This here is our shot list, honestly speaking, it is quite crude in nature but it gets the job done since the whole crew understands it. Looking at this list, I realized that our crew has two patterns when shooting. Shots that took 3+ shots takes are either at inconvenient locations, or are shot with my iPhone. Throughout the shooting process we used two cameras, a professional Nikon DSLR camera belonging to Nikolas, and my iPhone. Those two equipment produce satisfying results, the zoom and focus are as we wanted, and the quality of picture is great. The downside of it is probably the shaking, but it can be easily mitigated with a stabilizing software or a tripod. So equipment can't be our reason for re-shooting, it is the acting and general coordination, in fact. Shots 1D and 1C need to be re-shot because of the acting and a general blunder in coordination, then again, the fault would land on my lack of leadership skills as the director. So I should work on that on my next shooting sessions.

| I couldn't make my actor control his emotions |
 |
| At one point, we even got too much into the action scenes |
 |
| We also did too much testing and exploration of possible shots |
Even so, re-shooting won't be a huge problem. Our first shot of the project took a whole period to pull off since we needed to learn, but now, finishing a take shouldn't be any longer than ~25 minutes. With that said, we still have to shoot shots 3A and 3B, which needs to be shot near Emerald.

The best course of action would be to do it after school, I'm thinking Friday next week which is the last day of exams. We won't have any other tasks on hand, and we go home early, that would be the perfect opportunity to get that shot done.
