Filming

     On Friday 12th of December we made the drive to Bir Zekreet, where we filmed our piece in the famous "Movie Village". It took around two hours to get all the shots we wanted, and whilst we did encounter some issues it went very smoothly. The weather remained consistent, nothing was forgotten and everyone got on with what they needed to do with no issues.
   The first problem we encountered was the tripod we brought turned out to be broken on one leg, and we didn't have any tape to fix it. We mostly found ways around this, as it could still stand somewhat, but it was more susceptible to the strong winds; our second problem, in that almost all audio is obscured by the sound of the wind. This is not a massive issue, as we will just rerecord dialogue and add sound effects, but it does add to the workload.

Armour update - 7/12/14

Unfortunately, I was unable to find the supplies needed in time for filming to complete the armour I originally planned to build. Whilst this is not a huge loss, and shouldn't affect our film in a major way, I do find it a shame I was not able to finish this as it was a nice extra detail to set the scene of our film. Hopefully, we will still be able to complete other aspects we planned in order to put across what we hoped to achieve. For this reason the originally debated idea of including a background planet in the sky will go ahead, as this will provide the less subtle evidence of setting.
