Production 2- "Sorting Through Clips"

     Grace and I have sorted through the clips and chose which ones worked the best. It was a lengthy process, but a necessary one as we needed to fit the time limit. We settled on a setting of me working at my job, highlighting the extensive cleaning and safety precautions I'm taking. Since it is only the opening scenes, we wanted to have short, but meaningful clips spliced together so that the eerie music can play over it. The only problem was that some of the clips were shaky or out of focus. While it was a struggle to reshoot clips multiple times, we knew that we had to do it in order to put out a quality film. We learned that from each clip viewed, there is a realization of something that is wrong or that something can be fixed. For instance, one of our clips was me wiping down a counter with some cleaner. We ended up shooting this clip up to seven times just to get me to look natural while performing this task. It helped us learn to have patience when filming because not every shot is going to be correct first try.
