  The process of this film was overall a learning experience. Throughout this whole experience, we've learned some things outside of what we have gained in our media knowledge. Based on how this film represents any social groups or issues. This film represents anxiety. as you can see in some of the scenes, one friend is a little off and she might be anxious about shopping or some other underlying problem that she has . In today's world, people don't take anxiety so serious. Some make jokes about it and just push it on the back burner personally and to others. This Product, however, shows that our friends are considering what is wrong with her, or seems that something is bothering her, but there is one friend that's denying that she's fine. She also could be leaving her friends in the dark and not letting them know about her issue. Which creates the name of our product and it connects the whole idea together that she's hiding something and not letting her friends

Editing blog

 So on March sixteenth, we started editing. Jeni has decided to take matters into her own hands and start editing process. We just give her the clips that we filmed and help her on what to add in the transitions so far everything has been doing good. The process has been going smooth the only mishap that we have is that we don’t know if we have enough filmed. Further, we have to make up our minds about the music in the background so we don’t have a it to be a bland sound movie. As time goes on, we might have to film more because we need a five minute short film and this just might be only a quarter of it. We might have to add some credit scenes and maybe some bloopers but that might not be in the rubric. so we will fall back on that as a back up. 

Rapping up production

  We scheduled a day to meet on set and began discussing the changes we needed to make. We went over the feedback in detail, brainstorming ways to improve the pacing, acting, and overall tone of the film. We started by setting up the camera and lighting equipment, making sure that everything was in the right position. We then rehearsed the scenes a few times, making sure that the timing and blocking were improved. Melvin helped with the lighting, ensuring that the shadows were used to improve the mood of the film. As we filmed the retakes, we went over all the feedback. We were all working together towards a common goal, and it was a great feeling to see the improvements that we were making. When we wrapped up the final retakes, we all felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We knew that we had done everything we could to make the film the best it could be. We all congratulated each other on a job well done, and I felt grateful to have such a supportive and talented group of p

Another day no filming…

  Another production day has arrived but still there’s something missing. This day we planned on filming but something happened . One of my group mates had rehearsal and another had a personal mishap happen. Also, Transportation was a big factor in this filming day. No one was reallyclear on if they were able to meet up. Therefore, We couldn’t really all meet up at the same time because of different things we have to do on our schedules . Because of that we weren’t able to feel today. However, we did come up with some ideas of what to do. Based on the editing, Jeni would be in charge of that. We can help her in some ways but she has a strong sort of that. I can also learn how to edit as well because I can’t always rely on someone when it comes to future projects .filming this short film will be one of the group mates . it would change overtime depending on the scenes. I am not sure what     Jeni is using for her editing platform . hopefully it’s easy for her. I feel like we need to dis

Filming mishaps

 We have now reached our second day of filming and this time we were definitely ready to film and get more than one scene finished. The last time we filmed we encountered many issues that disrupted with our filming process, one of the major issues was the fact that the mall had closed before we were able to complete any other scenes. We did manage to get a few seconds of one but it was nearly enough for us to progress thoroughly with our production process and we needed to overcome this issue immediately. We all planned to meet up at an earlier time, this time we actually checked what time the mall was going to close so with that information we estimated the amount of time we would need to film our scenes before the mall closes. We also picked a different day from what we had picked last time just to see if the crowd levels in the mall may be less overwhelming than the day we had picked, which was also a problem we were met with the last time we filmed. The less people in the mall, the
