Hello my fellow humans,
Justin and I encountered a few issues during the time we were taping, but we were able to work through them. The worst moment came when the microphone went out mid scene. We didn’t realize it until we were through, so we had to retape the entire scene. It was irritating, but it ended up working out for the best because the second take ended up being better than the first. The timing was more natural, and the performance was stronger.
We encountered an issue with the light. We were shooting the chase scene in an alley, and the streetlights weren't bright. We attempted to try the portable light, but it was too artificial, so we shifted to capture the perfect blend of light and shadows. It took us longer than we anticipated, but when we finally did get it, the atmosphere was just right, spooky and tense.
Another issue was continuity. The ice cream was half-melted during one scene, but during the next, it was brand new again. We didn't catch it at the beginning, but when we re-watched it, it jumped out at us. We made sure each little detail remained the same, such as how much of the ice cream was left, which hand it was in, and how the lady tossed her hair when she turned. Little things such as these are very significant for making the scene realistic. Despite the issues, the shoot went well. We did capture excellent footage, although we did make a few last-minute changes. The technical problems actually made the end result turn out even better than it might have otherwise. Now, we can complete the process by reviewing it all and selecting the best takes to cut.
