Reflection No 3

This last week of editing is lessening and lessening. Last weekend, my group filmed the last portion of our film. The shots filmed were the running montage, and the bathroom scene. Watching the put-together film in after-school editing was truly amazing. Our actors, Allison and David, truly delivered.
What we have to do left is cleaning up the edges. We're 50 seconds over the time we'd like to be, so we need to cut down on some of the longer shots. Also, we need to re-record Mr. Bustillos' radio broadcaster voiceover either on Tuesday or Wednesday.  We also need to make sure that with every edit we make, we keep the music and audio lined up.
This week we're concentrating on coming in at every possible moment to finalize and polish our film, which I'm really proud of. I'm coming after school and before school several times this week, as is the rest of my group. Hopefully our work will be worth it and we'll produce a stellar film.

1st Reflection

So far, our film is progressing well. We first filmed two Sundays ago in Downtown Silver Spring and on the metro, and the shots we got were clear and god quality. tro was shut down, so we weren't able to film as much as we wanted. While we were filming, the red line on the metro was shut down so we weren't able to film as much as we wanted to.

We were going to film again last weekend, but there were unforeseen problems and one of our actors got sick. Our plan is to film on the 18th. I know it's cutting it close, but it's the only time we're available and we can still get it done in time because of the progress that we made. We've been editing quickly and efficiently and we're working on importing sound now.

My job is director. I helped set up shots, got people in the right spots, and made decisions while editing. I contributed my opinions on which shots to use and what music we should pick.

In the coming week, we need to be as efficient as we have been while editing. We will do what we can without the final scenes, such as adding all sound, adding credits, creating a movie poster, and finely editing what we have so far.
