Beginning to Film

 This week I started filming the opening scenes for the movie. I found a beautiful lake near my house which was the perfect spot for the opening shot. I came to the place during sunset for the shot to capture the colorful sun as well. I did not have much time to film during this week, so I only got a couple of shots done. Also, looking over, my initial storyboard, I realized that I did not have many props to complete it, and my parents were extremely busy so some of the shots would be difficult to execute by myself. Therefore, I had to altered the storyline a little.

At first I started the editing process using video editor but I faced a lot of difficulty since the features were limited and it did not have any transit

I also use the font Poor Richard for context clues during the video; it looks good and it is legible.  I slowed down certain shots that were a little shorts, especially I where I had writing over it in order to give the viewers time to read it, and I sped up other shots that I filmed in slow motion but ended up being too long. Towards the end, I use the wipe transitions in between the shots to give it a little sequence and a cool effect. I kept the beginning, where the credits are displayed with the original audio.

I also like the song because it is a powerful, dramatic, and upbeat classica
