Entry #26 Week Seven Post One

WE OUT HERE MAKING MAJOR CHANGES!

I am so sick right now but I am trying my best to pull through! I am also on drowsy medication so this may be hard.

Hey guys! Reem, Shelby, and I met up to finalize certain aspects of the project. For one, we changed our title to include an extra L. It is now "How the Stars Allign." This is for the purpose of just slipping in that it is inclusive of all zodiac signs.

I have learned so much throughout this production. Some of the key points are in my CCR, but here is an outline of tips for my audience:

  • Storyboard details. I thought I had drawn out every shot I wanted, but on site, I realized that there were many more that I wanted to take. To make sure you have thought about all the shots you want, go to the location where you will be shooting, ideally with the actors, and allow them to run through their lines. Everything still worked out in the end!
  • Label your Film and Audio! In the beginning of each clip and track, say things like "Scene 1, Take 2" so you can distinguish between them. Come up with a process! Will you leave the audio track and video running, even between takes so that you only have to sync audio once? Will you end both at the end of each take?
  • Be organized as you film. We filmed one of the most hefty scenes first, scene 5. It had 58 video files and 27 audio tracks. What we should have done is started to edit it and sync up the audio even though we were still in the filming stage. This would have sped up the editing period at the end by a lot!
  • Divide roles among the group. Not things that would interfere with the flow of the project, because emergence is a thing! For example, Shelby, Reem, and I had all divided up which scenes we would edit. This was mainly so that we can all sync up audio and remove items we did not need. The final edits were made in the final visits we made to each other to make sure everything flowed and that the style of editing was consistent. 

I hope this helps! Its been good. Signin off.
