CR

 Throughout the duration of this film, my goal was to touch on a topic that branches out in so many different topics. Whether it be depression, neglect, miss treatment, character development, ignorance. All things that many people do struggle with. Being able to represent these different issues through a directors standpoint, or even an editors standpoint was definitely a struggle, but it was worthwhile. I feel my group members, and I worked really hard throughout this entire process to make sure that these different things represented, even through the music used in the film and the actors. But most of all the time and energy put into making this film come to life.   The film itself played a very big role on representing social issues. Especially social groups.  The film addresses things like poverty. Being in a lower social can be a real struggle sometimes. It is not something that should be played with I honestly think it needed more insight which is why I thought this video would b

 Today I decided to work on the website again today. I haven’t started the editing process yet. Me being the teams personal software designer, puts editing under my umbrella of work. I haven’t chosen to start editing since all the clips aren’t in the proper place yet. We aren’t completely done with the filming process but we will be soon. My director is amazing, Rashell really knows what she is doing and I am so proud that she has the position. Technically I would be able to start editing now. In my opinion though I believe that makes the process longer and harder when I receive all the clips and that is exactly what we don’t want to do. So I am just going to wait for my team to get the perfect shots they need and start. Instead of doing that I made my decision on my template. I decided to go with the sophisticated template I was telling you about. Today I decided that it was the best choice because it was everything that we were looking for. I realized today that with the proper work

First day back at it

 Today I worked on our website for the short film. Today I decided on whether I would be making it from scratch using JavaScript or use a template website to build it. I ended up deciding that we were going to go with the second option. Our group will be using Wix to build our website. I believe that this was the best decision not because of how it would look but instead because of the amount of time that we have. Wix would be the best way to make our website look good in this short amount of time. Not only that I am very proud in my web designing abilities to not let my group down. They are all working hard to make this film look good and I will do the same. Not only that this website will reflect that.  Upon figuring out the means to building the website I also  narrowed our options to 3 templates. The templates being one that’s more fun, a sophisticated one, and one with a strong feminine aesthetic. I was able to single it down to those three and will be able to complete my decision

The Motion of The Film

 The process of the short film titled "A happy ending" or filming any film would need things like a location, props, actors, health and safety, costumes, a schedule and of course a backup plan. Schedule- As for schedule, we are still working on it. we wanted to finalize all filming and wrap up editing by the end of spring break so that when come time to turn in the short film, we are more than prepared. Location-For Location, we were thinking of filming in thee standard places. A supermarket(Publix), Nyla's house, a parking lot at Nyla's house, an a park with pretty lights. There will probably be other places like down the street but those will all be scenes leading up to arriving at those specific Locations. We plan on utilizing each location at different times of the day seeing as we want o use the lighting to help represent the characters emotion Participants- As of right now, our participants consist of Nyla, David, Nyla's mom, and Rashell. Of course David and
