On Friday the reshots and filming were much smoother since we already knew what to do with the scene, and the walking scenes were very straightforward since it was only Andy walking. We use lights from cars that passed by since it created a cool, film noirish effect.
We also played around with some scenes, like the church scene. It is a scene where Andy walks by a Church, looks at it, and it seems the Church is condemning him or judging him, but he doesn't care and continues walking. We probably won't end up using it because it disrupts the script and it's unnecessary.
We also used a bottle, where the car lights would go through it and create a somewhat kaleidoscopic effect. It's really cool, needless to say.
The final thing we shot was Medora stalking Andy. But what I was thinking, to make it more elegant, was that instead of showing Medora walking behind Andy, it is just different angles of Medora that portrays her looking, monitoring Andy as he walks. It is simple and effective if done properly, that may also express her inner pain.
The final product is due Wednesday.
*Side note
After school day, Andy continued to edit. After 90 minutes of solid editing, he tells me that he is nearly done. He not only has it all organized, but has most of it in the correct saturation. He is confident that he can meet the deadline, and just needs about 2 more hours of solid editing. I will be there tomorrow for the final major edits.

Risk-takers: Experimentation of shots and angles.
I actually really like the symbolism of your church scene but understand that you decided to keep it out. Remember that symbolism is very important when deciding on your mise en scene.
