This is my final task. I had a super fun time making this video. It isn't perfect but I put a lot of time into it and my blogs. I hope you guys enjoy it.

 A couple days later It was the weekend I didn't have a lot of school work and I was ready to get back onto this and deal with more problems. So as I left off I now had the songs I wanted and I was ready to import them. As I said before I didn't know if I was going to use one or both songs during this intro. When I went back onto where I left off there was absolutely nothing there all my work was gone. I was so mad at this point because I was starting to feel there was going to always be a problem. I sat back and just tried to think of things I an can do. I came to the conclusion it probably was just my computer and I needed to use another one. My uncle has a couple apple laptops and desktops so he let me borrow one. This was such a relief and way easier than anything before. The laptop already had a editing app I could use. This app made things 10 times faster and easier. All my videos uploaded very quick and appeared clear and steady. I downloaded the song from youtube and ma

 Starting off editing I emailed myself all the footage from my phone and downloaded it to my computer. Next I pulled up my editing app called clipchamp and imported all the videos onto the app. I then started to edit and crop the videos down to the correct length and size making sure the video reached and did not go over or under the time limit required. This was when the first of many editing problems started to occur. As I was importing the video into the app they were taking forever. Each and every video took like 7 minutes just to upload to the app even though they were only like 5 second clips. I tried fixing this just by shutting down my laptop and starting over. When I pulled back up Clipchamp and started to import my videos to put them all together the same thing was occuring so I just had to wait and wait until I got each and every clip into their and there was dozens. Instead of everything importing quickly I spent lots of time sitting there and just waiting and waiting for v

 About to film our last scenes we were all so excited and happy that everything went well and we had a very productive day. We started by filming of Teresa walking to her car as she maintained on the phone. This was shot as a long shot. Next was Teresa getting in her car and sitting down as she still was on the phone. This whole time filming it had to stay very quiet in order to hear the actresses movements and dialogue. The only time I told them not to worry about anything was the scenes were I knew I would be inserting music. So here was when a problem occurred as we were filming Teresa sitting down in her car on the phone someone pulled into the park with loud music. We didn't think anything of it because we were just thinking they would get out the car and go into the park but they didn't. The music occured for about 10 minutes as we waited until we realized they came to sit in the car and they probably wouldn't leave unless we said something. I walked over and asked po

 After the whole situation was addressed with her dog and her concerns we started moving on to our final last scenes. We started filming again of the male actress walking to the driver's seat of the car. This was shot as a pan shot. Next is shown the actress grabbing a object out of his car when he turns around appears to be duck tape. This was shot as a long shot. The long shot continues as the actress goes to the back and opens up the back of the trunk. He then rips a piece of duct tape off and puts it over shares mouth. This was shot as a close up shot because we wanted the audience to feel connected with the situation and the helplessness that shows on the female actress face. The actress then closes the trunk this is shot. We shot this as a high angle as well. Mind you we brought the stool from my house to the park so when we needed to do the high angle scenes I was able to get that perfect shot by standing on that. Before we introduced actress teresa it was starting to get re

 After introducing kendrick and the major point being introduced which is kidnapping we decided to take a break. I didn't want to waste to much time and people start coming and we regret not finishing on time. The plan we decided was for actress crystal and kendrick to go get us subs and drinks and while we waited. We took time out to eat and drink under the pavilion and talk about how the next sences are going to be pretty intense. We also laughed about how personally we look too innocent to be doing this so we prayed that it looked as real as possible and there acting can pull it of. We headed back over to the swings and starte the new change in the film. This shot is kendrick dragging shae back off the swing with his hand over her mouth still and she tries to scream. This was shot as a establishing shot because we wanted to really show the setting and show the fact this situation is really occurring this day, on this time, and this location. Here the location moves to the parkin
