Preliminary Task - Progress: Problems Faced During The Task

Initially we had to overcome the fact that neither of us were able to use the cameras to produce the shot we wanted (change of depth of field to focus from an object to the boy's feet). We resolved this by practicing the shot in  mock up situation during a lesson. Here are the clips showing the progression of how we mastered the shot.

Also, we had to postpone the filming date twice due to 2 reasons:

1. Lack of equipment allocated - we had planned to film dual camera, but due to equipment being lent to other teams, we weren't able to get all the equipment we needed. We then moved the filming date to sunday 27th Nov.
2. We then had to further postpone the date of filming to 28th Nov because one of our actors pulled out hours before the meet time as he was unavailable.

Another problem we encountered, after recruiting a replacement actor, was that we had to rearrange the parts the actors would play. Fergus, who was initially meant to play Leroy, had to play the psychiatrist - Dr. Winnerton, and our replacement actor Michael would now play Leroy. This had to be changed on the production schedule.
