Week 11

This has been the most difficult week of the semester for a few reasons. The indiegogo isn't catching on as well as I thought it would which is becoming pretty stressful wondering how we are going to fund the things that we need for this project. Also when I looked at the footage that we took of the woman I was far from satisfied and this overwhelmed me a lot. I went ahead and went with it because I knew that we needed something and her story was really great and I figured the mistakes with the lighting could be fixed. So I cut it up and pieced it into a story as I did with the first interview, then I left it alone for a few days to see if that would help in figuring out what to do. Later I went back and took a look at it and began trying to figure out what I was going to do about the lighting. It was nothing that I had imagined and I'm not sure why we didn't realize at the time of the interview that it was going to look nothing like the first interview. So I ask there for hours upon hours tweaking it and trying to figure out how to fix it. I don't know much of anything about color correction but I figured if I played with it long enough that I could figure it out. this was a complete fail and I ended up not sleeping at all that night and becoming sick with stress. We still have a few more interviews that this learning experience will definitely help with. I won't let my vision escape me from now on and forget simple things that could potentially make or break the interview.
