PRODUCTION: The Final scene- Setbacks and Overcoming then 28/03/15

Today, as a group we liaised with the rugby team to discuss when the next training session or match would be. Unfortunately, as we are coming to the end of the season now and Varsity is over, there are limited times to film the final scene of our film- the rugby match.

Therefore, as there was a rugby match this saturday (The Dutch team were on tour), we thought that this was the best time in case there was not another opportunity to film a match or training session.
When we got there, the match was extremely rowdy as both teams had been drinking. This became almost an impossible task to set up as players were demanding to be interviewed and generally causing unwanted chaos. 
Furthermore, once the tripod was set up we discovered that the release plate was the wrong size for the tripod. This was hugely frustrating because being a saturday the Jennisson building was not open. However, as a team we decided to make the best of a bad situation and continue to film regardless of the technical difficulties. We took a selection of hand-held shots- including panning, zooming and a selection of still shots to try and build up a large enough portfolio of footage that we could possibly use when editing. 
This was a huge setback, and will the best of luck we may possibly have some shots that we can use, so tomorrow we will film the dialogue and try to incorporate the rugby game footage with the dialogue that will be shot the next day.

When we filmed this scene again, we had learn from our mistakes and the adrenaline and focus in the team was high. We were motivated and quick, and ensured in advance that we had all the necessary equipment in place so we would not be held back. The filming went well, but unfortunately the wind was extremely powerful and fast. This often drowned out what the actors were saying, but hopefully we had enough shots to make the final cut acceptable. With the fast approaching deadline, there will be no more time to film it again, so we will have to make the best of what we have.
