Hey guys welcome back and happy Thursday! Today, I wanted to talk to you about something unexpected that happened. Last night, everybody in my school received the message saying that school was cancelled today. This is something that nobody was really expecting because as it turns out, a pipe burst in the front of the school, and everything flooded. This includes the carpool lane, the student parking lot, and even the teacher parking lot.
Although this is not good, just gave me some extra time to progress in this project. Today, me my group got together to talk about some final thoughts for the project and ended up doing a little more than that. We did have to film some extra b-roll and ended up re-filming all our interviews. We met up at Javier’s office to re-film and brought him his company shirt to make it look more professional.
Now, I know what you're thinking, “why did we re-film everything?”. Well, when we first filmed our interview, it felt a little rushed. On top of that, we decided to reshoot the entire thing to get rid of any inconsistencies in the lighting and the clothing that Javier was wearing. After we filmed, we realized that we ended up filming a little bit too much. Since our documentary must be around 5 minutes (with not much extra wiggle room), We had to decide which questions were more important to keep in the documentary.
When re-filming Javier’s interview, we felt that he was a lot more in the zone and ended up elaborating a lot better than he did on the first try. Now, it looks a lot smoother. Another thing that was better about reshooting our interview was that we filmed it in a continuous manner. Instead of a continuous shot with errors that would have to be edited out, we made it so that it was perfect on the first run. This made it a lot easier for me to edit since there was no real errors to have to go through and cut out. This also made it a lot smoother as well.
Today, Javier also had a big shipment coming to get picked up so luckily, we were able to get b-roll of him moving the stuff in his warehouse near the truck’s pickup zone. We also got more b-roll of the type of shipments he was sending out. For example, he was sending out Kodak FLEXCEL plates. I am not entirely sure what this is, but I was able to get b-roll of it lol.
Below, you can see a clip of our final shooting and some b-roll. If you watch it, you can see that it's a lot smoother than last time. You can also see that this is a clip before I edited out the question.
