The document summarizes complications faced by the author during the pre-production of a project for the Canon campaign. Equipment issues led to a change in the initial plan from documenting a singer's journey to documenting a band. Over the holidays, the author communicated with the band's lead singer to schedule filming of rehearsal footage the following week. While behind schedule due to illness, the author was able to photograph the band's performance and a duet. In conclusion, despite difficulties, the print and project went well overall, and the author gained experience with Photoshop skills for future use.

1. Evaluation
For this project (Canon campaign), I have had some complications withinthe pre-production side of
things. For example, there was either technical difficulties, unavailability, or no accessibility of
equipment. First problem I had was that when recording footage in the theatre withthe singer and
guitarist, my actor(NatashaLeadbitter) wasnotabletobe apartof the scenesIhad prepared.Because
of thisI thenhad to change my initial plan fromthe journeyof the videographertothe journeyof the
band. Therefore,tocontinuewiththisplan,Idecidedtodoaprintfilledwithphotographsof the band
playing,andIwantedtotryto doa videoof the band.Thiswouldbe somethinglikeatransitionvideo,

startedthisproject,because Ihad done some recordingforthe bandas theywanteda little videofor
their manager, so they were able to book a couple of gigs.
To arrange the times, availability, and location, I contacted Leah Potts (the lead singer) about the
details,andshe agreedand saidshe wouldbe more than happyto help.Overthe Christmasholidays
we exchanged texts the whole time, and we came to conclusion to shoot some footage in their
classroomthe weekIhad come back from havingcorona.Because of corona, I wasa weekbehind on
all the workthat hadto be done akawritingandrecording.Therefore,Ihadalotof worktobe caught
up on,so everythinghadtobe plannedverycarefully,tothe correcttimespeople wereavailableand
had to be done as soon as possible. Assoon as we got the rehearsal done,I spoke to the technician
on college campus – Josh – and he sorted the equipment and theatre for Thursday 20th
January. I
photographed the band performing and the duet also.In my opinion,even though there have been
difficulties,the printandthe projectwentquite well.Ihave learnedhow to use the photoshoptools
to an extent, because of this I will be using these skills in future projects.
