Airport Scene Shooting

 Shoot 1: Reflection + Raw Footage Shoot Reflection #1: Last night was our first filming session, we already knew we would need more time to film in the other main location. Below are answers to questions about what we accomplished and what needs significant improvement. (The raw footage can be found below the reflection) Reflection and Summary Do we need more shots? Yes. For starters, we only got through around 25% of the film, since we did our recording at the airport first. Not to mention, the shots we filmed today will be used in the last part of the film. The first half is significantly more complex than the second half, which is why we started with the easier section. Can we make do with what we have? All we currently have is a few closing shots of the planes, as well as clips of walking inside the airport, which help establish a scene, but no actual story (beginning, climax, or resolution). Do we need to re-shoot any specific shots? Of the shots we did shoot, all were great. So, we will not need to re-shoot any of the shots. With that said, we are thinking of making some revisions to the transitions as we believe that the current version could include more. It is likely that, if we do decide to make changes, it will mean using some of the unplanning scenes we filmed today and getting rid of ones that did not turn out as well because of reflections in windows, where equipment could be seen. Was the lighting okay? Yes. The lighting inside the airport was good; however, determining areas that were too shaded outside the airport under the overhang were challenging to shoot with the shadows. Was the diegetic sound okay? Majority of the focus on these filming scenes were not based on a script but instead focused on capturing background noises such as planes and overcomes within the airport. Will we need to reshoot? Yes. As I stated above, we have to still film the main bedroom scene, as well as the establishing opening shot. With this in mind, it would be most realistic to assume two more shoot dates. As for when, we are thinking of booking next Tuesday with my parents, as that day works best for everyone, and then we are able to review the footage the following day in class. Raw Footage #1: After filming, we need to go over the shots and consider what needs to be altered. It is very important to show this footage because it shows the directors vision, and to appreciate the editing achieved in post- production. Here is the link to all our raw footage: 

It includes all the shots we filmed, even the unused shots. It contains all of them pre-color grading and before the editing.
