Finished Editing

I have finished editing, just waiting for the sound to be done and then it's finished just in time for my deadline. However, my Final show is next week and i will be adding small effects to make it look a bit cooler. Other than that i am officially done, paper work is all complete.
Overall i am really happy with my project i's turned out pretty much exactly the way i wanted it too, the actors/actresses were amazing, i had help from some of my peers crewing for me and playing extras, as i had a little trouble with that, my locations fitted perfectly with the script and i especially loved the church. What i think could of made my project better is having a budget, i would of been able to get more actors/actresses of talent circle, so my extras and other characters would be more devoted and professional as they would be doing something they want to do as a career, rather than my friends helping me out. Also i could of got some more crew of talent circle as most of the time there was only three of us, other times one or two of my peers helped me out when they were available. I also could of made my actors/actresses days of filming more comfortable if i had money to buy more food or put them up if needed, as well as buying props and costumes rather than asking them to bring they're own. Luckily my actors/actresses knew they're characters very well and understood my vision so they're costumes that they brought with them fitted the show very well.

Pre-production, Checklist.


Consent Forms





Filming

Filming went really well on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, especially considering so many people dropped out and extra's were very unreliable along with 'crew'. In th end there was three/four crew on most days and two of us on the first half of the first day.

I started editing the Monday after however, i was editing on my macbook which only has 2gb of ram and there was too much footage for my mac to handle. After trying to fix the problem for several days, i decided to use a imac instead as my college tutor said i could borrow it, it is now back on track, fingers crossed it will be finished a week today. (although its not looking like :/)

Fundrasing

When it comes to my indiegogo site, that was a complete and utter fail! I think the reason for this is didnt have enough time or enough people in my group to help me spead the word and enough time to make my page as amazing as it could of been.

Thankfully my college alowed me to have a last minite cake sale to raise a bit of money and the rest will have to come out of my personal account, hopefully there wont be too much to cover.

Complications

It's been a hard two weeks concidering we've had a short deadline and lots to do, however, even after 4 of my main characters dropping out and one re-joing the cast it all seems to be coming to plan.

All bar two of my locations are confirmed, all roles are filled and we are nearly ready to shoot next week.
