Documentary Project #4 production/post-production

 Hiii! So for this project we did have some trouble being able to shoot any b-roll ourselves of any rehearsal processes or productions as our schedules just didn't match up (as I explained in my last blog). Because of this we had to talk to the owner of the Theatre Company we were working with, Robin Braun, in order to get some archived footage of any rehearsals and past productions and luckily she was able to provide us with lots of footage.

During post-production, we found that it would be very difficult for us to try to edit the documentary the documentary all together as we were in a bit of a time crunch especially since one of our group members would be out of the country the days leading up to when the project had to be complete.

 So, one of our group member, David, volunteered to be the main editor. This was also the most convenient way to go about it as he was the one who provided the camera so he wouldn't have to worry about exporting all the footage to someone else for them to edit. Funny enough, he was the one that would be out the country but he took the initiative to edit while on the plane. Despite this, he still kept us updated throughout the editing process ensure that the project turned out how we had all envisioned it.

Overall, despite some bumps in the road, the documentary worked out as it was indented to and we were able to follow through with the purpose of the documentary which is reflected in the final result.
