Just before when i was meant to film, my little black boy actor has dropped out, forcing me to use my sister, who is still from a mixed background as the role of 'Sam'. Which did result in me having to change my script and changing all the 'he' to 'she's' and Samuel changed to Sam, however in the light of things, re reading my script Changing Samuel to a girl may of added another layer to my story, as the two little boys just wanted to be friends and play football without adult issues getting involved, turning Samuel into a little girl added the issue of the a boy and girl being innocent, without an romantic agenda. The trailer I made shows a slight untouched romance there, that both the little boy and little girl didn't pick up because of their age, adding to whole concept of naivity i tried to create.

What went well? 

On the day of filming, the list of camera shots and scenes i needed to do helped, it pin pointed what shots i need on the day and made everything go smoother. The lighting was good, with strong natural sun lighting without it being too harsh. Also I had my friend Jack Cook help me with the filming, he took me to the set of film and helped me with the angling of shots and organising the actors where to go, which helped me out a lot, i was very grateful, Also i visioned a certain shot of my actors, where they stand still and a do a 360 degree shot of them in the park. it looked very dynamic and was meant to be an establishing shot of my both actors skin colour, showing the contrast of 'coloured' and 'white' 

What didn't go well? 

The actors i used wasn't very willing to act, which made things a bit difficult for me, they was there and did what i asked them to do but the acting and effort was down to a minimum. However they was back up last minute actors and helped me to produce something, another problem i had was when i first got to the park, the same was sitting in the bag for a while and the lens needed a clean, and so because it was a bright sunny say i couldn't see what i was filming and if it was foucsed well, so i had to take the camera somewhere dark and watch back the first clip that i films, and because it was quite smeary on the camera it was unusable, this took up time i needed to film.
