Changes and Challenges to our plans throughout the process.

There we many changes made to our film and plans completely turned upside down throughout the process of making the film. We originally had the idea of making a horror film, we still stuck with this idea throughout even though we did make big changes, these did effect us and cause some dificulties in some ways with time and more work had to be re-done although we managed to get it all on track.

Our initial idea was to do a horror film similar to the 'Blair Witch Project' we were not at all going to base our work on this but use the idea of having it based in a woods at night time with something horrific happening. Our initial idea was to have a group of students out at night camping, then they go onto hearing noises, then there would be a intruder and we would use one of the campers as the victim, being chase through the woods and so on.
Although we then went onto realising that this could not happen due to the way the weather and the time of year that it was. Because it was in the middle of winter the weather was very dark and dreary and the fact that it went dark at four o clock did not help either. The colleges equipment did not cater for outside filimg unless there was a good amount of light as they do not have lights on, so for this reason we had to re think all our ideas for something more appropriate and less risky.
We decided to change our film into a stalker type horror.
It took us quite a few lessons to re arrange everything and think up all of our ideas, a new story board had to be made and a new location had to be found, new props,music,clothign etc all had to be found to work well with the idea of the film.

This did cause some problems for us but i think that our new ideas are just as good and will work great if not better.
