Today in class we filmed the part about our main character going to school. We borrowed a tripod from our teacher to make the shots look more stable. We recorded our main character walking into school and filmed him going to a class. We have a couple scenes of him sitting in class reviewing work, but we are not sure if we are going to use these clips of him at school due to the time limit. While our character was in class we edited a website to show that he's looking at the United States and North Korean war.

Because of the time limit being 2 minutes to our opening scene, it's going to be hard for the audience to feel an emotional connection with our character. The opening credits scene takes 10 seconds alone, and filming our main character and the ending scene took about 45 seconds of our clip. Filming him waking up in the morning and getting dressed takes another 20 seconds. We need to find out what we can fit in and what we can edit out of our movie. Next class we will be put in groups to discuss our project and get feedback from our classmates.

As of now, I have finished editing the ending scene of our film when the character finds out he's going to be drafted into the military. We used quick cuts and close ups of our character to make his emotion seem real, and as if this actually happened. Next class I plan on showing the people I get put with what we have so far. In return I would like to get  their opinions about what the middle of the opening scene should be.

We need our main character to be doing something that the audience can relate with so they connect with him.
