Refilming Day

I spent my Monday afternoon filming a few scenes I decided needed to be fixed. The scenes I wanted to refilm were the scene of me making my bed and me cleaning my window. I did not really like how the second clip looked, mainly because of the bright light of the window washing out everything else. In the original clip of me cleaning my window, the light from the window was so bright, you could barely see me. This led me to refilming it, which turned out much better. Although the light from the window is still very bright, you can actually see me cleaning in the clip, which is a huge improvement. In the scene of me making my bed, I did not realize that in the background, I had left a shirt with my school logo on it lying on a chair near my bed. There are specific rules that we must follow when making this opening sequence. One of these rules being that we are not allowed to have anything with our school logo featured in the film. With this specific clip, I wasn’t able to crop the logo out or blur it, forcing me to refilm it. Being forced to refilm the clip was a bit annoying at first, but I didn’t mind it at all once I was filming. A benefit of this was that I was able to clean my room while filming for this project. I love multitasking! Moving on, I was able to finish filming the two clips rather quickly and while the sun was still shining. The natural lighting was a big concern of mine. I was filming after school and was worried that the lighting may not be as good as I needed it to be. In my opening sequence, I am relying solely on natural lighting. Looking at this now, this was definitely not the best idea. However, it thankfully did not become a huge issue, as I was fearfully anticipating that it would be. Now that I am officially done with filming, I am able to move onto my favorite part: editing!
