Filming and Editing Journey Thus Far

Thus far, we are about two weeks into our final project. We have had only one day of filming, but that day was productive. My group members and I filmed a total of about 9 scenes. All of these scenes were filmed at one of our group member’s houses. Her house is the first location of our film. The second location will be the library we choose to film at. When following at her house, I handled most of the camera work. I adjusted the tripod for the different angles we needed to film. I also moved the camera and tripod around. I gained a lot of experience using the camera and tripod during this time. We have to film some scenes so many times because the actors either kept laughing or messed up. It was a fun time. We plan to film the second half of the scenes very soon, probably this weekend.

As far as editing goes, I personally have not began to edit the footage we have taken. All the equipment we have been using belongs to my group member Jada. We are using her camera, tripod, and laptop to edit. After filming we ran out of time and we all had to go home. We did not have any time to edit. However, Jada has been able to begin the process of filming our footage. She informed us that she imported the clips we recorded and has began to set them in the order they will go in. We plan to meet again to film the second half. Then, we will also edit as a group. That way we will be able to put our ideas together on the transitions we will use. We will also create the titles. We plan to do much this weekend so that we will have something substantial to present when we do peer reviews next week.
