Its Finally Over!

It’s finally over. I finally finished this long project. This project started around January 29 and has now been finished on March 22. This project was an experience that’s for sure.

(Me at times during this project)

In the beginning, when I was planning out what I was going to do for the project it was pretty difficult to decide on what I was going to do for the film opening. I remember that it took me a long time to decide what genre I was going to do but after some time of deciding and some third-party insight, I am deciding on the genre that you see now. Around this time I was deciding on what I was going to do, I didn’t really think that this project would be so difficult or it would be such a long process. But I soon realized that it wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought and that this was gonna take up much time. There were many difficulties between working on the project and balancing school work, but the good thing is that I was able to work through it. One of the biggest challenges was posting the blogs at certain times and making sure that they were spaced out.

When it came to the time for production, this was also a big challenge, and I wish that it would’ve gone a little bit smoother, but in the end, it turned out pretty well. I planned my project to be very good and I also planned it perfectly in my head but of course, things do not always go as we think they will. I have course was not able to get the actors in the people that I wanted originally even though I said many backups, so that is one thing that was a bit upsetting at the time, but the good thing was that with the power of Latinos in action and my officer position, I was able to get some people to help me and also with the help of a close friend. In the end, the project turned out good it is not as good as I wanted it to be, but I am happy with how it turned out. Even though it was a bit of a struggle shooting and it was a bit of a time crunch when we were shooting the shots turned out pretty well just editing was the part where they got harder.

When it came to the editing, I knew that it was gonna be a long process because I’ve had it many times in the past, and I know that it takes a long time to do it and to make it look perfect. But for some of the Parts of the project, I didn’t know that it was gonna take as long as it did, but Push through it and was able to make the videos look good. Especially editing for the CCR was very long and I needed an entire day just to edit both CCRs, but it was worth it because I made them look good for the project and if I had spent a few days, it probably wouldn’t have looked as good and I probably would have not been able to finish it on time. Color grading was of course a big issue that I explained a lot in my blog post as well as my CCR. Even though it was so difficult at times, I was able to learn some new tricks to help me out with it, and I pushed through that as well.

For the CCR I expected it to be very simple at first, but once I knew that we had to create videos and two separate parts for those videos, I knew that it was going to be more difficult than it seemed. To be honest, the CCR editing was much harder than it was for the film opening and the filming for the first part of the CCR was almost as stressful as shooting for the film opening. I was also able to learn lots of new tricks, and do things that I’ve never done before while shooting the CCR so That is a plus side to the negative that I just explained.

Overall, this was An experience that I can’t even explain with words. I will say though that it was long and excruciating at times but in the end, I know that it was a good experience to go through because I was able to learn and master many skills. Now that it’s over, I can finally relax a bit especially now that I only have two months left of school, my birthday is coming up, and My adult life is coming up. I definitely will enjoy not posting blogs constantly like this, but I will miss it as well because it is a good place for me to display my thoughts and to speak open-mindedly. The shooting was also of course Pretty fun, but that’s something that won’t stop because like I said in my CCR, I am in CBTV So shooting like this won’t stop for me for a little bit longer. Thank you for reading These blogs and I hope that you enjoy both my CCR and my film opening.
