So for this post I am going to be reflecting on the entire process that this film opening has brought me through. I am glad I have finished this opening up and am now able to reflect on it. The film opening starts off with just a normal American citizen, whom we decided not to name since she won't have anything to do with the rest of the film, played by Val Tiralongo  who is just spending her night at home. She begins by trying to watch tv but it ends up not working so she gets frustrated and goes to the kitchen to go make herself some more oatmeal. As she leaves the room to go to the kitchen a national emergency plays and since she leave the room, she can not here the emergency that is going on. It is vital that she does not hear this since what happens next depends on that Then as the national emergency is playing over her making oatmeal we can see that she is not even paying attention to the broadcast that is playing.

        Welcome to the second post of the week and if you can tell by my last post you can tell that I have been very busy during the break. Since I was at a national competition, I did not have enough time to be able to edit a lot of the film opening.

       Hello everyone welcome back the blog. Spring break has been very hectic since I have been out of town the whole break due to a competition for TV. I have not really been editing the film since I had no time during the break. I also have not been talking to my partner since we have had very busy schedules. It is getting closer to the due date and I am hoping to be able to finish editing soon.           I haven’t made many drastic changes to our film since I like the direction it is going in. What I have been planning out is what is going to go on the tv during the film opening. We decided not to finish it before we went out to film because we wanted to make sure that we did not rush to finish it and make it look bad. So what we ended up doing is putting up a green screen on the tv to be able to add what we wanted in post production . It was a struggle in the beginning since the reflection of the color was very bright and was reflecting off of our subjects face. What we end
