Problems whilest Filming By Kevin

Problems Faced Whilst Filming
Lighting:
One of the conventions that most horror movies have is a low-key lighting throughout various scenes. However, we found it very difficult to do that as we do not have any facilities which would aid our group to record a dark scene with the best picture quality possible. We were put under pressure by the dusk/night time work we wanted to include in many of our shots but this couldn’t happen due to problems with lighting.
Inconvenient Filming Times:
Another issue that our group faced is that all members of our group has different free periods, therefore we would only be able to film either at lunch time or afterschool hours. This became an issue especially during lunch time as students who are not acting in our trailer decide to jump in front of the camera whilst we are filming which ruins the overall shot however sometimes it is useful as it shows the environment of the school in the shot but only when we are not getting interrupted.
Weather:
The weather has been sunny lately which will go against the mise-en-scene of a typical horror weather however, we found that this is overall the best weather to film in due to a much better picture quality being processed, so this was not that much of a problem for our group.
Other Problems Faced:
We still have not created a ‘demonic symbol’ yet which is the main prop for our trailer and is a enigma code for our trailer to create a sense of mystery throughout the trailer. Therefore, we need to get or create a symbol soon as we are filming that scene very soon and need it ASAP.
Arguments is another problem as it wastes a lot of time during our filming  and it is hard to choose which kind of shot we are going for. We have solved this by filming every idea that our group has then we can decide after which shot we will go for.
