There was scheduling that we needed to figure out, and our schedules didn't exactly align. So, we split the filming up. With how the script was structured, the use of parallel cutting help divide the work up. I had shot the military base scenes with Thomas and Luca, while Hannah shot the shots set in the home with her friend. Our own filming time was pretty short and I had to shoot in a way that I could piece it together strategically in editing. As Hannah shot, she followed the script closely and added her own direction into the shots which made them feel different from the quickly paced shots I had made. I was happy with how they turned out. In editing, a lot of changes were made. For example, we had filmed a shot of a hallway with an alarm when we filmed. However, the shot didn't turn out how I wanted. So, I constructed a digital recreation of a hallway with an alarm to replace it. As I laid the shots out in sequential order, I learned a LOT about pacing. In our rough cut, we had some pacing issues. The pacing of some scenes was given as feedback to us when we handed in our rough cuts. Not only the pacing, but one of our props didn't look all that convincing. Eventually though, I ironed those problems out and made something that was pieced together a lot better. I also had trimmed down parts that weren't convincing and replaced them with shots that explained the story more. The effects were a tricky part too. I had to learn how to use what I had and key certain elements of shots out and replace them. This project turned out as good as I could've hoped, and I had learned a lot about the importance of pacing, immersive sound, and editing as I worked through this short film.]]> 2022-10-31 21:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/WadeStarace/productionandeditingreflection/wish/2363961715
