Final Update:(

It is final, reflective, comments time everybody.

This is pretty emotional for me because of a lot of different things.

First, this project is the last major project that I will ever complete in high school. Additionally, I just found out today that I will never step foot in my high school as a student ever again in my life. That information is very crazy to me to take in. I am going to miss a ton of things about high school. Aice media has always been once of my absolute favorite classes with one of my favorite teachers. It's hard for me to accept that I will never be back in that classroom as a student. :(

Reflecting on this project I definitely can think of a lot of things because I learned a lot about a lot of things. I had to make so many adjustments that I am glad that I wasn't procrastinating at all because I needed all of the time I had to make everything just the way I wanted it. To start off, I chose to do the film promotional package because I believed that I was most interested in creating trailers so this would be the best option for me. It was rocky at some points, but I still believe I made the right decision. I struggled developing a plot, I began my project with many different ideas but never was truly happy with any of them until recently. At first, I wanted to create a production as an ode to the experiences that I go through related to ocd and misconceptions about it. After bringing this up to a lot of people, however, I realized that it was over my head. This is when I thought I could do a teen drama piece while still incorporating a love story. After the Corona Virus decided to occur and ruin my plans, I was at a total lose. I had no idea what to do at this point. This is when I started to get nervous. To fix this issue, I just began filming. This probably did end up wasting a lot of time but it ended up leading me to my idea which was to work with what I have and what I know. I made my film package about a girl who had her last year of competitive dance taken from her and she decided to take matters into her own hands and make her last dance be on her basketball court for her family to have closure on her dance season being robbed from her. 


What took me the longest and was the most difficult, aside from coming up with the idea, was honestly creating a clear brand across my trailers, website, and poster. Not all of the platforms I was working with had the same fonts and things so it was difficult matching everything but after lots of dedication I was able to do so. It was pretty difficult to learn how to successfully create a website and make it functioning and look realistic. That took me a lot of time. It also took me a lot of time to keep going back and tinkering with my poster because I wanted it to be just right. I am proud of myself for figuring everything out eventually and creating a piece that is special to me! I really hope you guys enjoy what I put together because it took a lot from me and it means a lot to me! 

Can't wait for you guys to see the final results!
