Some Things Are Not Going As Planned.

Currently, my group and I are in the midst of filming our preliminary task. However, some things aren't going as smoothly as we first anticipated. 

Things were running smoothly, such as wearing certain clothes on certain days, to ensure our continuity during the clip is perfect, and getting as much of our filming done as we could to ensure we have enough time to edit, etc. However, this all changed at the beginning of this week, when my teacher was on a school trip (how inconsiderate!). 
On Monday, everyone in my group had worn the appropriate clothing, in order for us to carry on filming. We were all set to begin filming, when we had no keys to the cupboard the camera's were in! Even though we sent our other teacher on a wild-goose hunt in order to find the keys, there was no luck. This meant we lost an hour worth of filming, and couldn't edit as our footage was still on the camera. With nothing else to do, we had to blog!

Today, was possibly even worse! We dedicated today's lesson, purely for editing (mainly because everyone forgot to wear the correct clothes), however when went to get the footage off the camera from out previous lesson, we discovered it was no longer on there! We decided, that someone had either deleted out footage or the SD cards had been swapped. Going though every single SD card would take way too long, and would be a waste of a lesson and everyone else's time. This meant, we were to film our footage again, however luckily we had already saved some on to the computer. This meant, we were able to edit a small amount of footage, and therefore the lesson wasn't a complete waste of time. 

In the future, we've decided to save our footage to the computer immediately, in order to avoid this awkwardness.
