Issues we may face.

A list of issues that we may run into and how we plan to resolve such issues

• Fight scenes looking UN professional and amateur - This is one the issues that came when we conducted some audience research, if we are just random throwing punches with no thought behind it we won’t look like highly trained assassins and more like two drunken people at a bar.
• Public safety/well being - as with our trailer it consist of a lot of weapon usage, the public may not realise that in fact we are filming, and go on to believe that we are having a real gun fight, causing them to possible call the police or take action into their own hand. We plan to avert this by conducting filming when there is a minimum amount of people about, and for who ever is not currently playing a role within the scene, to be a steward warning the public who is near of the events.
•  Running out of time - this is one of the problems that we can to face when making a first short film in year 12 media, we found ourselves filming for far too long and in the end we had to squeeze it all into one day which may of had a effect on the outcome of what we produced, to avoid this problem we will save ourselves a large time slot to film what we need, and instead of filming it all in one day, have different slots in the day were are actors a free to film. We will also do a shot schedule whereby will we work out how long it takes us to film scenes, and bring this all together to work out our total film time.
• Possible glitches and faults in the editing stages - This wasn’t such a big thing with our first short movie there were a couple of hiccups, however nothing big enough to slow production down to a fall halt. This is definitely something that I need to consider however. To prevent these issues from happening I will be practising various editing techniques on clips of film that I do not need, that way I will be able to fix anything that does not go right, before I put it onto our actual trailer.
• Mis-en-scene looking un-professional - When making a fairly dramatic trailer like ours, with a lot of different stereotypes and representation we have to makes sure that actors are playing the characters are presenting them correctly, otherwise the message will not be conveyed well enough for it to be suggestive. by placing things like tattoos and scars etc on characters it gives them a séance of toughness therefore the audience will be able to tell that they are the 'baddies'.
