Success, Challenges, Targets for next week.
This week we had huge success in the progression of our short film. This week we have been able to finish production of the short film and get scenes re-shot as well as finally shooting the date scene. This was a massive boost for us as we were able to now move forward with post-production and remain on schedule. In terms of post-production, we were able to start to add some effects on to the timeline, and work with audio more, which included the music and sound effects we wanted to add. In terms of the challenges that we faced, were mainly to do with the female actor that we needed for the date scene of our film. We unfortunately had 2 people cancel on us which lefts us struggling some what. However we were able to ask another person, which was happy and available to help us out. Once we did have an actor to play the role, the actual shoot was very easy. The targets for next week mainly sit with the sound, we need to start adding in the dialogue between the characters from various scene, and further start to dub in some of the foley sound that we want to use. We further feel that by the end of next week we are likely to complete the short film and remain on schedule.
Team and individual performances, Contingency plans.
The performances this week were really reliant on the actors that helped us out. This is because we further had to people to once again come down to southend because we needed to re-shoot the scene, this we knew would be more aggravating for them. That being said though, the actors were superb and performed at a high level, listening and doing exactly what we needed them to do, and actually they helped us creatively with some of the scenes as well. Through their high performances it did mean that we was able to get the production of the film done. In terms of contingency plans, we did not have to use any other locations this week, ideally from the start of the film we have had to use a contingency location in southend as opposed to Brighton, but within southend there were no contingencies there. In stead we was able to film exactly where we wanted to.
Monitoring Final Product, Problem solving, Quality control.
As for monitoring the final product, we are spending a lot more time editing and in post, which has allowed us to keep a close eye on the quality of the final product and how it is shaping up. Fortunately with the re-shoots done on the same day as the date scene, there was a smoother flow in the scenes, which only improved the aesthetic of the short film. In terms of problem solving, we didnt have many big issues, the storage space on our accounts is low, which means we cant download music straight on to the mac. This does mean that we have to use a separate pc to download the music and sound effects, and then further use a usb/sd card to transfer it over into the macs, final cut file. Whilst this is a long process we move around this by downloading the music the night before and bringing various pieces of music to the editing sessions. As for the quality control we have constantly been going through the various aspects of the film to make sure they are to near professional standards. We aim for this to be our best piece of work, so we are constantly looking through it and cleaning things up constantly, along the way. We further have been watching the short film, all the way through at the end of the session, to recap what needs doing and what has been done well.
