Production Process; EDITING.

Intro to Documentary

Thankfully, we knew what our beginning would be, as we discussed that it would be cool to start it off with the slates that are typically inserted into the first section of an audition. Since it's the first impression that casting directors usually get of performers, we thought it would be ideal to start it off the same for audiences viewing the documentary for the first time. 

I also wanted to include a clip of me reacting to a prescreen callback, without showing the screen to leave some ambiguity and reinforce the message that it's more about the inner fulfillment and knowing that I did the best I possibly could on the process, and now it's out of my hands.

Footage/B-roll

 Much of our footage was already filmed and it was only a matter of editing it together in the premiere pro timeline. At the start, we didn't believe that we were going to make it into a full fledged mini doc, but the footage was actually easy to integrate together. I had several folders in my hardrive that I could look into that were had already organized the footage into three components: dance, song, monologue.

Editing

The editing process is where I was really able to see this project evolve rather quickly, and where I got to experiment with structure although it was something that we attempted to previously establish, I trust in the creative process to lead the piece wherever it needs to go. Furthermore, I will be open to new ideas and a different formatting in order to make the messaging of the story more clear.
