WEEK 8

Week 8

We had originally planned to start the editing process this week, but after reviewing our rushes with Toula, we have decided on some reshoots. There are no major problems with the film; it’s just small issues that we can fix to make it a lot better. These include steady camera work, better zooming, and also one of our scenes has barely audible sound (that one was actually a bit of a major issue)So, we spent this past week re-filming those scenes, which this time took a lot longer than expected, as we wanted to get them absolutely perfect.
On Toula’s advice we also explored using cue cards, though most of the group ended up finding them distracting, as we tended to look at the cards instead of the camera during our scenes.
Later in the week we also filmed our opening and closing scenes, which are shots of the street outside INSEARCH, where we can see students walking around and talking. These last scenes are recent additions to the script.
