Filming... Was a Flop...

     So! This week I finished filming my combat scenes for my film opening, I had this grand plan and getting to filming took a while because I was waiting for props as making my own became too trying on top of my other school work. I filmed for about 3-4 hours in Weston's Town Center shopping center and came out with about 55 seconds of footage, which was fine because that wasn't the only thing I planned on filming, I was simply waiting for my car to come back from repair. Except... my footage was god awful.


    My app of choice was always going to be Adobe Premiere Pro for editing as it's what I'm used to in the editing sense. I really REALLY tried to pick out my good clips from what I filmed and use those except the clips simply weren't good footage. Now, most of these sequences actually came out well but for some reason about .5-1 second of footage from the beginning of clips was ALWAYS missing leaving out important movements. Along with that, the elevator sequence that my entire script started with was done terribly by one of the actors who wouldn't take it seriously (she's since been taken off my actors' group chat). 

    I'll have to refilm everything for these fight sequences when my actors have another available day all together, Friday morning has already been agreed upon. Tomorrow I'll be filming my car sequences with a drone I'm borrowing from a friend (thank you Santi!) and that'll make up about 40-50 seconds of my footage. I've had to entirely go off script for this film opening which is frustrating but I like what I've got planned so far! 


    Updates soon to come...
