Production update

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to use our previous location, so we had to think of a solution. We tried to keep the script as close to the original as possible, changing the location from the living room to a bedroom.

We have now shot all of the footage that we possible could. The lighting of the room was not ideal, but this can be overcome with colour correction in editing

Also, we have now begun editing our sequence

We plan to view the footage in the editing room tomorrow (8th March) before going to the location and shooting the rest and reshooting any shots we need
