Actors

While filming, a lot of students in the past (and most likely in the future) have made simple mistakes that have severely affected their grade. This could be due to:
· Costume changes
· Haircuts mid-sequence
· Poor lighting
· Drastic contrasts
· Poorly chosen and unconvincing props
· The characters performance

Although we are not being marked on our acting skills it could still affect our project as poor acting skills will undermine the overall flow and the realism of the mise en scene.
Although we had a 'student double' to help with our running scene, the rest of our acting (which isn't much) was performed by 2 of the members of our group. This saves time because there will be no need for screen tests, but their are limitations with this as they haven’t done any previous acting lessons other than the ones they did in drama in high school.

As you probably already know, although your not marked on them, simple things like having on a different top if you end up filming on seperate days (costume changes), or having unrealistic props that look homemade or like children's toys could seriously affect your grade as it seriously downgrades the look of the entire film.
