Challenging obstacles

Months into doing my A2 Media horror trailer i have already had some un-expected obstacles whilst doing the coursework.

Actors.

I have found it very difficult to schedules filming dates due to the group of 4 having other priorities such as part time work or family occasions which are both understandable reasons however this has affected the amount of filming I can do as all 4 group members need to be able to film at the same time or I cant do any filming at all.

Location.

It is not an easy task to find realistic horror style locations local to me and get permission to film at the locations. I have overcome this obstacle by finding a great location local to my house but due to Wyke College distance away from my house where all the props are and where the equipment is based, i have to rely on one of my cast members Kaela to take the cast from college to the location.

Equipment.

As the equipment i use to film is borrowed from the Media department i have to book dates to collect the camera which is become increasingly more difficult with the growing demand on camera time available to the students. I am understandable of this issue and know i have to be patient to be able to get the equipment I want.

Time.

I only have set period of time to film the sequences as the cast members don't have enough time to film for hours at a time. I also get an allocated period of time from the media department to have the equipment usually around a couple of days so i cant always manage to film the whole scenes i want to film.
