What went wrong and how i fixed them.

I started of with my story board, however half way through this my friend told me she could no longer film as she had to much work to do. This meant i would have to change the whoel story board. I decided that i wouldnt have enough time to do a new one so i went straight into filming, with the basis of the story board but with someone different. I then had more character issues when i couldnt arrange friends to meet up to film due to work and college. So i decided to go ahead and film the parts with out the friends. it then came clear to me that i was running out of time to complete my project so i sat down and decided i would have to edit the script. i got rid of all talking as short films have little speech in so it didnt matter majorly, used writing notes in class to represent the conversation they would of had. i did this as teenagers write notes so it stuck with the genre of teenagers. I then also cut out the scenes buying the alcohol as it would mean i needed to find more people willing to act for me, which at this stage was highly unlikely. Therefore i stuck with just the girl getting ready and the friend.
I have struggled massively with this project but wouldnt of decided to do anything different as film making is a passion of mine. Therefore i have learnt from my problems and mistakes and next time hopefully my projects will go much more smoothly.
