After several attempts to meet up and shoot the film trailer all of the original cast that were going to be in it we decided to swap around the cast due to their strict availability. After setting a meeting and shooting date of this Saturday, two of the four actress' also canceled on both me and Faith which highly irritated us. Therefore, we had to improvise some of the first scene, considering we would not have been able to do some of the shots we wanted. I could also not be included because our cast was strictly female as our antagonist liked to capture women. We also wanted a female protagonist so that we could also prove that women were strong as well, and can save themselves, going against many mainstream films that use women as the Damsel in distress' (going against Propp's typical character theory)
There was also issues with the location that we had decided to use in our film trailer, as we were constantly approached by youths of whom thought it was funny to create a lot of noise after being asked politely to be quiet and/or leave. After an hour of precious recording time wasted on getting rid of these pestering children, we carried on recording. Due to the season, it was already getting dark which had an impact on our camera quality. However, in light of this, i used two iPhone torches to light up the charater's face which contrasted against the background and immediately made our camera shots look more professional.
