Taking the right steps

We finally had the opportunity to film after a week without any fresh footage. Unsurprisingly, we had a lot of work to do. The scenes we had to reshoot were one thing that was absolutely given top priority for us. Some clips just did not meet our needs after analyzing the existing video and having multiple discussions. They were either shot in a way that was confusing to the audience, overly loud, or fuzzy. Reshooting was absolutely required, and it gave us much better material to develop. Today, we concentrated on recording the training montage that will appear in the movie. The actors had to play volleyball with each other while being photographed in a number of close-ups. 

We replicated the practice run's passing, setting, and hitting drills in our practice sessions. They viewed our playing from a variety of perspectives. In order to acquire decent pictures for the camera, I concentrated on how my hands and arms moved when I received the ball. Several shots of the ball in motion were also successful. The ball sometimes ended up in bushes or hitting the sand, which was symbolic of the experimentation and failure we wanted to emphasize in this section. We recorded multiple takes of this. We were told to perform poorly in some games on purpose. We want to highlight how Randy's character develops during the montage. To do this, we recorded shots of him making mistakes and succeeding in a variety of tasks. We also recorded a few takes in which Randy might have performed a task imperfectly or without using the right approach. To make sure we have a variety of viewpoints of the performers, several takes were recorded. When all of these clips are combined, it will demonstrate Randy's skill development over the course of the movie.
