Part 4: Finishing Up Production

Post Thanksgiving Work

    The week back from Thanksgiving break rolled around and it was time for us to get the rest of the footage we needed to put together our documentary. I had a club meeting on the Tuesday we were filming the interviews with the heads of lighting and sound, so Ace and Gabi had to start and get one of the interviews and some of the b-roll.

 Once I got back, we had around an hour to do the second interview and get all the necessary b-roll with the whole group being present. In that hour, we got the second interview with the student lighting tech at our school, and got b-roll of the two using the equipment. I honestly found this part of the project the most interesting because we got to actually see what it is that the people in tech do to make things on stage happen. It was really cool to see the auditorium from the perspective of the sound and lighting booth. 

    Once we finished filming that day, Ace was in charge of doing the editing while me and Gabi helped to review the editing and give advice due to the two of us having too much going on to be able to help more. We came up with the name "Mic Check", and I sent Ace a couple more clips of archival footage. On Friday night, we all got on a group call to do a final review and viewing of the finished product before submitting the documentary. Once we reviewed and watched we sent in our project feeling confident in what we had created.
