Post-Production

        With there being only a few shots left in production, post-production has begun. I am beginning post-production early in order to fix any mistakes before it is too late. In the past, I have needed to shoot some extra b-roll footage, yet have had no time to do so. Already I have come across a few mistakes needing correction. In one scene, the character is supposed to be confused by the blinds being closed very abruptly and midday. However, during this portion of production the camera's exposure was not set up properly to capture the blinds being shut in an affective enough way. To counteract this mistake, I have re-shot portions of just the blinds being shut to make it clear to the viewer what is going on.

        Music has been another struggle that I am trying to resolve before it is too late. The songs I have chosen are still being used, however for one of them the beginning portion is just not long enough. Film trailers a majority of the time are synced with a song or two, which is what I am attempting to do here. One of the songs I picked has a nice beginning, especially for establishing shots. The issue is that this portion of the song is not as long as I would like it to be. In order to lengthen this portion, I am copying and pasting the beginning of the song to play nearly twice. The spots that I am cutting at are relatively easy to sync up with one another so the viewer shouldn't have any idea this was a problem to begin with.
        The other portion of post-production that I am working on are any animations I may need. Luckily, I have already come up with the idea for each animations text font, size, and general appearance. Now all that must be done is syncing each animation with the music to give the trailers a nice flow. With production coming to a close, I plan to finish shooting the remaining scenes at the beginning of this week so that post-production can be the main focus.
