Whilst editing our film, we have found a major continuity error regarding costume.
When we see Sam come in from college, he removes his hoodie before going upstairs to the bathroom.
We then see him come downstairs to the fridge, still not wearing a hoodie, whilst he makes his dinner.
However, after preparing a ready meal, we then see Sam put his ready meal in the oven wearing the hoodie. This error has come from filming shots on different days, and has caused us a problem in editing.
To get around this, we either had the option to re-film all the shots in between our flashbacks without the hoodie, or try and get around this issue in editing. We decided that re-filming would take too long to do and would be difficult for us to organise, so instead we have decided to change the order of our shots. Instead of seeing Sam come in from college and head upstairs before coming down to eat, we are going to change the order so that he comes in to the kitchen, and then heads upstairs so that when he is then wearing a hoodie, it is more plausible that me may have simply put it on before finishing his meal.
We realise that this is not ideal, but we are hoping that it will not affect the film overall as it still makes sense in the new order.
