Shooting, Editing, and Reshooting

I have found the iterative process of this piece to be a bit of a taxing one. Repeatedly creating and then recreating the same scenes because certain feelings were not communicated well enough, or because lighting was not right, or even just because of sound quality. There are a lot of things to consider when shooting video, and many things get into the way of making the shooting process easy. Here are some sloppily put together, unedited scenes from the beginning of the film. (Many of which I am considering cutting out, so as to include more of the high points in the plot.)
