Problems we ran into whilst filming

In the finished version of our film we encounted some problems.One of these problems included the background music. The music we chose to use was a classical piece by Bach Prelude in c major, however we ran into some copyright issues that needed to be addressed before continuing with our editing. We thought we would be unable to use this certan track, so we asked our music teacher to record herself playing the same track and used that version instead to avoid any further problems. After we had gone through all that trouble we realised that the music was over 50 years old and therefore didnt apply to the copyright act.

A further problem we faced was getting permission to film in manchester airport. We contacted the management at the airport to enquire about filming in the airport. However we accidently mentioned the word "terrorist", prompting them to hang up immidiently. However we wouldn't take no for an answer, and we went down inspite of this. When we arrived at Manchester airport where we ahppened to bumped into a police officer, whome we asked again about filming in the airport. The police officerwas slightly reluctant but seen as it was red nose day and Jason was dressed up, we were about to use this is our advantage and use it as an excuse to film; this then gave us freedom and permission to rome the airport.

Finally another problem we ran into was the the costumes department, we wanted our film to look as realstic as possible but unfortunaly we couldnt get any air hostes or piolet outfits. As a result of this we were unable to film some of the shots that we had planned to take place in the the plane set.Yet again we didnt let this stop us, we just changed the idea of the shots and in our opinon changed them for the better.
