After the filming days, Henry kindly uploaded all the footage into his usb since he has a mac computer. It definitely saved us a lot of time because we have 300 clips to edit. We had a lot of problems for the Friday night filming. First, we forgot the cement on the alley was not smooth, therefore, we couldn't use the dolly, otherwise all the shots would be wobbly and it will increase the chance for the HD camera to break accidentally. Therefore, Bernice decided that she will use her hand to shoot everything. Henry helped Bernice shot some of the frames because the HD camera was really heavy and the shots will be more stable and less shaky if a pair of sturdy strong hands held them. It was a challenge in some areas as we had to be flexible since there were only two very dim lights in the alley. The lighting was very important and we made sure each clip was clear enough to see the main parts of the shot. I thought we cooperated very well and we all tried our best to accomplish our own roles. Although we were very tired (because we film until 11pm!), we didn't lose our focus, we concentrated and filmed a lot of extra frames just to be on the safe side. In the last few shots, I was extremely exhausted as I had to wear a pair of 4-inch high high heels, but I reminded myself that it's for the group and I have the responsibility to complete my part. Everyone had cramps because we stood there too long, but when we uploaded to the computer today, we all think it was worth it. The shots came out as we expected and it wasn't as shaky as we thought it would be. To be honest, we're quite proud of ourselves as we all dedicated enough of hard work.
While waiting the clips to upload, we all did the voiceover with Andy's part. This was my part as it includes in the role of the sound director. I used a portable recorder and link it to a mic so that it will be easier for me to import the soundtracks into the computer. We spent about 15 minutes on the voiceover, again, I made sure Andy say his lines twice so that I can capture the best one.
By the end of the class, I imported all the files into the computer and edited into one soundtrack.
I was very principled today as I took responsibility for my own actions and completed them today.

I was helping Bernice with the make up.
I set up the lighting and a fan for making effects on Bernice's hair.
Great photos!
