Its finally over "The Necklace"

Finally after about 5 weeks "The Necklace" is some what complete. It was due on Tuesday, having still 2 minutes left unedited I rushed and came after school to finish the job. I wished we would had more time to get in more shots but overall it turned out okay. I had learned a lot from this project. The one most important things i learned from this was to be organized as much as possible and work as much as possible without wasting one second.Also teamwork is key, if one person slacks off than the whole group is being slowed down. Seeing how difficult this project was I'm wondering what will be our next one, if it will be equally as challenging or even harder.

Editing the necklace

My group and I have finished filming our footage. Currently we are editing the film and we are almost done putting the story line together. We need the last scene and all the sounds in the film since we are only allowed to use folly and ADR. It is sometimes difficult to put in folly and ADR because you have to match it up as close as possible to the action. Right now me and the director are the only ones editing, while the other record the rest of the folly and ADR. Whole editing we have realized some mistakes that we have not seen while filming. We plan to re-shot as soon as possible.

This is the same editing software we use but this is not our film

"The necklace" Filming week 2

It has been 3 weeks since my group and i have been working on "The Necklace" by Ricki Herrera. So far we filmed about 70% of the film but lots of work is still needed. Due to our planning before hand we are finishing filming fast but we did have a few problems. For example on our first day of filming there were multiply clouds making the scene too dark. Also our actors kept looking straight at the camera which frustrated me while editing but we re shot and it is much better than before. We also goofed around a bit which wasted some time but we are still making good progress. My main concern is Foley and ADR. We barely have any Foley and zero ADR. Our main focus now is to finish filming ASAP and then concentrate all our effort on sound. Editing is not a major problem but it will take time to finish. I believe we will finish on time but we might have to rush a bit to get it done and work much more on sound.
