Production - Editing Final Task #6

 Done! Nailed it! Filming has been completed and all footage has been reviewed and is ready to go. I have a about 75 clips that I can use to edit my opening sequence. For the outdoor scenes, I did end up having to shoot scenes over the course of a few nights. I was smart on the first night though. I only focused on shooting the scenes that involved my dad playing the Ghost. That way I would not have to worry about redoing his makeup the exact same way for any reshoots. I shot enough clips that I will be able to have something usable when I go to editing. The other outdoor scenes were shot over the course of three nights. I was lucky enough to pick times and nights that saw very little activity on my street. 

The filming process was clearly pretty rough for me until I hit my stride. In the beginning, I was feeling very overwhelmed. Throughout filming I also changed as few things here and there, like I didn't exactly follow my storyboard or strayed from the original script. There were even a couple of scenes that have a few ad lib additions. They worked for the scenes, so I left them in. Also, while I got a lot of good clips to work with, I am concerned about what the finished product is going to look like. I discovered through all of this that Faith and I are maybe not the best actors. We had a lot of fun filming, but when the camera was on us, we both tended to get a little awkward and weird. I am pretty sure my dad's scenes will steal the opening sequence. He was pretty confident in front of the camera. Regardless, I am going to do my best to try and make it work. I'm going to go into it with a positive attitude.
