  Hi guys. This will be the last blog you will be reading about this endless production. I feel like we have been filming and editing this thing for about five million years now. We decided to reshoot almost the whole film so that it went seamlessly. Bad idea. Everyone was stressed, overtired. We were sick of being on the ground all the time.  My Dad decided to do the filming this time. Each of us could really focus on our roles. We all wanted to get this right to get a good grade. We took into consideration all the feedback from classmates during the last viewing. I was glad we had fresh perspectives other than our own.  My Dad wa s on a tight schedule, so it was good to have him to keep us focused. We had done this so many times now it was kind of robotic . We had kind of lost the spark until my Dad promised everyone hamburgers, fries and shakes if we got it done.  We really set to work this time. We were determined it would be the final and best take. When my Dad shouted it

  After having another group review my film, (I showed my original and my edited version). They mentioned some points that needed to be fixed because of the weather problems. They had more positive feedback from the edited version that we reshot. I wanted to have feedback from both versions to have some comparisons and ideas. The second and edited version seemed to be more popular than the first. However, there were still more issues that needed to be addressed.  The part where I was running into the woods needed to be reshot. I thought it was cool to film this scene at dusk to give it a creepy appeal. Turns out that it was too dark to see anything, and my classmates said it was too boring. I decided that the afternoon was better for the lighting and special effects. The leaf scene with the real leaves was much better received. The original film with the store-bought fall leaves got a comedy response from one of my friends. He found it quite amusing to find fall foliage in Florida.
