Filming and editing The Meeting was hands down my favorite experience of second semester. The chaos of finding actors, locations, and crew with such a tiny budget in under two months was both exhilarating and a little stressful, but honestly, I loved every moment of it. One of the biggest challenges was adapting the script to match the location options I had, which led to a lot of revisions, but it was a fun process molding the script to fit the actors and settings I chose.

​

During production, we stayed on schedule, and we even had time to do a few extra takes. The editing, though, was by far the most challenging part. Because of my limited budget, the audio quality wasn’t ideal, and it made post-production tougher than I anticipated. It was hard getting the project to where I wanted it to be with the short turnaround and the audio issues, but it was a huge learning experience.

​

For next time, I’d love to have a bigger budget, bring someone on board to handle the audio, and definitely get some extra help with the editing.
