Strengths
Filming went well. It took us a few hours to do, due to the change of locations but I think we managed our time efficiently.
We had to do shots several times, either because of our actors laughing or we felt we could get a better shot if we did it again or did it differently. We had one day of filming and then 2 shorter clips were filmed on another day.
In terms of getting our actors comfortable while filming, the technique of letting them run with a general idea of what we wanted to be said worked really well. This meant there was no pressure on them to remember lines and it stopped them sounding wooden, this was important as documentaries are supposed to be real life.
Problems We Faced
We did not have too many problems. The main issue we had is that after we had finished all our filming, we realised we did not have a clip for our first voiceover. We managed to sort this out pretty quickly however and decided that a quick time lapse of a sun setting (to relate to night and dreams) would be a suitable filler clip for an introduction.
The only other problem we had was our actors settling into their character. Henry struggled at first to get to know his character and execute it, but he got into it pretty quickly.
