  We started editing our film last time my group and I met up. We didn't end up finishing so we decided to plan another time to finish. We had a three day weekend so it was the perfect time to finish. We all have quite busy schedules so we picked a day best for everyone. My group and I met up at Allisons house to continue editing. We knew this time would be quicker than last time since we already had the hang of it. But it actually was a lot faster than I expected.  It only took us about an hour to finish up editing everything. We had to finish putting the last few scenes together. We also had to add the background music and make sure everything was correct. We all grew quite impatient while editing since we were so eager to see the final outcome. We had a check list of all the different components we needed to complete throughout the project to keep us on track. This ended up being really beneficial and kept us from forgetting important tasks. It also helped when we got overw...

  So we finished filming. Now all we have to do is edit. I started out by cutting our clips to the proper length. I took advice from the person that had an opinion. I fixed the brightness. I adjusted the angels. It took me a while to understand how to use iMovie. So, I tried different editing apps. I ended up liking iMovie better and just stuck to my original option. I had a hard time picking out music. I also didn't want to use copyright music. I spent two hours trying to figure out what background music would make it more suspenseful. As I was editing my group was reviewing our clips. I knew my group wasn't going to finish editing today. My group watched a bunch of videos on how to edit. My favorite part about this project so far was getting closer with my group. I was scared at first because they are all juniors and I am a sophomore but they treated me very kindly. Im glad I got closer with my group because it allowed the project to run very smoothly. We should finish editin...

My group finished. It was a lot of hard work but it was definitely worth it. Working with my group was a lot of fun. We never really had any issues working together. I would definitely work with them again for a future project. We had to make sure we had communication throughout this project to ensure we met deadlines on time. There were a few obstacles we had to overcome due to our busy schedules but we overcame them together. My group and I met up again to review and re- watch our film. My group was really nervous to get a peer to review our project. We knew we had to tweak a few things. But before we did that we got someone to review our project. There was one part of our film where we had to redo our project based on the lighting. We also had to fix our time because we ended having too much time in our film. They had someone edit our film and they had a few things to review. They didn't like how we went to slow in some of our films. They also noticed a few ways we could change ...

My group started off today just as any day. But then my group remembered, were filming today. My group and I had a lot on our mind and ready to film. Everyone was able to film today which was a great start. We began filming the parts with sophia, allison and I. Then worked in a couple films with darrow. After the first shot we didn’t like the angle of it. Sophia tested out a few other angles but couldn’t seem to find the write one so we moved on to our next scene. My group and filmed the part with darrow. We rewatched the clip and it wasn’t what we wanted. So we changed the lighting. We rewatched it again and liked it more. My group shot more times just in case we didn’t get it the first try. My group was really productive today. My group and I thought that we weren’t going to get it done it time. But we were wrong. My group planned ahead and made sure we had a enough time. My group would probably need 1-2 more filming days left.  Lastly we ended the day by editing our first clip. ...

 We started filming over spring break. It was hard to get my group all together at one time. Many times allison had work. I was out of town for a few days. While darrow was free. Sophia was with her family. Other times we wanted to film when I had work and I couldn’t. Allison and Darrow filmed some the parts without me. Although they didn’t finish all of them they still accomplished a lot. I then brainstormed about how I would accomplish editing the film. My ideas were pretty good in my head. My whole group is going to probably finish filming this week. Our goals haven’t always come out how we want them. But that is what makes us a team and closer together. We knew that we weren’t going to accomplish a lot due to spring break. So, we planned ahead. We scheduled out how we could finish before the deadline. This included the editing and maybe some days that we thought we could film but ended up not being able to. We then gathered all of our props and had them at darrow's house so tha...

 We realized we never finished getting the rest of our props for the final scenes. We didn't  really need props in the first scenes so we never got around to it.  We had to go a few different stores to get them. We first got the walkie talkies. We were going to borrow them from Allisons  job ,but in order follow Covid  precautions we decided it would be safer to just get our own. Then we went out to get some more props. We have to film the final scenes this week when we are less busy. We also need it to be at night but since the time change, it gets darker later. We are going to finish out a schedule this weekend that is best fit for everyone. We were all really busy this week since it was the final few days before the quarter ending. We all decided it was best to film on Thursday so we could all be there. Allisons managers gave complete permission too film at the restaurant. Also Thursday is the slowest day at the restaurant so it's perfect for no distractions....
