Evaluating our production process

During our video production we encountered a number of set backs that we had to overcome to continue with production. These included:

1) Continuity of the lighting as it often altered. We resolved this by using the lights from college, this way it would be more or less the same every time regardless of where we filmed or the natural light.

2) Accidental movement of props, resulting in unwanted movement during the stop motion. We resolved this in different ways depending on the prop. For example we used blue-tack to keep paper on the table.

3) We were unable to get fridge magnets for a part of the video, which was stated in our storyboard, so ended up using play dough which had the same effect.

4) Another alteration to our storyboard was that we planned to use additional props in certain places i.e when writing out lyrics but this proved too difficult in that the lyrics wouldn't match up to the song if we did this, so we ended up cutting them out.

5) Due to lack of memory space on college network areas some of the pictures had to be moved to other folders, however during this process some files got deleted and weren't retrievable. This meant we had to re-shoot some sections setting us back on our time plan.
