What I found Difficult



Moreover, the hardest challenge of them all was filming in the dark. The light that we were supposed to put on top of the camera had a screw at the bottom in order for it to attach to the camera so that what we were filming could be seen. This screw broke as we were using it therefore we didn't have a professional light! This was overcome by another member of our group following around the camera man with the light, and having to make sure we didn't get his shadow in the shot. Filming in the dark, in November also meant freezing cold temperatures at night. I found this part very, very difficult as I was only wearing Alice's infamous blue dress with knee high socks. This was hard as I was trying not to show how cold I was in the footage. There's only so much we could control this, though, as my nose was red the whole way through! Filming in the dark also meant that I developed a chest infection, which meant I had to keep coughing every few seconds. This made filming impossible and unfortunately we couldn't include base tracks of me singing at the end. This was saved as we used colour filters within the editing process in the end, which not only change to the beat but also allow for a feel that the viewer is in a wonderland.
