The first location shoot was rather difficult for us, the weather and light was uncooperative. However, we managed to shoot all that we wanted to before the weather got really bad, without damaging the equipment. We had to omit various elements of our original storyboard due to practicalities; for example, the apple core rolling down the wall (we couldn't find a suitable wall), and various moments of the man-made surrealist sequence.
Going to edit, we discovered that our footage was poor: we had paid more attention to content of the scene over how the shot looked. It also looked like we should have made more use of the tripod to get still shots rather than the poor handheld shots we favoured. The next step is to make the best of what we have got and restructure the storyboard in order to be efficient with the editing.
In the edit suite, we have had a few problems with saving footage and losing shots, so we have had to start the project again. All we can say is that this was our first attempt at filmmaking, and we have learnt that we need to favour the cinematography over the events of the film, and be much more careful when working with Final Cut Pro.
