 This is the final product of my film opening. After many days of working and trying to fit around schedules I pushed through with my direction and did not let the roadblocks stop us from finishing it. I feel we got almost perfect to a point where I was proud to say this is my film opening.

 I took the entire day after school to add all of the sound effects, filters, text blocks, and extra cuts into the film to finish it off. This process was very fast as I already had my ideas in my mind and all I had to do with input them into Capcut. I exported the film and sent it to Logan in which he found his acting was portrayed well and my camera work and directory was good.

 Today I did not have much time to work on editing the final film and would only be able to do the basics. I cut all of the clips to fit the 2:00 mark and unfortunately had to leave out many extra scenes that would have been really cool in the final film. I had problems with formatting some of my clips due to filming on multiple devices but eventually was able to find a solution and finish with just the layout of the clips put together after about 30 mins.

 Today was the final day of filming where I had my main actor come over with the same outfit so we could film the final half of the film. This hangout was strategically planned so we could stay up late with nothing to do in the morning to make sure we were able to have the film be as true to the first half as possible .We had to wait until around the same time as we filmed the first half and recorded the entire outside segment. This half took us 1hr and a half to finish and we had many many takes and camera angles that I would chose from when editing the final product.

 Unable to film this week, I took the time to make a rough draft of the edited version of the first couple seconds of the opening. I tried to create a balance of good pacing but still focusing on main details and shows it to the main actor to which he was pleased with everything so far. We planned another filming day for the following week.

 Finding days where I didn't have work and Logan didn't have after school activities was hard but we did eventually start the actually filming of the opening. We took our first planned hang out to film the opening shots where josh was inside of the house. It took us about 2 hours to get it how we wanted it but couldn't continue filming as it was already late and we had plans in the morning
