Week 9

This week for our group was mostly a re-grouping week. We discussed the direction we have come so far and where we want to go with the rest of the film. We also found a few more potential subjects, which is exciting. We definitely want to include more interviews to get the more personal feel that we were originally going for. The only thing now that we have to finalize is the filming schedule for the next interviews. As for the editing, Hannah has been doing a great job organizing the footage into a cut that she wants the final piece to model. It's difficult to have a rough cut when we don't have all of the interviews yet, but we still have time which is reassuring. We still have some progress left, but after meeting this week I think we all feel a little bit more confident about the film.

Week 7-8

This past week or two was our spring break, and all of us had separate plans which created a lull in our production schedule. I think overall our film has been great so far, but we have reached a point where we need to continue brainstorming to add a bit more, whether that be a new subject or more creative b-roll or something. We have been lucky to not have many (or any, really) hiccups during our production, so hopefully our start of editing will be the same way. We have already started sorting through the footage, but it will be nice to see some of the structure of the film come together over the next couple of weeks. We also are discussing who we would like to seek out as our next subject(s) and the direction we are trying to head in. We have a good chunk of work left to put into our film, but we have successfully stayed on track with our schedule, so I am happy to say we are not behind at all. Spring break put a sort of pause on production, but I know we are all ready to get back into the swing of things with our production for the next few weeks.
