The End is Just Around the Bend

It has been a long and interesting year in Film 2.  This is the last week, that we have been anticipating since the day we entered the film classroom.  I cannot believe that I am now one of the juniors who is making the next morning announcement show.  I cannot believe that I am just about to be a senior and take on all the responsibilities the seniors had.  After sitting in the production class all this semester, I got a bit of a preview of what is to come for my future.  I am nervous, but I am ready.  I have to be ready.
My main concern is making the year's last morning announcement show remarkable.  Many of the students and teachers on our campus don't even acknowledge the work we film kids do.  I want our class to make a show that will entertain our audience and catch their eye.  I think the ideas we have keep progressing into better ideas and concepts.  All we need to really figure out is our set design and light design today.  I saw Jachelle, Alexa, and Daisy working on the next Question of the Week segment and Jose went out to talk to Arc about their activities.  I think we are lucky to have a group of 14 dedicated kids, even if they aren't dedicated to film they're dedicated to the school and grade in the class which is all that we need.

Bright Lights and Many Lines Later

Finally our true adventure begins, something we've been preparing both our minds and skills for the past two years.  Television production and broadcasting is all such a new world to our class, but I think most of us have been able to maintain it better than just general film production.

My group is just awesome, we can work collaborate on ideas and we finish everything ahead of time.  I'm really happy with the progress we've made and our design for lighting and the set.  It's a matter of determination, and being capable of doing this work independently.  I think we'll be okay, and our host is amazing.  Unfortunately we have had trouble finding a definite position for our expert, but we can make ends meet.

My main focus throughout this week has been the many lines and scripts I've been reading through.  Not only have I been studying my own script and the shots with it, but I have memorized both scripts since Mark and I are hosts for both projects besides our own.  I really didn't think I was going to be able  to remember every single line, but after a couple long nights and a lot of mumbling to myself I was able to remember whole scripts.  I am really impressed with myself.  I'm nervous to shoot other peoples, I hope I don't ruin their project.  The most sketchy part of being filmed is balancing between doing the action and looking at the camera,  but hopefully I can maintain.  I don't really have a choice.

Final Crunch

I can't and don't want to say much about my project, but I can say it'll be decent.  I mean throughout production many things went wrong, and I don't expect perfection.  I really just learned after this project that this class shouldn't be taken so seriously, for being a high school class.  I know it's good to, but I really prioritized my life.  I know that now certain aspects may need to come before a passion I have.
I'm just glad we're done, and it's over.  For the most part, everyone was cooperative but we all just probably need a good break from each other, kidding for those who take me seriously, but I think it's time to move on.
Working so many hours on a computer can be laborious, and I think everyone's effort to edit is incredible.  If anyone has something to complain or say about this film, I would understand but ignore any comments.  We have our reasons for our faults and we can admit them.
I just want to move on to the next project.
I'm over talking about this one.
