Today we began editing the last scene of our film, since we will be filming sometime next week for the school scenes. I went ahead and purchased Adobe and got a discount because I'm a student, in fact it was half off. The last scene flows very well as it is just continuous cuts of the main character and him discovering the fact he is going to be drafted. When the letter is read he announces the date he is supposed to report for duty which is May 20, 2020. After this scene is done there is a fade to black and then the screen shows May 20, 2020 in dark green letters.

That is when our film opening will end, because we can't include any of the war and violence due to budget. We feel as if next week everything will be completed and we can focus on polishing up the colors of the film if necessary

Next week we meet in class for two days, and those will be for filming only. Sometime next weekend we will meet up to finish the editing of our film. There is only two weeks before this project is due so we will need to pace ourselves efficiently when it comes to filming in school. We plan on having close up shots of our character doing work, taking tests, and mid shots of him just having a regular day at school.

Yet again, this is all to show that our main character is just a normal kid and is not prepared for the news that is coming his way later in that day. The opening scene is important because we need the audience to care for our main character, and hope to develop that while they watch him for one day.
