The group faced several challenges in producing their film project. They had a small group of only three people to divide the labor. They also had a limited budget of only £20 and lacked necessary equipment like a camera crane. The equipment they did have like the tripod and camera often malfunctioned, forcing improvisation. During filming and editing, they argued over small elements but were able to work through the issues to complete their goal of producing the best quality film possible with the resources they had.

1. Small group
• From our first production meeting Shelley, Katie and I
were not all too sure bout how the project would turn
out. WE were quite
disheartened straight away because we knew the
project would take up a lot of time, which we would
have to balance with our other A-levels. The time
situation wasn't helped by there only being three
of using the group. My A-level class was fairly split;
each group only had three people to it which i thought
was fair enough. However I would much preferred a
fourth or even fifth member to our Makely production
team.

2. Budget
• We also noticed in our production meeting that some
of our original ideas wouldn't be able to extend past
ideas because of either lack of equipment or funds to
do so. One shot that I really want to use somewhere in
my project was a crane shot. Of course my sixth form
didn't have the connections or funds to supply this and
neither did I, so this idea was immediately scrapped.
When Katie, Shelley and I went filming as well we took
notice of our funds. In the end our film cost us about
£20 in total, including rail tickets and the price of a
sandwich. W knew from out first meeting that funds
would be stretched or didn't exist so ambitions story
lines or ideas were ruled out straight away.

3. Poor equipment
• We also had the occurrence of
poor equipment , our tripod and camera didn't
always work. On our fist attempt day of
filming, we had issues with the tripod being too
stiff to follow Jack and the camera SD card had a
error. On the next next of filming, which was the
interior shots inside my house, our new tripod
had problems. This mean't Shelley and I had to
improvise a tripod from furniture in my house.

4. Social class
• After filing one point that was bought up was
my class. The character Jack had
been described as a working class teenager,
however a focus group that saw my film and
my teachers have told me that I don't look
working class and neither does my house or
living room. I guess the class of Jack doesn't
matter too much, but I wish we had described
him in the right class type or made me or my
house look slightly more scruffy.

5. Argument
• After we had edited most of our film we had the
job of fine tuning small elements. However this
stage didn't go as well as I thought. Small
arguments broke out between the group, we
didn't agree on small things like the length of the
track during the bus scene. I guess every
production company will have small problems
and arguments over work, but ours wasn't large
scale and we new we all wanted the small goal, to
produce the best quality film possible.
