Progress Report

So far the production and planning process has been great. Surprisingly, it was easy planning as everyone contributed many ideas and within a short amount of time, we had our sequence all ready for filming. Some of the problems we encountered was when filming the scene where Pete is thrown into a wall, he kept on spinning on the string that held him suspended in the air, this caused some frustration but fortunately we managed to overcome this and continue our filming. One other problem was the amount of unwanted noise in the background in the first few scenes of the sequence. When filming Pete when he is first discovered by the parents, there was music playing in the background from one other group, this generally ruined the whole scene as it did not fit. We had some technical difficulties like loosing the family pictures and the cameras screen malfunctioning but other than that, the filming went fine. After the half term, we will continue editing and hopefully put in the soundtrack that would round off the sequence, giving it a more polished feel. Our main priorities when we return from half term is to complete our editing, finish the sequence with the soundtrack  and retake the family pictures that was lost and maybe if we have time, we may film our "5 years later" title made of plasticine similar to our opening title.
