Definately scheduling. Finding a time when everyone can film is a pain

The biggest issue for me is finding time to film. Also, I have to get the song onto the school computer and I keep forgeting to put it onto a CD to put it on the school computer. Without the song I can't make sure the timing is right in the first scene and adjust if needed. But other than that all is going well. Just the music and time to film are the problems.

The main issue finding time to film and finding a way to schedule and try to film all at once. But basically its scheduling and making sure to have all the equipment for the movie.

Finding a time to film is the most difficult thing to do. Also, the music I want is here, but I keep forgetting to burn it on a CD to make it easier to manage on iMovie. There are some shots with me in it, but I really can't do anything yet without my brothers. I may have to have some other people do it instead, but I'm gonna try to get it all over the weekend, which is probably the most open time.

So far, I think that my biggest difficulty has been trying to find good lighting. Also it is difficult to find out which of my clips/takes I should keep and how I should string them together. I found that I should just stand by a window when filming and figure out which clips are the most important and have some sort of connection to each other.

I'm having trouble finding time to film with the people I need, as well as maintaining a professional atmosphere while filming.

Unknown said...

Finding time to film is the most difficult part. Mostly because my settings are in school and people are usually in the way.

The biggest diffulty that i am facing is making the movie flow. Because i am showing clip after clip, the movie seems a bit choppy and unintersting.

refilming everything. i changed my whole movie and i need to get a lot of film in a very short period of time now. The good thing is that all i need for my new movie is a camera and people in the hallway, no real scenes, just random acts of kindness.

Unknown said...

The main problem I'm having is finding a time where everyone in my movie is available to film. So far I haven't gotten much done because people are often busy.

Unknown said...

Finding time to film while everyone is available is difficult, I may change part of my movie so less people are involved, which will make filming less complicated.

The only thing difficult for mine is getting my music in because i forget to bring my cd. I also need to edit and i think this process may be a longish one.

The biggest issue is finding a time when all of my cast can film at the same time. I still haven't filmed the judging yet. I need to film at lunch to make everything work.

All I really need to do is commit myself to my free time because pranks you can really only play once, that's actually probably the hardest thing to work with.

The biggest problem for me is transitioning in my film and finding pieces of footage that go well with the words that need to b e shown. I don't know how i will resolve this but I will figure something out so that the movie flows as best as I can make it.

Okay, so I have pretty much finished my movie but i have a few more things to tweek. The biggest difficulty I have faced throughout this entire experience would be editing the movie. I have a lot of clips that I don't need and it just takes a lot of time going through them and trying to see which ones work the best. Another problem I faced/ am facing is that my movie isn't very funny...

Because the movie is due next week its hard to make sure I have every thing I need for it. I still need to film a few more things.The most difficult thing is cutting it right where i need it. Also making sure that the transitions are clean and not choppy.

I have all of my footage but i am having trouble structuring my movie

Unknown said...

My problem is scheduling because I still need to film three more people who don't have the free times. Luckily though, I am almost done.

Unknown said...

It is difficult to get all the characters in my movie together at once. However, it isn't impossible, and I will prevail!!!

Unknown said...

I find editing the film for my video a wee bit difficult. I have an abundant amount of quality footage, but the editing process for my type of video is cumbersome.

DougRead said...

Nothing has been difficult for me, I got all my filming done early on and it turned out really well. The one small problem i had was getting the white flashes out from in between the clips.

Unknown said...

There is many difficult things but i am now trying to do all my effects and choose hwo i want to edit my movie and that is hard for me to choose as i dont realy know what works best

Dave Jiminez said...

The only difficult thing that I can think of that is getting in my way is the editing. I dont know what to do when it comes to sounds and recording.

Unknown said...

The hardest part is putting it all of the clips together so that it is interesting to the viewer. Other than that, everything is fine.

Unknown said...

The hardest thing for me so far has been to make my movie interesting to the viewer. The topic I picked was somewhat boring, so I've had to work really hard to make my movie fun.

Unknown said...

The most difficult thing for me has been finding enough teachers to dance. The only teachers that I have are Mr. Rhodewalt, Mr. Ergueta and Mrs. Thompson. I think I am going to use students also. Everyone else also brought up the idea of time when filming, this is also a huge issue because all of my the students and teachers in my movie are not always available when I am.

My movie is beginning to get choppy and time is also running out. I need help cutting down my clips so that they make sense, but are also funny.

At this moment, I was extremely pressed for time. As I said in my last post, I took too long to film only a couple of scenes which made the rest of my movie late. The biggest problem I had during this week was that after filming my whole movie, I never really thought about how I'd fit it together. I had a bunch of random clips that took me a while to mold together to form a nice flowing movie.
