The problems we went through

There was a misunderstanding about the camera which lead us to not filming at all. Samira and I very excitedly borrowed the camera from Miss Georgiou and we were reassured that the camera is fine, we've got a new tape and everything is good to go. However, we were told my Miss that we needed to charge the camera so we were given the charger for it. I live closest to school so i took it home and charged it for abit. It was probably my fault that i didnt check fully if the camera is working but that is because usually camera's are supposed to be working because they are checked for any damages when returned to our teachers and this lead me to automatically thinking that everything is good. So, now i remember that when i did put it on charge, i didnt actually see the light flashing to show that its on charge but at the time it didnt occur to me because i was still made to believe that it is atually fine.
It was the day of filming and Samira, me and Salma met up to go to westfield and meet the rest of the team. We were all very excited and enthusiastic about filming, and out actor and actresses were keen to do a very great job. We got the tripod ready, and i tried to turn the camera on.. Samira noticed that i hadn't even put the fresh new tape inside so we attempted to do that. We opened the slot and waited for the automatic opening of it but nothing happened. The tape wouldnt even go in, there was no chance. To double check, we ran around the whole of westfield looking for a socket or a shop that would let us use their socket. We were declined by quite a few shops and this made us feel really de-motivated but with hope we carried on asking other shops.
Thankfully, phones4u let us and we were really pleased. We put the camera on charge but noticed this time the light hasnt even come on and thats when we knew that this camera is damaged, but not by us. We ended up taking it to curry's and pcworld to see if they can help. A very nice man took his time out to look at the camera and try different chargers but came back with the bad news of how this camera is broken. We were really dissappointed at this unfortunate day and told our actor and actressed that they can go home.

Everyone was really upset...


We have learnt from this that we should double-tripple check to see if the camera is working by making sure that it turns on and records.




We will hold another meeting with the team and decide on a new date for filming.
