Weather

Throughout our storyboard and mind-mapping processes, we have always imagined that the outdoor scenes would take place in sunny weather. However, being in mid-November means that winter is now upon us and there are now very few sunny days in which conditions are ideal for our film.
This is becoming a major issue for us. Renting police costumes means we have a few weeks to film before having to re-rent them. There are also few days in which both myself, Sam, and Gareth are available to meet up at the same time. Add to this the fact that the weather has to be nice and we are facing a serious problem, with very few chances available to film in perfect conditions.
We do however have a few scenes that are filmed indoors, and therefore weather conditions are irrelevant. We could therefore save these scenes for when the weather makes our other scenes impossible. Although this may disrupt our filming schedule, we may have no other choice.
If the weather stays consistently bad, we may have to rethink and adapt a few of our scenes. We could change ideas so that they take place indoors, or change them so that it would make little difference what the weather is, or adapt part of the storyline so that rain or wind in particular scenes would actually make sense.
Weather is an inconsistent part of the film-making process that we have learnt that we must be prepared for.
