Existentialism Assignment - Production

Its been a while since I have updated on the movie for a few reasons.

Looking back, around Easter weekend (April 4th) we tried to film our movie which we had a fairly good idea about. Only problem was all the stupid technical difficulties:

1.) We tried to use a high end 1080p photography camera so we could have a high quality movie however, it took forever to edit and the sound quality was garbage.

2.) We found a microphone, but it was not compatible with the camera.

3.) We finally decided to use the art departments camera, but as soon as we got it and were ready to film during easter...there was no battery charger and we wasted the weekend.

4.) Once we got the charger, we started filming the day after, much to our dismay the cassette we were using, was dirty and about 3 min in to our scene it gave us a "clean filter: message which we ignored. Later when we filmed a good 15min of footage we tried to look at our footage but turns our the cassette needed cleaning and our footage was mixed in with whatever was on the tape. Another day lost.

5.) Finally we bought a new cassette tape and started filming :D...Only to change the movie

I think from the beginning of the movie pre-production till now, the idea has changed 1000000 times. However, some of it for the better some of it not. I guess the problem is that we dont have a team leader, a director. So everyone and everything is all over the place and messed up.

However, now we have a decent idea about our movie, it makes sense to all of us and were on somewhat of a roll. In fact just the other day we were looking for music to play during some scenes and I even created a beat for a sad scene of my character. I shall upload it on my next update post, probably when we will be in our editing stage.
