Deadlines-

I would like to have all my filming completed by the end of the Easter holidays, which leaves me with just over a month to edit it all together and record my sounds, this also gives me time to request permission for music.

Team meetings-

It is very difficult to have lots of team meetings with everyone always being busy, it is hard to confirm team meeting dates, therefore I have been in contact with my actors over social media, that way I can update them all the time and let them know when they will be needed again. I have filmed the majority of my film now, therefore I may not need to use 3 of my actors again, I have already started piecing the film together and this way I can see what bits are missing or needs re-filming. As my location is quite far away, I was very proactive when my actors came down to the location, as I knew that this may be the only chance I got to film with them altogether.

Contingency-

• Resources backup - I have all my footage backed up on both my laptop and my hard drive as well as on the original SD card.

• 2 of my main actors unfortunately could no longer help me, therefore I had a month left to find another actor and continue filming. I relied too much on my original actors, I put of weeks of filming to ensure that they would be able to make it. I worked around them, fitting to their plans, and that was completely wrong of me. I have learned my lesson and I am not as happy with the outcome as I probably would have been, if I still had the original actors. Instead of using the couple that I had planned to use, My mum offered to step in. This was obviously a bit odd as my other characters were of the same age, but I managed to make it fit in by them being in the same house but having their separations.

I have watched other tutorials whilst editing this film, to help me gain a better understanding on how the software works. 

I edited my visual footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and my audio tracks were edited in Logic Pro X. I then extracted the audio footage from Logic and pieced it together in Premiere. My sounds were either taken from a copyright free/ archive sound website or they were recorded by myself on my iPhone 6.
