Film Planning - Limiting factors for original shoot

Problems with the shoot included -

1. Lack of required cover from trees/bushes for time of year
2. Temperature in January made filming tough, especially with the chosen costumes
3. light was very inconsistant, required a lot of maintinence on shoot
4. The general public were about, and to make it realistic we had to wait for them to continue with their business and move out of shot.
5. The environment was not a set, and therefore was not perfect for the required tasks.
