Dark room - Problems

When filming our thriller in the dark room we came to a few problems. The first of these occurred before we even started. The photographic paper that we planned to use to print the picture on to was too thick to be put through a printer so we could not get our picture for the dark room. We decided just to use a blank bit of paper for our developing just to show the process.
Our second problem was that we left it very late to film our last part of the film. so we had to re-edit the whole film after we had finished filming. The soundtrack was not long enough, due to this issue we decided to put some more non diagetic sound over the top but not to edit the actual soundtrack.
Once we got into the dark room we needed to do an over the shoulder shot of the photo being developed. This turned out to be more complicated than first thought. The tripod did not extend high enough to come over the shoulder of Ed. So we had to hand film which turned out to be shaky but not to bad as it looked like a view shot from the person developing the photo.
The final problem that we encountered was the gloves. They weren't quite big enough for Ed's hands and so in the clip of him putting on a glove it looks like a struggle to get the glove on. However this does not look to bad as it is blurred and looks like the developer is in a hurry to get on with his job.
