PROBLEMS:HOLMBURY ST. MARY CHURCH:
We found it hard to get our track straight and spent a long time straitening it up and we still couldn’t get a completely straight track.
We had to conceal the lights in order to make sure that they weren’t present in the shots because otherwise it would have given away that the light that came from the ext in fact were red heads. We had difficulty with this as there were limited plug sockets in the church so we also didn’t want to show the leads.
We arrived with not enough lights so we had to go back to school on one occasion to retrieve more for the shoot. This therefore was an occurrence that took away valuable time.
The organ was positioned in a hidden area of the church which meant that it wasn’t shown in the track. We had to therefore get a keyboard and position it in a place that would be seen.
HURTWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL THEATRE:
The nativity set that we had wasn’t very detailed and were only painted white so they didn’t look so effective in a wide shot or close up.
Some of the figures had unintentional phallic symbols so they didn’t look how we had imagined and may have looked like we were suggesting something other than what we intended.
They were difficult to light with the lighter fluid as some were painted with fire resistant paint. So some of them took a long time to catch fire.
HURTWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL BASEMENT:
Hard to light the set and one person had to hold the light at the top throughout the whole shoot.
There was a strong smell of gas which gave us headaches which was a health and safety issue and we had to take it in turns to have breaks to get fresh air throughout the shoot.
There were shadows created from the stairs which in some shots made it look not as effective as we would have hoped.
