CAP Hollywood Reflection #2

Our film is progressing well.  We still have the two scenes we filmed, they have been uploaded to Final Cut Pro and we have made good progress with editing.  One challenge we've faced is getting another little girl to play the protagonist's best friend.  It is difficult because as teenagers, no one in my group really knows any younger girls, and only Sophie has a little sister, who already has another role in our film.

I have been behind the camera during filming and have been editing in Premiere.  I've done a bang-up job at both, if I do say so myself.

Next week, we need to find another little girl to be in our movie and then film the one scene we have left to film.  Once that is done, we can finish editing our rough cut.

We got much of our filming out of the way early.  Since every member of my group is involved in some sort of time-consuming extra-curricular activity, it is difficult to find days that we are all free to film.  That will be a challenge because we still have one more scene that we have to film.

This week, I have been behind the camera for our filming and have begun editing the footage that we have so far.  You see, I like to think of myself as an artist, and the camera is my canvas with which the actors (my paintbrushes) can make my vision come to life.

Next week, I need to film the remaining scene and continue to throw together a rough cut.  We have been making good progress so far, and I hope that we continue to power forward in our quest, for the sake of art.
