Day 2 of Recording (Reflection)

Reflection

My day two of recording went very successful and was the end of production. I got all the clips in my phone of both days. This day two of recording was a huge success, I think I did a good job of choosing what I wanted to show for my film, a very productive day of filming that originally had one unexpected problem easily solved with a proofed plan-B. I didn't want to waste the day if I only had two actors. Showing my progressed chart of the scenes done below I completed all total shots for the three scenes.

Skills reflected, conclusion

My skills as a director has increased over time planning these events and I feel like a better leader than before with more careful planning and making sure there is always a backup plan. After the day of recording, I watched each accepted shot that was going to be used for the film. I compared them to what previous attempts had and put them into a google drive filled with all the clips in order with instructions to ease the quality of my editor.

I put the clips in order based on the alphabet so that my editor knows which clip goes next. I also linked in the script with my editor having the voice lines and music already. I think the production process was a huge success with minimal problems regarding technology thanks to some background knowledge. Now what's next is the post-production of the film, me and my editor will both discuss how to edit the certain shots that I want to perfectly be. My editor has lots of experience in editing and so do I, it's just going to be a check of what I want to see in the film.

Scene disinvolvement

One concern came to me while thinking about the state of the film. My film might be too long to contain all this recording. As the video is exactly two minutes long, the third scene might not make it to be seen. I put some time into thinking what the third scene will contain. Now if I don't show the third scene, then the point of the film will not really change. All I wanted to do is to provide suspense of a phone call that is shown in the scene.

What I was trying to do in this scene was to have a OTS shot of the phone that is the main focus of the scene. The suspense of the call then rings which I wanted to apply to this film. I have to act that this is the start of a long movie that is shown only of the first two minutes, I hoped that this scene would make it to show a conflict that will be revealed soon. Even if it doesn't make it, it would show that I didn't want to under achieve the time on the film. I would overdo my recording to not be in the situation of rushing to extend the film in some way. This reflects that scene three was always a plan-B made to prevent possible panic that avoided.
