Reshoot Blog: Postponed

The information gathered from my peer reviews really guide me into the direction I need and highlight my weakened skills; with full accuracy, I believe this peer review is one of the best ways to understand my progression through the course and reflect on what skills need to be demonstrated better. The main problems identified in my peer reviews is the lighting in the last scene and the sound combinations in the background; for the scene with the lighting, the camera's battery had died, so we had to wait until it was charged enough for the scene- now reflecting on that situation, I will cautiously charge the camera more efficiently before I film. Next, the problem with the sounds was that they were overlapping and caused confusion; this is due to the music being approximately equalized to the same volume as the dialogue in the background- this is a simple fix as I can adjust the music in the background in the video with an app on my laptop. Other than that, most of the details given in the peer reviews match closely or exactly to its requirements; with this idea in mind, as I start reshooting, I will focus on lighting changes and sound quality to ensure I do not repeat any mistakes. Overall, these peer reviews helped me to focus on specific elements of the video that I would not notice that is bad/ low quality; this perspective enforces the idea of audiences and what they want to see when viewing a film.
Although, I did not film any new scenes as it had to be rescheduled due to conflicts with other actors' schedules; with many constraints on filming, I believe that scheduling is always one of the most demanding and time-consuming. This is because peoples' schedules will not always line up and then compromises have to be formed in order to continue with the progress of filming; this is also a part of the reason why it's time-consuming as I personally had to find free time to reschedule and plan how the filming would proceed, which takes much more time with the more actors and people I have involved. Furthermore, scheduling also has to deal with factors that I cannot influence such as weather, events (happening at the said location), and personal emergencies with actors; these factors are the hardest to deal with as there is really little to no compromise. At least there could be a degree of compromise for actors' schedules, however, when it comes to indeterminable variables, it is very risky to make a late compromise.
The place we want to reshoot first is at the house; during the scenes that have overlapping and loud noises in the background, we hope to influence clarity among background sound. I may also take into consideration filming in new alternative places due to personal conflicts with the currently scheduled areas.
