EDITING
I am now finally done with all the editing in my film opening, I know it seems a bit last minute but I took so long just to make sure that it was as best as i could possibly make it, all that I am missing now is just some blog post including my citation for sound in my CCR and film opening, as well as just creating links for both my CCr and film opening, I will do all of these things tomorrow as the final project is not due until tomorrow night, the only thing I am debating still is whether I should add music in the second half of the film where the characters are cleaning up since it is kind of a montage but this is something I will discuss with my group tomorrow and it only takes one second to do so, the only hard part would be finding a goos song that is not copyrighted, since that took me so long for the first part of the movie.
As i reflect back on our film opening, I can say without a doubt that we display more technique editing in the first half and the second half is good as well, but I personally just really enjoyed making the first half of it and I am really proud of it as well.

| (EDITING OF FILM WITHOUT MUSIC IN SECOND HALF) |
Now that we finished this all that is left to do is to edit, which is obviusly not any easy task but stil like I mentioned I dont mind editing and I find it fun. I am basically done with editing my film opening, all I am missing are some small tweaks and the CCR, at least mine, dont require that much editing. The podcast according to my teacher after I talked to her should just be a black screen with audio, and on top of that I will add a logo of the supposed podcast, and more the interview we did it all in one take but I will most likely add some transitions as well as mucis, as well as for the podcast i will probably add some introduction music for it as most have that. This process is now coming to an end and I am excited to showcase my final project. I expect to make 3-4 blog post tommorow, 2 of them being the film oepning and CCR anfd the other being one discussing the editing process, as well as citing any sound effects or visuals that I have to.

DONE WITH SHOOTING
Today, my group and I got together one final time in order to shoot the remaining part of our film today was the day that best fit us all, so we left school early and went to Aarons's house where we have been shooting. We concluded the final part of our film, and we think that it turned out great. The filming today went better than expected and even though we changed a few things up in the spur of the moment it was still very effective. Now the editing progress will begin. I enjoy editing but it can become tedious at times so I am estimating it to make me 2-3 days spread out. All the files have been moved to my computer and I will probably begin editing tonight. Me and my group mate Aaron will begin filming our CCR most likely on Thursday and complete them on that day too as they are not that long.
All I have to do for the CCR is come up with a script for both videos as it makes the process of filming so much easier. Editing the CCR is also not that hard as js some light touches such as music and some visuals as well as cuts here and there are required. I also made a change to my CCR decisions after talking to my teacher initially I decided to do an interview and a podcast but I realized they might be too similar, so I am switching to a podcast and kind of a show-and-tell since the CCR filming will be done in the house where the opening was shot I can go around places where shots where taken and talk about them and explain to them while sneaking in the questions in there. I am very excited to see how the opening and CCR come out and can't wait to finish them both.
