Editing Blog: Time Crunch

On Saturday, February 29, we continued filming our movie. We filmed for a total of 3 hours and got about 3 scenes done. It was a lot of work to film on Saturday. We filmed in my house, but had to change it into many different settings. We made my house a dress shop, shoe store, and a dark, empty house. For example, we shot a scene with the main character crying in a dark bathroom as she washes her hands. Then we turned around and had a bright seating area at a "dress shop". After filming on Saturday, we continued to film today. Although we had came up with a plan to be picked up from school together, those plans fell through. Instead of filming around 3:00 pm, we didn't start filming till around 5:30 pm. We used as much time as possible and were filming non-stop. We knew we needed to get at least 2 minutes done, even if that meant compromising. We ended up only being able to film for about 2 hours before the main characters' parents came and picked them up. Fortunately, we filmed the majority of our scenes. However, since we are still missing some, our movie is a little choppy and doesn't quite make sense. We had to cut out the final scene, even though we filmed part of it, because it didn't make any sense. Since this occurred, when fully edited, our film only came out to be about a minute and 24 seconds. We also barely had any titles. In a creative way, we figured out how we would solve this problem. We put as many scenes as we could, without abusing it, in slow motion to add a few seconds on. Then we decided to just movie all of the titles up and fill in what's left.
