Week 14

There was not too much done this week due to Thanksgiving break. I chose to stay in Wilmington instead of flying to see my family so I would be able to complete my film projects for this semester. 

Since my editor will not be able to meet until later tonight, I edited Waterfowl(ed) as much as I could. I added additional b-roll and I also began adding lower-thirds and titles. I was very pleased to hear that everyone in class thought my documentary had a good narrative arc and meaningful b-roll. I am very pleased with my first directorial debut. With all of the difficulties while producing this film, I have grown and learned a lot as a documentary filmmaker. A good portion of our later footage looks stunning, but I wish this was the case for the entire film, but you live and learn!

We have also completed budgeting from pre-production, production, and post-production costs. Druscilla and I also discussed changing the postcard design I originally created. It is a bit murky and our website, indiegogo, and film are not as mundane.

I have scheduled an additional editing session with Luqi on Thursday, but I believe we may be able to complete the majority of the film by tonight. I am also hoping to submit it to the Student-Screening tomorrow afternoon.
