Finn Readies for the Final Goodbye

It appears that I have officially developed a love-hate relationship with this project of ours.

 

I did not realize how difficult the whole process was actually going to be until we hit the 'record' button. From the start, we knew this was not going to be easy due to the amount of dialogue, the length of the movie, and the fact that our actors were also students and had previous engagements to attend to. However, I still held out hope that everything would turn out all right and it somehow did.

 

When Ms. Blake could not be our actress, we quickly sprung into action and found a solution by asking Mrs. Kreiselman if she would like to fill in the spot. Not only did Mrs. Kreiselman agree to be our much needed principal, but she also did a magnificent job, taking the role very seriously and memorizing her lines perfectly. This wonderful turn of events quietly brought me inspiration because it made me believe that a situation that seemed hopeless could actually be fixed and become quite extraordinary.

 

So as Mrs. Kreiselman as our principal, we managed to successfully shoot the remaining scenes in our movie. This time, everyone took their jobs seriously and so we were able to finished within an hour which I consider an accomplishment because the scene is an extremely important part in our movie. 

 

As we filmed the scene, I also noticed the fact that we all of us come up with new and bright ideas right on the spot. Although we already have a list of the shots and angles we need, as we film, we end up adding extra stuff. Whether it's a new angle we want to try, or an extra insert shot, we never disappoint ourselves regarding creativity. It is because of these little bits that I enjoy film so much. By working in a group, each member is able to learn all sorts of new tricks from others which only helps them. These impulses are the best because it's evidence that we all still love film in spite of the stress that comes along with it.

 

Sure, we all stayed for hours after school, filming and editing like crazy. Sure, my group all stayed at my house for hours :). Sure sometimes crumpled under the stress, but I believe it will all be worth it because I feel like our completed project will be wonderful.
