Due to the fact our first filming process wasnt as straightforward as we hoped for last time, we have now decided to use locations that we know are suitable and to stop any problems arising with actors we have only cast one actress. We have decided to use as many abstract but suitable locations as possible in which the letter will travel through to make the video more entertaining and powerful. Overal the video has taken around 3 weeks to produce, this is because we have had to shot a 4:30min video by only using still photographs, during the editing we will put these photographs all together to show the letters journey. Its a long proces but the end result will be worth it. Sometimes it has taken us around 1 hour to shot enough photos for ten seconds worth of footage.
During the fiming we did have a few problems but no where near as many as with our previous video. The ones we faced were considerebly minor, for example sometimes the wind was stronger than we anticipated therefore it moved the letter out of its previous position meaning it had to be scrapped and we had to start the shots again because one little movement loses the provessionalism of the shot. It was also hard to get the letter to stick to the props we used, such as the letter box where it crawls up and attempts to post itself twice, this shot is one of my favourites as i think its powerful for an audience member to sympathise with the object as it desperatley tries to post itself to the loved on in order to save a romance.
