Technical Issues

While filming, we could encounter a plethora of technical issues.

Firstly, we could have issues with the cameras themselves. Battery life is always a worrying factor while filming and due to my previous experience while filming, it would be worthwhile to make sure we have a spare battery available to avoid losing any footage or wasting time.

We will also have to make sure the SD card in the camera is constantly free of enough storage allowing us to film in big chunks. Previously, we have run out of storage space while filming without realising, meaning we spent extra time filming scenes however they weren't being saved, meaning we had to reshoot said scenes. Also, due to us using multiple cameras at the same time to get different shots, we will have to be aware of both cameras running out of storage as well as battery space.

We are editing on the iMacs provided to us by the school, the program we're using is called Final Cut Pro. We will have to make sure we back up our work to make sure we don't encounter any problems while editing resulting in us losing our work.

Final Cut Pro is not the most reliable editing software. It is known to crash as well as not save your work. We will have to be aware of this and make sure that we constantly save our work as well as back up our files to negate any chance of this happening to us.
