That's A Wrap

I cannot believe that this semester is already over and that we have a finished narrative film.  When I play this dvd it will remind me of the grueling hours of arduous work in the dreaded sweatshop/editing lab (but on a serious note they need to leave the air conditioning on over the weekends.. it is outrageous and intolerable when the lab is full of people).  I have learned how to cope with problems and how to work with what you have.  We had an entire scene without sound at all and had to completely pull it together, which I think worked better than I imagined it would have.  Although these situations were not ideal, I think that the end product was something that we can be proud of.  The color correction stepped up the quality of our film immensely.  Cutting out lines of dialogue improved the film as well, because I remember reading the script and thinking certain lines were cheesy.  With our refined cut, I think that there is less on the nose dialogue.  Overall, I have had a great time working on this project and can't wait to see what becomes of it if Taylor decides to enter it into a few festivals!
