Reflection

This week we accomplished much with our film. We finished our movie poster and our almost entirely done with editing. We found our music, we added transitions, we made the credits. Next week we have to check sound levels and make sure our film runs smoothly. After that, we can export and relax until CAP Hollywood.

This past week has been really hectic in CAP. We have AP tests, English tests, journalism assignments and lots more. We also have to finish our films so that they are done by the time CAP Hollywood roles around. Tomorrow our rough cuts of our film are due. We have a fair amount of clips in our timeline and I think we can finish it by tomorrow. Also, I completed the Photoshop slide which has our credits on it.

After the rough cut we really need to start cracking down on editing our film. Our main editor, Ben, is very good at editing but gets off task quite a bit. This week, my job will be to finish our movie poster and find music for our film. If possible with my schedule, I will see if I can come in after school.

So far I think my group is making good time with this project. However, as the deadline approaches we have to make sure we get everything done and presentable. I think this will be a challenge, but I don't think it will be impossible and I am fairly confident that our movie will be played at CAP Hollywood.

In our TV production class we are turning short stories into films for CAP Hollywood. The film I am working on is called Every Last Drop and was written by my friend Emily. The story surrounds a psychopathic women who has an abusive alcoholic husband. She gets pregnant and realizes her child cannot grow up in a house with this man so she poisons his soup.Then years later she sees her son growing up to have characteristics the father did, and she doesn't want that to happen. So, eventually she serves her son the same type of soup she used to kill her husband.

At this point in the production of our film, my group has gotten all the footage we need and has imported most of it into final cut pro. We also have a lot of voice overs in our film and we have done all of those. What we need to start doing is creating a rough cut of our footage and then edit it down. This coming we I will be creating our movie poster in Photoshop. If I finish that before the week is over, I will then look for music to be played throughout our film. What I'm most concerned with at the moment is sorting through our footage because we have quite a lot of it. I want to make sure we have enough to complete the film.
