So basically we changed A LOT! After looking at all the footage we had filmed over the past month, I decided we needed a new look on the 5 minutes that we are creating for this documentary. Our original idea was to incorporate about 2 minutes showing practice and prep for the play and then 3 minutes showing backstage and the actual show. But… i hated the interviews we took for backstage. They all seemed unplanned and a mess so there was no point in including bad footage. Also, lots of the shots that we took at the actual play had lighting issues due to the fact that the spotlights were SO bright. I honestly think my partner almost killed me when i told her i hated the interviews but after a few minutes of watching them she agreed.
We now have a better idea: The first 5 minutes of the whole documentary.
WHY?
- New interviews all focused on prep and practice for the show
- We could show both the hard part of practice and the fun part
- We had sooo much footage of practice
- It was noticeable how much time this drama team puts into selling tickets and prepping everything for the show.
Unfortunately, we had to replace one of the actors we filmed but we found another one to replace her and the interviews came out just as amazing.
I am very very very excited for more editing this weekend…
