Re-Shoot Blog: The New Alley...

     Yesterday, March 15, my group and I met to re-shoot. The first shot I did alone. In this shot I get a call and respond. I filmed this by setting up the camera. Once I finished this and Roscoe and Elijah showed up, I had them record the voice-over and edited it all in. Next when Zeke showed up with his truck, we redid all of the shots that include the truck, so his dad could leave after. We came upon the issue of the new alley during this. The alley we had used when we first filmed had been re-paved. There was really no way to fix this, we just tried to show the least amount of the ground as possible. Once we got these shots we told zeke’s dad that he could leave and we continued filming. 

     The next shot we filmed was the one where Zeke, the main character gets a text from his mom telling him that he needs to come home. We previously had this as a phone call, but decided that a text would be better. For this we just changed Roscoe’s contact to mom and sent a text messages. I filmed this by showing Zeke walking then, he pulls out his phone where he gets a text. I zoom into the text instead of an insert. Once we finished this shot we regrouped and made another plan to re-shot again. We would like to re-film the shot where Roscoe and Elijah tie up Zeke, if possible. We would also like to redo a few shots with the truck and maybe even all of the ones that show the alley, so we have consistency in our film. Overall our re-filming was a success. I have attached an image of the zoom of the text message to show what it looks like.
