Filming Day 2 - Continuity Problems

We encountered difficulties during the second day of filming, as the continuity of both of our filming days proved hard. We had to take great care to continue the Mise en Scene of our footage, making sure that the poker chips, glasses and costumes of our characters matched with the footage that we already had. We also encountered problems with the appearance of some of our characters, as the amount of stubble on our main character differs significantly, however we have been able to successfully mask this through the darkening of our footage using a 'Luma Key'. Also, the black tie that our main character wore in the original footage was misplaced, however we were luckily able to find a very similar one, and the difference is very subtle. The set similarly had to be recreated to the same standard as our original footage, but we luckily managed this. Whilst we unfortunately encoutered continuity problems, the majority of our second filming day was a success, and scheduling and planning before hand allowed us to get all of the shots that we needed to a good standard.
