Post-Production: Obstacles

      I finally finished filming the first part of the scene, which was the hardest part. However, I need to reshoot the bathroom scene since my phone's quality is significantly worse than my sister's, which is what I used last time. I also need to fix the audio since I realized entirely too late that the dialogue sounds super echo-y. I need to figure out how to edit that in premiere, which doesn't sound that interesting, but it can't all be fun.

     The quality of the footage shown isn't too bad, but some clips have great quality while other clips don't. I need to figure out how to even the clip quality out so that it doesn't look off. 

I'll try to make it work somehow, but that cutoff at my head is really
bothering me..

     I also realized that the shots of me during my dialogue are off-centered. I could just zoom in and try to fix the quality, but the top of my head's cut off and I want a close up with the top of the head showing, so I have to either reshoot or make all of my talking scenes with tight close-ups. Thanks, Divya.. Thankfully, all the dialogue with my sister/cameraman is good, so I shouldn't have to bother her again.

     An obstacle of a more psychological nature is that I HATE seeing myself in videos. I should've thought of that before casting myself as the star in my film, knowing I'd have to edit the whole thing and show it to a class, but here we are. The paranoid part of my brain's thinking that I should rewrite and reshoot the entire film so that I'm not in it, but I know that that would definitely create more problems then solutions. Plus, it's a bit ironic to reshoot my project about insecurities because I'm too insecure to see myself in it.

     So, overall, post-production's pretty hard. I'm excited to finish up my project, and this is the final stretch, so I've got to get it done.
