Filming the advert

In preparation for when the children came over I cleared some room in my living room so they could use the scrap. First I got them to make everything for the film. This was extremely difficult as I had not anticipated they might get bored or not want to co-operate. Amelia made her fairy wings perfectly which were beautiful and Harry took charge in making a castle in the garden from a blind and material I got from the scrapstore. After this the children became quite uncooperative and didn't want to be filmed doing what I asked. They wanted to make their own things and if I work with children again I will certainly consider this. I got most of what I wanted to film but when the children got tired I didn't want to make them do anymore. As I was supervising them I could not spend enough time with the camera so the focus and position is not how i wanted, if I do this again I will definitely have someone else to help me. I was also hoping for Harry to read the poem so I could use this over what I filmed but he didn't want to. I have an opportunity to see them again tomorrow and Monday so I could try again then. If he really doesn't want to I will have to consider sub-titles or finding someone else to do it which will be disappointing as Harry has a very cheeky characteristic voice.
