Re-shooting Blog: One of Our Most Important Scenes

 On March 31st 2023 Alyssa a and I's worst nightmare came true, we had to re-shoot. We didn't miss a scene but there was just something off. This was the scene where the mysterious man walks in on Chloe hiding in her bathroom. We used a tilt and for some reason it just didn't flow. The tilt just seemed very rushed and choppy and if were being honest we didn't have much time for the last clip. However I wanted a second opinion and called Alyssa. I asked her what she thought of it and she agreed that it didn't look right. Unfortunately for us deadline was just around the corner and we weren't;t sure when we would both have time to film, not to mention Alyssa lives about 45 minutes from my house. Thankfully we both had nothing planned so Alyssa was able to be dropped off at my house. Alyssa told her mom to pick her up around 4 pm which gave us more than enough time to film and re-edit our movie. This camera movement was surprisingly hard to achieve. I don't know of its because Alyssa has shay hands but, it wasn't smooth. After multiple tired we took the best clip and tried to edit it ti make it look smoother but that didn't work. We kept filming this scene for what feels like an eternity. Hours later my partner and I finally ended up getting a pretty decent clip. The tilt wasn't as smooth as I was hoping, meaning it was still a little choppy but with editing it looked pretty good. We finished the re-shoot around 2 pm which gave us 4 hours to complete the editing. However after all the filming we were felling pretty uninspired and creative that we decided to get a nice lunch. At lunch we watched our project all over again. to make sure there were no more kinks in our original filming. Once we came to the conclusion that our video was spectacular and was ready to be submitted we discussed how we were going to edit the clip we re-shot. Keep reading to find out how we smoothed the clip and made it less choppy, and to see if we came across any obstacles.
