Difficulties

Difficulties Tzitlalith and I endured was cinematography, continuity, and time management. Our first days of shooting was not how we visualized our film as we could not figure out the right angles and had to retake plenty of times to get the shots we wanted. We also needed to find the right momentum because either I ran too slow or Tzitlalith was running too slow to film a tracking shot faced forward which resulted in the both of us needing to match the same pace to get the exact shot we needed. Another problem was continuity because we filmed pretty irregular with the time of day as sometimes we shot around five o’clock or other times at six o’clock and the sun was either too bright or it was starting to get too dark and we needed to fill in more shots which resulted in a mix and match game with the shots. The weather was also a huge factor because one day it was extremely windy and the next there was hardly any wind and it did not match the results we got in the extremely windy day or vice versa. We had a time management problem which resulted in rushed filler shots as we had a limited time frame from five-thirty to six-thirty. At times, we would only be able to film from six o’clock to six-thirty because we got to our location too late or we did not pick up our momentum during the film process and focused too much on different angles of the same shot. The days we did not film, due to personal reasons, could have helped us with time management, but we simply could not which lead to a rushed rough cut.
