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 :(

HI... so the film is due in a few days... I am sooo behind
however, my website is look pretty fire!
It took me a while to get it look like a youtbe channel but i think I POPED off ... till my opinion change after critics lol
As for my film it looks like its going to be pretty long which make me very nervous... but it the minimum is 5 I don't think 7 is that bad.. right.. right
I am preparing to edit by getting all the sounds I need... i feel like most of them go with the vibe of each day.. which I love.. anyway this was just a quick update but I have to get back to it.. much love.. peace out.

Hi
I WANT TO ROLL MYSELF INTO A BALL AND DOWN A HILL.... so today I filmed ... finally.
Then I went to transfer all of the awesome content to my
Computer and my camera died.
Naturally ... I went to charge my camera ... BUT COULDNT FIND MY CHARGER... I CANT FIND IT... that means I have to re-film the woke first scene again ... and on my phone... I’m gonna cry. I’m actually gonna cry...
You know what Deep breaths... maybe it was meant to be ... maybe the first shots I took were not good and this is my opportunity to redo them ... yes ok ... it’s my opportunity to redo them ... deep breaths ... OMG ... OMG THIS PRJOJECT is DUE IN WEEK ... omg ...IM NOT OK

Hopefully .... I will re-film Monday
Film on Tuesday
Edit on wensday and Thursday and do finishing touches on Friday
Oh ... I’m go tell my grandpa to pray for me .... cause oh my god .... ah .... rolling down the hill in a ball ... yep that’s my solution
Bye.... til Monday I guess

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 

Hiiii....
so I’m very worried... I haven’t started filming yet because I don’t have someone to help me film.. so I think I have to change my film.. I’m going to make it as a vlog. So this girl is going to be going through this experience and recording it all for her YouTube channel.... this isn’t my favorite idea because I feel like it takes away from the humor of things and the rawness of what I was trying to achieve but at this point I have no other option. I can’t wait any longer for someone to help me. I could definitely make this work.... right.
The only thing is... I’m gonna have to be one helll of an actress to show this metamorphosis... while speaking to the camera.....
gonna have to go take some Master classes on how to act... lol
I’m going to do some research on movies that use a similar style and aren’t cringyyy ... because I’ve seen plenty of cringe.... THATS what I’m afraid of... anyways just an update...

hiiii
So I know I haven't started editing but I feel like I should start finding the sounds that are going to be used in the film.
This is what I want to use for the meditating scene... its very chill and mellow.
It’s called water lilies and is the last picture in this series. I feel like this will definitely elevate the scene.
The next one I found was for when they have the conversation in the beginning it is a tad to happy but this is just for the background thats gives this scene a little bit of an inspirational touch.
The last one I found is the one for when they smoke marijuana... the song is very tripy. It’s weird... which I feel embodies the essence of that scene. However, I think I would vary the music in this scene and not keep the same one throughout...

As of right now ... this is all of the un copyrighted music I have found ... It’s going to be way easier to find music when I’m editing and can see exactly what I want to portray..
