"Join This Group?" Production

Principle photography ended Sunday April 6th. We encountered some difficulties with equipment and extras. Student productions should run on as few characters as possible. One of our principle actors we had to shoot without the boom mike, again, and without any lighting equipment. We also had very little time with him, so we may have to do reshoots. We didn't manage to get some shots, so we might have to rearrange the script a little in post.

We'll fix it in post.

A week after principle photography and we haven't been able to watch the footage. The biggest concern is most definitely the sound. Half the main actors were filmed without the boom mike. The other thing to look forward to is seeing how some of the more... creatively filmed shots came out. We needed some shots that scanned headlines, so we tacked the papers up to the refrigerator and put the camera on a chair and slid it across the floor. It'll be interesting to see how those shots turn out.

Editing should start on Monday, April 21. Hopefully we'll be able to screen the footage before that.
