Re-shoot Movie Experience

 Hello! My group and I's movie project entitled, Signed the Watcher, has come along quite nicely. It's definitely been a process, a part of that process is re-shooting. This step is very common in the real movie industry so its no surprise that this is a step my group has gone through. We've experienced this when we made our music video so I wasn't too worried about it. As a group we collectively looked through our footage and pointed out what was working and what just wasn't. Which thankfully, wasn't much. We all pretty much agreed on what scenes or parts needed to be re-shot and then began to think about how we were going accomplish this, considering the global pandemic going on and all of the limitations that come with that. Thankfully the scenes that needed to be redone were at Ava and Morgan's house, so that is already two people in our group always accessible to help fix up those bits and pieces. We were even more lucky because Jake actually works somewhere just right down the street from Ava and Morgan. So one day after work, he walked over to help re-film. He made sure to bring the same clothing he did when we originally filmed and so did Ava and Morgan. I was on the phone with my group while this was happening to help guide and give ideas since I couldn't be there in person. Just like any other filming day, they did multiple takes. Those takes would then be watched over. Not too long later we were all satisfied with the footage that we got. I think we were all very relieved to have gotten this done. Considering at the time we re-shooted we did not know whether or not our final task was going to handed in or not, there was so much uncertainty because of the corona virus. But nonetheless we got it done and could now begin re-editing and finally have our finished movie.
