The making

Today we started making our film. It took us about an hour to get the camera and lighting right by using every item we could find in the kitchen to attatch the web cam to. Then we were off. Because we had planed everything the day before it all seemed to go smoothly and was loads of fun as we are both very creative people any way.

Problems we faced

There were a few small problems faced during the first day however we learnt for the next days. Firstly we started off without using glue/ blue tack etc which was very tricky when using lots of small shapes (leaves) which could easily change place from the smallest thing e.g breathing too hard or by me coughing. To over come this the following day we used glue and white tack to hold things in position for the shots.
Secondly a problem we faced was having to press the paper down and wait for it to rise until it was just in the shadow of the last picture so that we could take it. This was very tedious and took an awful long time however was worth it.
Lastly the speed of the video was tricky as the writing was quite slow where as the other slides were quite fast. We even had to redo one of the slides when the birds bring down the paper because it went so quick you didn't have time to read it.
