Filming Process

Today, we decided to redo some of the shots for Valeria's part. There wasn't anything wrong with the shots, other than the fact that they are a bit longer than them to be. Since we have to fit all of our stuff into a certain time frame, we needed to leave room for the other parts of the film with maria's brother.  We want to be sure that we can include the psycho and show how he is coping with being in prison. After all, the purpose of our film opening is to make sure both sides are shown for about the same amount of time, so showing one side more than the other would defeat the purpose. I met with Valeria again so I could shorten some of the clips that we had. The longest part was the shot were she walks from her bedroom to her kitchen. Even though we liked the fact that it helped us establish setting, it was nearly 40 seconds just for that shot. We decided to redo that shot, and ended up making it only about 16 seconds instead, when gives us a lot more room to work with for Maria's brothers part. another shot we decided to redo is the one where she is looking on her computer. We want her to seem popular, so we decided to zoom in on her friends to emphasize it. Maria is going to finish up the last parts so we can edit it and finalize the film.
