- Describe how your film is progressing at this point. What are some of the challenges? Successes? Concerns?
We have completed our first scene and I am proud of it! It looks a lot better than I expected it would just because we had so many problems with the weather and coordinating all of our schedules and props. The biggest challenge was waiting for a rainy day and then getting everyone to bring what they were supposed to. It worked out in the end so I am really happy about our progress. I think that the rest of the filming will be easier now that the first scene has given us some momentum. I am still a bit concerned about how much time we will have to finish up editing.
- What exactly have you contributed to your project this week. Please be very specific.
My role this week was filming everything and directing a bit to get the shots that I wanted. I think that whoever is controlling the camera always seems to need to direct a little because whoever is controlling the camera controls the shots. I filmed the shots outside in the rain and also the shots inside by the lockers. I also helped edit by giving suggestions such as music choice, etc.
- What exactly do you need to get done next week? Please set a short term goal(s) for the following week.
Next week we really need to complete our filming which will be my job. I would want to finish by friday and start editing everything the following week.
