On this day I arrived to school at 8:40 to begin my final production piece, however filming was delayed as the media technician arrived late to school and did not arrive until 10:00am. This meant that acquiring equipment and facilities were delayed and so was the time that I had to film.
During the filming process, the scene of a reporter reporting from outside the school was delayed also, as a lorry parked in front of the school gates in which we were about to film. However this problem resolved as the lorry parked in the school.
Another problem from this day would be that during filming in the green screen room, sun light shone through the windows on the green screen canvas behind the anchor of the news. This delayed us further as we were unable to film whilst the sun shone through the window as Final Cut Pro would pick up this as white during the editing process, which would mean that we would have to film again if we were to film during the sunlight hitting the green canvas.
To overcome this problem we had to wait for the sun to move behind a cloud for us to begin filming.

This day was the day that I had used to spend most of my time doing most of the interviewing aspects of the production. As I already had a list of interviewees the matter of finding/filming these interviewees was made easier. After filling out the student and teacher agreement forms, I was able to film these interviewees on questions based around a particular news story. However during trying to obtain a main interviewee, I was unable to find them as they were very busy. This was however a minor setback and I was able to easily replace the interviewee.
A major problem from today was that we were unable to film due to the immense drilling noise which disrupted us whilst filming. We overcame this problem via calling our teacher for her to email the workers to stop the drilling, as they should not have been doing this during school time.

Today I was told that I had to add more footage to the production, as I had only had footage from interviews, and I needed a story to go with these interviews. However I believe that I will be able overcome this problem as it is not as major as first thought.
I will also need to record a voiceover over my clips of certain areas, as these are still missing.

As there were no earlier problems during much of this production I encountered one today as I was not able to finish the editing voiceover parts to my production. This was due to the fact that the school closed earlier today and I thought I had enough time left to do them.
