Hey Cambridge, I'm back!! Today was supposed to be a smooth filming day, until an unexpected baseball game threw everything off. We arrived on set ready to shoot a crucial scene. Just as we were setting up, I got a notification. Apparently, my baseball game, which was originally scheduled for next week, had been moved to today due to a scheduling conflict at the field. None of us had any idea this was happening. Because this game was so important missing the game wasn’t an option. We quickly huddled to figure out if we could shoot around this, but the scene required myself for most of what we were filming. We considered filming smaller scenes which didn't include myself, but my partner was already set up for this specific sequence. Changing everything last-minute would waste time. The decision to cancel wasn’t easy. We had already spent time setting up equipment. We scrambled to adjust the schedule, but there was no way around it. So, we had to cancel today’s shoot. It was fru...
Hey, Cambridge it's been a minute.`I am excited to tell you that we have begun to start our final task. Over the past couple of days, we have been trying to plan between our schedules. Between sports, jobs, and our studies finding a time to meet has been a struggle. I have been in charge of planning where we would be filming. Starting a project of this scale is very familar to me because of my experience last year with this class. Having to coordinate with my new partner has been a new challenge. In this process, I've carefully selected my team member. Ensuring they are supportive and willing to assist me whenever I encounter difficulties. We've decided to shoot the majority of the movie within a week. Allowing us to dedicate ample time to video editing. This can also help us if we have to do reshoots of certain parts of the video. We've prioritized efficiency to avoid procrastination, aiming to maximize our efforts within the shortest timeframe possible. As ideas cont...
Hey Cambridge, I'm back. After all the scheduling chaos, missed days, and rushed shoots, we’ve finally made it to the editing stage. It feels weird not having to worry about scheduling but now we’ve entered a whole new challenge, piecing everything together. Editing for the first time, in a while, I expected a smooth process. We filmed almost everything, so now we just had to put it together. The first thing we did was watch the raw footage, and immediately, we spotted problems. An error with reflections of the camera. A shot where I blinked at the worst possible moment. Little mistakes we hadn’t noticed on set were now glaringly obvious. Since I started sorting through takes I tried to find the best ones. Sometimes, the "best" take performance wise had a technical issue, forcing us to compromise. It was frustrating but also really cool. One thing I didn’t expect was how much of the story could change in editing. A scene that felt dramatic on set might feel slow during e...
