  This is my Final Task. Hope you enjoy!!!

 In my last blog, i talked about many struggles that were faced when doing this project. there were also things that were fun. besides filming. there were things that we did while filming that were funny and fun. after filming we usually all went to eat. there were many different actions. one time we went to stores to go look around after. we always had bloopers because we laughed. the best part was definingly the laughs shared. there is a reason we grouped together. we all like the same things. we can all make each other laugh. at the end of the day, there my friends. through the process i got to meet a new friend. besides learning i got to meet new people. there were times we could not film because of availability. when we did film it was great because we could get good filming fast. its not about the end product for me. i liked the things did to get to the end product. i also like the filming locations we picked. if i had to change anything it would have been the weather. i previous

 I mentioned a lot about my project. there was many steps to it. there were many things i covered. there was also a lot of things i did not talk about. i am going to talk about the things that did not make it into the other blogs. i talked about location in a few of my blogs. there were many problems that i did not mention in other blogs wit weather and location. what exactly were the problems. there were three different times were we had to cancel filming that day because of weather. weather is hard to plan for in south Florida because you never really know when it could rain. there was also a problem one time with someone in the group got sick and we had to cancel. there was also the complication of transportation. all of my groupmates have working parents so they could not get to the place. i decided that i would go and pick them up so that we could film. yep, i picked up everyone. we filmed a total of five times. this was because we saw scenes that we could have done better so on t

This has been a long project. there has been ups and down. when looking back at my project there were issues. the issues have been fixed. i am now done with the project. as long as everything stays the same and nothing major happens. i liked this project that i made. it was very interactive with my life outside of school which was new. i got to do it with my friends. we all had a great time making this film. i have said that editing is my favorite part of the project. filming may be my favorite now. i acted as a director for our film and i felt that i did a good job. my group was great because we all had something for the group that was beneficial. the final change i made was for some of the scenes. i had to re film them because of the way they came out. that was easy because there was only like 2 that needed to be re done. i feel our group's skills have dramatically improved over the year and i know the project will show it. knowing some of the main filming terms helps when you ac

 We have finished our film. i did say before that i thought it was perfect. looking at it now there are some things that need to be addressed. the editing i did i thought was good. it was not my best but it was good enough. it was not suggested but i do need to edit some things and cut some things out. the music has to be synced a little better. i would like to do some things with the filming to. anything that's not perfect I'm gonna fix. i should be able to look at what i wrote needs fixed and when I'm done everything should be checked off the list. i will be going back to quickly re-film something after it was suggested looking back. it reminds me of doing something like an essay. when you do an essay, you write what you think sounds the absolute best. you may look back at the essay and realize that you have to fix some things even though you thought it was perfect at first. that's exactly what this is. working with others makes it easier on you to. i could have done

 i have mentioned how i got the music for the project before. i have never talked about the actual music. in my project. there is a lot of different things that are in the music that go with the film. when looking for music i wanted to find something that i liked. my strategy in my opinion was pretty good. i would look in the genre of the music i thought fit our project. once doing that i would listen to songs. i would mark down the names of songs i liked. after i had about five that i liked i began to vision. i wanted to see what it would look like in my video. there were many different songs that i liked so it took a long time for me to decide. i finally got it down to my top few and then realized something. two of the songs that i really liked for the video were from the same artist. this gave me an idea. that was to ask permission for both of those songs. the process tokk about a week or two. the artist eventually wrote back and would let me use the songs for free. after editing th
