REFLECTION
REFLECTION

Hey Peeps!
This may be news. Mainly because it was news to me but I was able to finish my project. YES...I HAVE finished my project ! I genuinely thought I was not gonna make it past the finish line.Although, it is not my best work, I don't particularly hate it. That's keeping in mind all of the challenges that I had to endure . Not being able to film because of the COVID-19 lock down then, losing all of my footage on my camera and then losing my battery, I think I overcame those challenges and turned in something that makes people laugh, which was my goal.
I do wish however that I had more time to perfect the comedy or get people feedback to check if it's actually funny. Have a little bit of a test group…
I am just nervous that people won't find it funny and it seems like a film that is mocking spirituality which is not my goal. In other words, I don't want to go through a rude awakening (pun intended) that I'm not funny.
I have rewatched my film after submitting it about 20 times and the more I watch the worse the jokes get. I am kind of glad that I edited most of them out. In other words, I don't know if it's that funny but it does have that comedic air.
I definitely wanted to make my ending different but I had no time. I was over the limit by 2 minutes. I edited so much content out in attempts to make it at least 5 minutes but it was impossible. Hopefully, I don't get too many points taken off.
Also, I pray that people don't view it as a montage….
 I also don't know if I like the filters I put but I wanted the days to clearly look different as well as the vibe of each experience.
My mom says I am my worst critic so let me look at the good.
This was what I had in mind for my film. Any easy, fun film to watch that hopefully is funny. I am happy that I was able to harness my vision and sort of can't believe it . Mainly, because last year I had such a difficult job doing so.
This project made me realize how much I love making fun films. I think the world needs more of these or at least lately. My career in Aice media was definitely a balanced one. Last year, I tackled amore heavy topic and this year something fun and silly.
 I kinda really like the content of my film. There is no arguing that the  shots and edits could be improved but the overall content made my heart smile.
I am sad that this is my last goodbye. I have never enjoyed a class more :(

Hey guys
So I have been working on the intro to my film... so since the change of idea I wanted to make it like a YouTube channel intro .... so the name of the channel would be the name of the film .... i just think these would be a tad confusing... so should I put the name of the channel as the the main characters name ... then the name of the film and then split it into parts
Like part one ... the meditation and so on ... wait I actually like that idea ... that would make everything super clear .. ok bet
Heres the sample of the intro I made ... I actually really like it .,, and I think this may be one of the intros I useeee... keep ya updated

Bye bye

Hiiii guys,
so I think I previously mentioned in my blog that I am going to add a new component to my film...
That I wanted to make my main character a youtuber as well ... this would make it easier to film. So not only would I have shots from the scene itself but a vlog video at the scene. This would also give an idea to the audience as to how the main character feels which could not have been achieved before. 
This also gave me the idea to change the website... I think it would be cool if the website was her YouTube channel. 
So it would have the similar style of YouTube but still with the conventions of a normal website. 
As for the postcard, I think it would be a snapshot of the YouTube channel in the front and a picture in the back with information. 
Anyways .... that’s just a very important update in a change of overall idea lol 
Bye bye 

This is it :( My CCR
