The school site manager delayed approval for the third filming at the school, which impacted their planned filming and cancelled three scheduled days. They had to find a new location to film and received permission from Trinity at Bowes church hall. However, they had to film a music concert there in return. Due to the delayed filming, they had to work during the Easter holiday to complete editing their two minute movie opening and blogs.

1. Our Locations had to be changed. This is because the site manager at our school was delaying his
decision on whether or not he would give permission to film on school premises with boys for the
third time filming. We required filming this many times because we didn’t have the sufficient camera
shots. In addition, some of our camera shots weren’t to the best of standards which meant that we
had to re-film them. As our school closes at 6pm and needs students to start leaving at 5:45 we only
had a limited time to film. This is because we had to wait for the majority of the school students to
be off the premises, which were at around 4:00 – 4:15pm, before we started filming.
However, after about a week of waiting, we were told that we couldn’t film at school with boys on
site for the third time. This hugely impacted our planned filming and also resulted in three scheduled
days of filming to be cancelled. We therefore had to decide whether we changed our storyboard
completely and changed the location or if we would find somewhere similar to film. After some
persuading, Beatriz’s volunteering place, Trinity at Bowes church, allowed us to use their halls to film
our coursework. However, they asked us to agree to repay them by filming a music concert that was
happening on Friday 30th March.
As our filming was pushed back so far, we had to work extra hard to complete the editing of our two
minute movie opening. This also meant that we had to attend school during our Easter holiday on
Thursday 5th April to finish our blogs and final two minute movie opening. Beatriz Arredondo
recorded the final version of the voices we used in our final piece. She also edited the credits.

had to go to work.
