When our group started thinking about what the main focus of our documentary would be, we went through several areas, but ultimately decided to go down the technology and science route, with a technology detox. We felt that this idea was a strong one, as it is usually people who are older that decide to go through a tech detox, so ours seemed unique as we were going to have a teenager as the main focus of the documentary. When we were researching the science behind the affects of technology in our daily lives, we were finding lots of useful information, along with some possible case studies and locations to shoot. However, some complications arose, with colliding ideas and people not getting back to us for possible interviews, so we decided to end this idea and change it into just the general effects of technology in life, and the advantages and disadvantages of it. again, we felt like this was a strong idea due to it being from the perspective of a teenager, as they are the right ag...

It was the fact that the camera operators were having a hard time trying to imagine where the audience would be, and how far the seats would be going back. There was also the problem of the cables connecting the cameras to the gallery screens. As we did not have a full audience layout, we noticed that the cables would probably be cutting through the audience members, which can't happen in the live show.
We managed to get through the whole show during this rehearsal day, but we had to do it in two parts, which made it easier to shoot, as it was more manageable.
