If I Had to Start Over Filming

Things I would do different:

I would have covered an even simpler script, having been given such a short time frame.

I would not have turned my camera sideways during video capturing, as this has caused more than a couple of headaches.

I would have been more prepared with specific questions for the interview.

I might have considered interrupting the actor's interview responses, during original capture, every time I realized he was getting off track from what I was trying to accomplish. This would have cut down heavily on the amount of total video minutes I initially began working with.

Instead of making sub-clips of raw clips and using all clips to organize my storyboard, I would just throw all the raw clips into a single sequence, and used the 'razor' to edit them from there, and after they were edited individually, I could go back and puzzle piece together a storyboard.

I would have used Adobe's 'story' function to incorporate my script in to the editing process more efficiently.

I would delete everything but the highest quality clips/footage right up front... first thing. Instead, I chose to keep way too much crap footage "just in case" which just made the whole editing environment more cluttered.
