 We are finally finished. Despite the problems our group has had with scheduling issues and lack of communication we are able to complete our film. Over time we had many set backs. After all of this we came together as a group and made sure it was finished. We all gave a good effort to complete the project. All three of us had our designated jabs and completed them. I was the main actor and helped with the creation of the story. Sam was the director and made the website and some of the social media. Lola was the camera person and created the postcard to represent our film after its completion. Together we worked pretty optimally on each of our respective roles an made a worthwhile film. This has been a bumpy road with many setbacks but an experience worth a lot. We learned to communicate with one another on our needs and boundaries. This gave us a sense of comradery as we completed the filming aspect of the project. The teamwork we displayed was immense in the finishing of the project

 Finally having all of our filming done we are on to edit. First we looked at the material we had. While looking at this we compared it to the storyboard we had done before. Some of he scenes we had to change because of lighting or weather issues. So during this phase we make sure that we had enough material to complete the film. During our shooting we made sure to shoot extra in case we had less than needed. Any gaps in the film would be filled with this extra material. This allows us to stick to the original film script. Also any reshoots we have to do will be limited as we have extra material. Most of the shots came out to our liking. Though some couldn't be perfectly done as we are in school. This limits our access to greater gear. With a lack of equipment some of the shots had to be done in ways that would represent the actual film material without the actions being performed. This includes the main crash at the beginning of the film. After this though the bulk of the shots en

Completing the filming for my school short film project was a testament to our determination and creativity despite limited resources. Every scene was meticulously planned and executed, utilizing makeshift props and natural lighting to bring our vision to life. The collaborative effort of the team, overcoming challenges together, was evident in every frame. Now, transitioning to the editing phase, I'm eager to weave the scenes together into a cohesive narrative. Reviewing the footage, I see the potential for magic in every frame, waiting to be unlocked through editing. The editing process presents new opportunities to enhance the story, adding depth and emotion. As I meticulously piece together each shot, refining transitions and pacing, I collaborate with my team to fine-tune every detail until the story resonates just right. Despite the challenges, our passion for filmmaking has only grown stronger. With each edit, the film evolves, becoming more than just a project but a testame

 After a lot of delays and finally being able to film we were able to get most of our scenes completed. Though as expected some of it had to be changed. As we went to film some shots we realized something. Some shots were made out to be done with a certain lighting or angles that wouldn’t be possible. One of the shots that we were planning on doing would be a shot of me answering the phone. This would work well but we had to change locations. This was due to the lack of lighting and glare that the setting had. This made it impossible to film the shot outside. We ended up doing the shot under a shaded area so that we could see the phone and who was calling. In this case it was the boyfriend of the character of our film. Then we needed to show the conversation in a way the viewer understands what is being said. We made the conversation simple so that context isn’t particularly needed. This worked pretty well. The conversation was short but got the information we needed. This gives contex

 After the trouble we’ve had in planning out our filming we finally are able to. Yesterday we agreed to film today. We were able to get many shots done. This includes the main shot of the car crash and some other shots. To do this we had to make the shot look as if we actually crashed the car. To try and show this we will be doing cutaway scenes and sound effects to account for the lack of actual crash. Obviously we will have to add the sound in during editing. This will be done after we have completed all of the filming for the film. As of now we have most of the shots done. This was a successful day of filming. We first went to shoot the crash. We filmed the crash scene. Then we went to get food somewhere as a break. We enjoyed our food there. Then we went back to Lola’s. After we got to Lola’s we looked at the footage. While looking at the footage some of the sound quality was bad. This led us to wanting to reshoot some shots. Then we looked over the film again. This time we were ab
