Actor Growth

Okay, this editing is like non stop so far. It seems at this point it is mostly a sound issue as we are trying to fix up audio problems and using the appropriate music and sound effects. Back to work as this is due tomorrow.

Wow, this editing is going to be more challenging than I thought. I guess this is an example on how it is hard to be the actor and director in a film, especially with a time crunch. A lot of the footage had some framing that was definitely not what I envisioned or hoped it would be.

Therefore, we are actually spending a lot of time just piecing together footage that we have and trying are best to make sense of them.

So now that we have the entire film recorded it’s time to piece it all together. There are some interesting obstacles already though. Now since we had an extreme time crunch and I had to act as the director too in many ways, I couldn’t exactly see all the footage since I was in most of the scenes during taping.

Apparently there are some parts for an action scene that wasn’t even recorded. Yup, I guess the person accidentally forgot to hit the record button or something. But it looks like we had enough footage to still make sense of the whole scene. Tomorrow, we are going to spend even more time editing everything.

Not much to say, except I will be busy filming all day. Let’s see how this goes.

Well, I’m pretty tired as I have been planning for the filming tomorrow. Gonna head to sleep as I need to wake up early in the morning.

Okay, after a lot of planning we have decided to shoot the entire movie in one day this Friday. Looking at the type of shots we need and what we have written it seemed like the logical thing to do time wise.

While it is looking to be like a 14 hour day, it looks like there is at least 3 hours worth of break time too as if we finish earlier we have to wait until the evening to do a night scene shot. I still had to audition one more person too, but for the most part everything is coming along.
