Casting

 To pick my casting it was also super difficult and another challenge like everything in this production, but as I was going through my idea of how I wanted to make this with two guy friends I just decided use my two closest friends at the time from work, since they fit the role perfectly as one of them (Michael) who is suppose to be the dumb, funny friend that usually gets no girls and the other Zach who is the other guy, is suppose to be the cool guy or the popular guy in High school, the just both fit the role perfectly looks wise. 

However I did have some issues that I believe are common specially when you are recording with friends. They were both. ot taking it seriously I don't know if this is because they were boys but it was extremly hard to make them focus and take this production as serious as it was, and this is one of the cons of working by urself. No one understands how it why you're there and what you're suppose to be doing besides you, that's why I believe it is a benefit having other people who are trying to achieve the same thing as you, because they will enforce the seriousness of it. 

Editing Rough Cut

As I started editing I decided to through the files and separate them by clips I could use, clips that I knew for sure were going to be in the film, and deleting extra footage. I started by doing this because I was having a lot of issues uploading the files to the app so I thought this was the best way to get through this issue. 

A screenshot of how I started this process, creating a new file to separate the extra footage I had the ones I was for sure about using. 

Although my first intentions for this was to be based of in a tropical place and having footage of the beach It ended up being the complete opposite. Since I work at an Ice rink and the cast I used were my friends from work, I ended recording it there and there was snow in the back of the parking lot where we recorded so I though why not use it in my favor. I ended up using one of the clips for the introduction of the trailer and since I was just making the rough draft I didn't focus too much on the editing I was just trying to put it all together at first and getting it done so I could go back later and dive more into the editing skills and sound. 

Adobe Primiere Rush

 Editing time is here, and I have been pushing this off for so long, part of it because im lazy, or because I just didn't want to do it, but the truth is, i had no idea what I was doing. I did research tried to learn, watched endless youtube videos on how to edit, planned it out, but it when was time to actually edit, I had no idea what to do. Regardless I pushed through it opened Adobe Rush but that was when i realized i had no idea what I was doing. I have had no experience on editing or anything the maximum i had done was editing  on imovie, but regardless i had to push through and make it work. 

This is was my hardest challenge through this production because although I had done research it looked a lot easier when I was doing research and since i was doing this alone there was no one really that could've helped me so this was all on me to get it done, and that's what i did. 

Instead of trying to start learning how to use a whole new program I decided to go back to what I am familiar with, so I went back to Imovie and started uploading all the files, which I had a lot of trouble but I just pushed through and got the rough draft done.
