Production Blog: Time Check And Review

 As we move forward with our film, it's time to look back at what we've done so far and see how everything is shaping up. We have a maximum runtime of 5 minutes, and we've filmed some important scenes, especially the exciting street race between MC in the Camaro and the rival in the Daytona Charger. So far, we've captured about 3:23 minutes of footage. Recently, we took the time to review what we've filmed. During our review sessions, we focused on the pacing and emotional impact of each scene. We wanted to make sure that the excitement of the race stood out while also setting up the teenage dialogue that we still need to shoot. The editing team put together a rough cut, showcasing the most thrilling moments and key interactions between the characters. We had some great discussions as a team while going through the footage. We looked closely at which scenes had the best performances and which shots created the most excitement. We made careful choices about what to keep and what to cut to keep our story clear and engaging. Our goal was to show MC’s determination and the tension of the race while also preparing for the emotional moments that will come later. Finding the right balance between the action and the teenage dialogue was crucial. We wanted the audience to connect with the characters and feel invested in their journeys. This editing process helped us see how everything fit together. We knew we had to stick to our 5-minute limit, so we focused on keeping the best parts and trimming any unnecessary footage. Looking ahead, this editing work will guide us as we finish the film. It has given us a solid base for what we want to achieve. We’re excited to move on to filming the remaining dialogue scenes and tie everything together. The teamwork and attention to detail have been important in this stage, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the film turns out in the end. As we continue, we feel optimistic about delivering a final product that really resonates with our audience.
