Unit 22: Single camera techniques

After finishing my pre-production I couldn't film my drama due to the location so I had to come up with a new idea - this meant I had to re-do all the pre-production last minute. It didn't take long as I just changed what I needed to and kept what I didn't but it caused a lot of stress.
During editing my drama the music I had previously downloaded wouldn't work on premiere or even encoder so I had to find some more music but in the end it worked to my advartage because I mixed copy-right free music together and made my own. Although not a lot of people could here sound of the ghost very clearly.
