I love the raw emotion shown in romantic films. The emotion of love and feeling that is not really displayed in any other source of media. One element of romance films I dislike is the cliche endings in a lot of the films. Sometimes however a romantic film can touch upon subjects that are tear jerking. For example in the film fault in our stars the film touches upon terminal illness along with a love story that just creates a mood of such scarcity and makes you truly appreciate love in the finite amount of time we have on this earth. Which is why when romantic films are done right, they can invoke feelings deeper than love.

Scheduling Issues

  Changes came through very quickly all over again. This time just with the filming date instead of an actor/actress. Because of all this hassle to film during school days, I believe we are just going to officially film over Spring Break on the 22nd. It is hard to get a good date now because of final grades all getting put in for the closing of the 3rd quarter of our school year. Personally, it is a lot on my own plate to handle with all the stress I already have. I keep on getting new, consistent assignments which are needed to be done and soon before everything is closed. It was not an easy decision made yet again to push back the filming date. It was rather hard, because of all the excitement I have going through me to do it and see how it turns out. However, things must be done the proper way and not in a rush, so if we kept this same date, everything in the film would have looked bad. It would have been noticeably rushed because of how sloppy everything would be. On another no...

Tweaks and Changes

There are a lot of things that still need to be fixed with the clips. As a group we officially started editing and we are using iMovie. The film was taken on my phone since we agreed I had the most storage and was able to have all of that on my phone. We put the clips all together on iMovie and it came out to be 2 minutes and 41 seconds. There are still some parts we must cut out or shorten that should not be there, but I'm glad we got the time right. A big part also needed to be done are the titles. We will work together to make them look as neat and flowy as possible in the film. Hopefully it turns out as amazing as I think it will. I think the hardest part for my group was getting everyone together, but I'm glad we managed to do it. Without all the proper editing, I believe the film looks great! To be honest, maybe we could have had better lines, but fairly they were cliff hanger lines which are just what we needed. It worked perfectly for the concept of the final task proje...

 Let's get back into my blog and get more in depth about my group. I am working with a different group of people than I usually would, but I think it'll be good for me. We can all incorporate each of our own strengths to make this music video the best one yet! We are a group of four and this includes me, Sabrina, Lola, and Michaela. To get into more detail, I've known the first member of our group, Sabrina since the 7th grade. We have gotten really close ever since then and have always stayed in contact. Her personality is great and she is a person you can enjoy working with to make the project fun. Sabrina works very diligently with schoolwork and anything she puts her mind to. She is very determined with everything she does and puts in extra efforts for great outcomes on her assignments. I have always seen how well she works, and have admired her for that. The next member in our group is Lola, who I have also known since the 7th grade. However I was never super close with...
