and batteries, however I was organised and prepared all my equipment the night before any of my interviews.
