Filming Blog: Finalizing all scenes (No Additional Filming)

Since filming was complete, I made sure all scenes were "finalized". Because my group and I are done filming and cannot film further due to circumstances, I am making sure and checking through all the film/footage. Sometimes I accidentally select the wrong footage to place into the film itself due to so many similarities. Therefore, this process allows me to go frame by frame in deciding which footage was appropriate. When filming, every scene had to re-shoot several times before the scene was completed. This is taking into account all angles and camera movements. Sometimes an object in the background had to be removed and therefore the entire clip had to be redone. Other times, cars were passing through during filming which caused us to stop filming. This made us re-do filming again. Even more so, background noise was an issue. During filming, it was hard to make sure the location was completely silent. So, filming for certain scenes was then re-shot multiple times. Even the noise I wanted and set up for the film had to be re-done. For example, the scene was the cups fall. This had to do a lot with timing. During this scene, the cups were supposed to crash as soon as the lights went out during the party scene. However, if I were just a second off from having the lights turn out, then the scene would not make sense. So, therefore, the scene specifically was re-shot twice, which was pretty good. With help, I had a few extra people to aid in the lights and sound effects. So, overall, this was my process of finalizing all scenes.
