Difficulties Encountered

There were a few difficulties that Jackie and I encountered throughout this project. Because we had a three year old act in our film, it was a little hard getting her to cooperate and do what we wanted her to do. For example, Amzie was very camera shy and was nervous to play while we were recording her. To help this, I played on the playground with her for a little bit just to get it off her mind. We kind of tricked her by me telling her that I was a little tired. She kept playing and that is when I told Jackie to start recording. She did see the camera, but it did not effect her which was a relief for us. As for picking the perfect day to film, this was a little tricky for Jackie and I. The weather had been gloomy and not very film-worthy. However, there happened to be one day that was supposed to be sunny and clear and it actually worked out with all of our schedules too. It only took one day to film which was a plus. One last difficulty we encountered was having the motivation to do this project as a whole. Since it is a lot of work, it is hard for us to have to motivation to get on the ball with it. However, with Jackie and I encouraging each other throughout the process, that has definitely worked out better.
