     I have begun editing my project. Yesterday, I was having so much fun editing, that I spent almost 7 hours on it. So far, I have completed the composition of all of my shots into the editing software. I wil be using Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 for this project. 

    After the composition, I plan on doing a simple color grade for now, and adding more later on. After that, I will make sure that I add all of the sound effects in their correct spots with the correct volumes and more. I have included screenshots of the movie editing so far below.

    I finally filmed the entire project yesterday. It was incredibly fun to do so. I included some videos from the filming below. I kept mostly to the storyboard I had, but I ended up taking a couple of shots out and replacing them with new ones. I took out all of the close up shots of the assassin, and instead included an establishing shot.

        The establishing shot includes the assassin walking out from a corner and the lights turning on one by one by one. It looks really cool and I am excited for the next steps. I am currently piecing together the first pass of the film opening and I am getting some people to tell me what they think about it as I go. I want to make sure that I get this film progress to match the overall theme of the film. 

    Below I have uploaded the scene that I was given the most feedback on. Before the people said it was too fast and confusing. Therefore, I ended up changing it so that it is still cohesive but slower.

    Today is the day that I begin my filming. We had to make a couple of changes to the filming date. At first, we were supposed to film on Monday, 3/14/22 at 7:30 pm. After some discussion, we had to move the date to Wednesday, 3/16/22 at 7:30.

    I had a track meet yesterday, and at that I was able to talk to the owner of the warehouse. Due to a miscommunication and a failed relay of information, he did not know when we were filming. I told him Wednesday 3/16 and he said that worked for him. However, when I got home, the main character asked to do it a bit earlier and proposed a time at 6:30 pm. I got that confirmed by the owner and we are good to go.

    I will be filming today at 6:30 pm at the warehouse. I have to make sure that all of the supplies are brought, including the camera, the airsoft gun, holster, vest, and the actors. I will have a second friend there to help me take pictures and videos of the filming for the blog.

    This class, we conducted a group discussion. We got members of different groups and we discussed our projects and ideas. After we discussed, we gave each other advice for different portions of the project that we needed help on. 

    They gave me advice on how I should end my film. Because I am ending my film with someone being shot to death, they recommended that I end the film without actually showing the kill. I will be changing the ending to fit the appropriateness of a school project. It will not be much different so it will not be a huge deal. I enjoyed this group discussion because it provided me with a lot of confidence.
