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.

"Join This Group?" Production
Our first day of shooting was today. After our production meeting yesterday, things needed to be shifted some. The storyboards were changing up to shooting and are still changing, actually.
Shooting itself went pretty well. The equipment office forgot to give us the XR cable, so our first segment we shot with just the camera's mike. We went back before our next shot and got the cable. Now every segment we shoot we have we're shooting it both with the boom mike and without so we have good audio coverage. The talent worked pretty well, and it's really sorta sad that we can't review the footage daily. Because of the XR cable incident, we were running behind schedule. We were going to shoot the Facebook "screenshots" today, but since we're going to be in a computer lab tomorrow we thought we'd just do it then.
We're moving around a lot tomorrow and working with quite a few extras (comparatively). Each day presents its own challenges.
