Filming Blog: Resolving an Issue

          My group and I decided that we would all film on Sunday. This was a day that worked with all of our schedules. This would allow us to have more time to film and edit. Everything was going as planned, until we ran into a dilemma. The people outside of our group, who agreed to be in our film, could no longer film with us on Sunday. All four of them had somewhere to be, but said that they could film the next weekend. However, we did not want to wait until last minute to try and get everything done. If we waited until the next weekend, one of our actual group members may have been busy. This left us in a difficult situation, as we needed them in order for our scenes to work. We were determined to finish all of our filming that weekend so that we could resourcefully use class time to edit our film and allow it to reach its full potential.
         We knew we had to figure out a way around this because we may not get another opportunity to film. As a group, we collectively brainstormed different ideas. It was very important to us that the scenes made sense not only for us, but for the audience as well. If the scenes aren't comprehendible to the audience it will be harder to follow along and identify the genre being used.We went back into our script that we had previously planned out and began to make edits to it. We needed to make edits and remove some of the scenes that required more people, due to the difficult situation that we faced. We collectively came up with amazing and creative ideas that would work with the amount of people we had to film with. It took lots of thinking and analyzing to finally come up with the final edits for each scene. As a group, we were very relieved that one bump in the road didn't affect our whole film. Luckily, my group works very well together and we were still able to produce an excellent film, regardless of a small issue that occurred.
