Filming Difficulties

Problem: 
A day before we were going to start our first day of filming, our actor decided that she did not want to film anymore leaving us without an actor and potentially leaving us with no option other than to cancel our recording session on the studio.
Solution: 
We managed to find a second actor within the same day! Bronte was very kind to offer to be out actor so we told her what we're planning to do the next day and what she would need to bring, it was even better that she was a dancer so we could have the dance sequence we wanted.

Problem: 
Trying to get permission from the museum took longer than expected simply due to problems of them losing my number several times which was frustrating as I was trying to find a date that all the crew and actors could attend.
Solution: 
I was able to get in touch with the manager via email and make arrangements to go down and film on the day, as my crew and actors are available on the condition that I bring down the storyboard to show them where I wanted to film.

Problem: 
When we were filming the frame sequence, we had to place the frame on the wall which was attempted over the course of two days, which were Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that the frame couldn't hold it's weight has we were using Blu-Tak to support the frame although this didn't work very well as it kept falling down until the point the frame has snapped partly in the corners.   
Solution:
We found out that the frame could hold it's weight if we took the glass of the frame out, so we re-filmed on Friday without the glass in which it stayed when placed so we could get a variety of shots that would introduce the narrative slowly.
