Loves Labours: A Documentary

Here is the final documentary Christa, Lauren and I created!

We picked our songs from the vimeo.com music library - one which was paid for and the other was free. As stated on the presentation night, we wanted to incorporate more than just the footage we captured of the group rehearsing and talking. Sooo that is why we incorporated the other footage we grabbed from youtube of other Shakespeare performances. Similarly with the screen captures of Avrill's blog posts.

One problem I think we ran into while editing, was finding good footage of a continuous scene that was a really poignant or telling moment in this process of rehearsing and putting on a short play. The music helps us smoothly transition from one cut to another as we see the different moments during rehearsal, however I would really have liked some crucial moment to have been depicted that was our inciting incident or climax. But this group hardly argued! Everything went so smoothly.

Overall, I am very please with the documentary and the mood it evokes. I think while we were shooting, we definitely felt the jovial nature of the group and how much fun it was for them to perform and form the relationships you see in the documentary.
