Getting All The Fine Details Worked Out

 It takes a lot of preparation and focus to make my film. There is a lot of work to be done to ensure that everything goes according to plan with two shooting days scheduled. These are a few of the additional elements I had to think about when organizing my five-minute video. I still needed to figure out the specifics even after deciding on the precise locations for both interior and outdoor scenarios that I would be recording. Before filming at any place, I had to make sure I obtained permission to do so and that I complied with all local laws. I then have to think about the time of day I'll be filming each scene and make plans appropriately. Make sure that I possess all the required apparatus, such as cameras, lighting, and audio equipment. Verify the availability of each and every person involved in my movie on the days we have set aside for filming. Keep shared equipment and surfaces that are often touched clean and sterilized regularly. Hand sanitizer should be available at all times, and frequent handwashing should be encouraged. Make it a daily ritual to check everyone in the cast and crew's health, including taking their temperature. For any emergency, keep a first aid kit beside every location where you film. Verify that everyone involved has the right license to drive any cars used on the set. To protect everyone's safety, rehearse action sequences. List all the props that are required for each scene, including beer bottles, flashlights, and house and car keys. Make sure everyone has the correct costumes and bring them on filming days. Make backup plans in case the initial filming place experiences problems due to weather or other circumstances. For those who might not be able to make it on the designated shooting days, make backup preparations. Make sure that before the start of filming, all required documentation, including releases and permissions, is in order.

Re-filming

Image
 Baised on the reviews I recieved I decided to re film. I wanted to only refilm the necessary shots. I quickly found that this would be difficult. The first thing I did was make sure my group had all of the costumes and props. Ryan was responsible for the costumes for the president and one of the bad guys. Griffin was responsible for bringing a costume for a bad guy along with one of the good guys. Nick brought a costume for each along with the bandana. I was responsible for bringing the camera, the drone, and a few extra costumes. The forecast for the day was different from when we had originally filmed. This ment that we had to re film all of the shots that you could see the sky. These shots included the drone shot and all of the shots in the presidents house. I focused on starting each shot and ending them with a little bit of movement. I decided to do this to speed up the editing process. This movement was very little but I hope it will add lots of value. I also made sure to be a l

Final editing

Image
Today I finished editing.  This is hopefully the last editing I will have to do! I used different music this time. The music that I used last time was not as good for the new type of editing. The movement at the end of the shots changed the flow. It was noticeably smoother. I used lots of fades and wipe transitions. I do not like iMovie for the transitions. The rest of the program is excellent. The transition was not a deal breaker. Re-filming was definitely a great idea. The reviews gave us great ideas and what to make sure we focused on. This made editing way easier. I did not have to spend lots of time equalizing the audio. The dialogue was easy to hear. We took multiple takes of dialogue to ensure we had everything. I sorted through and found the best of each. I then had to add the titles. The titles were not hard to add and only took me a minute to fully add them. Overall I think that the movie turned out great and the editing was improved greatly.

Finishing up Editing

Image
Today I finished editing. My group needed music. I let Ryan pick out the music. He then sent me the music. I only used some of the music. This is because they were not all good. I then added the good ones to the iMovie. I did not edit yesterday. I decided to edit today. I decided to do this because my group would be together. It is easier to edit with everyone there. This is because my group talks to each other. iMovie worked very well for this. I used my MacBook to access my text messages. I used these messages to make the collaboration process easier. I would make edits and then ask my group what they thought. The transitions were the hardest parts to edit. We did not think about how we would transition between each shot. These shots may need to be re-filmed. Overall I feel that the movie looks very good, but I am going to get more opinions.
