One of the shots that we had panned to take we were unsuccessful in filming as we struggled to make it look realistic and without it the scene did not have enough depth to it. Our group all agreed that it looked as if it could have been anyone from the 1700s running across a forest in despair rather than a woman distressed after finding out that she had been convicted of witchcraft. When we realised this we became very worried as we were very limited with time.
We decided to change our location to the Lagan Towpath as we had easier access to it than the forest beside Bangor Abbey. We did not think that it was possible for our whole group to travel all the way to re-film the opening sequence and also believed that there would be more time wasting due to the fact that we would have to spend a total of two hours travelling back and forth, to and from our location. The new location was easier for us to travel to as we all live relatively close to it and there would be a lot less time taken up through travelling. It is also a very suitable location as it appears very similar to our original location and filming there would have the same types of effect. It is all surrounded by trees as well as having a large field which almost gives our protagonist more room for running around before falling. We believe that through this the scene may even appear to look even better than the previously filmed sequence.
A huge problem with the need to re-film was that our actress was unable to act for us again and we therefore had to go to find a new actress that would be suitable for the role, This was very disappointing as she had helped us out a lot and had willingly took up a lot of her spare time travelling and filming with us. The idea of finding a new actress appeared to be incredibly difficult and the limited amount of time that we had made it even more concerning for us to be going to find someone new that would be willing to film for us.
Luckily after asking around, a girl volunteered to play the role. We had found our actress and now were moving on to how else to improve the opening sequence. Our new actress goes to a drama club and enjoys acting. Our group all agreed that she would be suitable for this role based on her knowledge of acting and her enthusiasm to be a part of our opening sequence. We decided to add a new male character who would appear mysterious to add depth to the scene and cause the audience to become more curious. We then had to go around and ask who would be willing to help us out and luckily we found our actor without taking up too much time. Our group feel very relieved that we have sorted everything out.

When we made our plan of shots we felt that we had enough shots to create a two minute opening. When we looked back at our footage we then realised that this was not the case. Our footage was too short even when including the background information. We also thought that due to a lack of development in the scene, it appeared more as if it were a trailer rather than an opening sequence to a film.
