BIG change

The opening credits came out nothing like how we expected. As we were recording our opening credits, we thought they were coming out perfect. As soon as we put them all together to edit, we realized that they did not go together AT ALL. Our original idea was to place pictures of different little kids receiving awards or fulfilling their dreams. THAT idea was scratched as soon as we realized that we did not know that many little kids so that idea would not work.

From there, we came up with the idea to record different careers with the names of our actors and directors on important items used at each job. We had recorded that idea and it took very long. In our heads, we were all very excited to see how good they would look when we put them together. Unfortunately, we realized that the idea was TOO MUCH!! We had too many things going on at once and it did not look professional. The cuts were choppy and the shots had no techniques included in them. We decided that we were not just trying to get this project done, but instead we were trying to get it done the RIGHT way. What is the point of spending so much time on a project like this if you are not gonna put your full potential into it.

Since we gave ourselves extra time from the start, we did not need to rush to re-record. When we recorded again. We could not come up with an idea, our minds were blank and no ideas were flowing. We got worried that the beginning was going to end up looking bad if we did not think fast enough. Then, the idea came to us. When we recorded our second idea, with the careers, we loved our idea that was used for the lawyer. The idea was easy to manipulate and would look very sharp. When it came to editing this idea, it was fast. Every shot was fast and sharp, exactly how we wanted them. Also, we all decided that we should use a high angle for this scene due to the significance of the names. Each and every name mentioned in the beginning of our movie played a large role so we wanted to show the audience how important they truly were. The high angle gives the impression that the names are important and should be focused on.

I am very very very happy with how the beginning turned out & i am excited for everyone to see it!
