Production (final filming/pictures)

 Hello! My group and I met up at a library to begin working on editing and came across a few problems. Our initial plan was for Jordyn to cover the camera before the scene at school and use the black screen as an opportunity to place the title. But while beginning to put the clips together we realized a black screen was really limiting. 

We tried to come up with ideas such as animating the title so that it looks like it is being written out but we realized this would be very time consuming and we really don't have the time as we want to be finished with the opening as soon as possible. So we realized it may be best to find a new title card and use the black screen as a transition to the school. Ultimately we came up with the idea of getting more shots of the school and using that as a title card. 

Because of this we have to film again, the only problem is, of course, scheduling. None of us are available after school so we decided to find the shots of  the school that we wanted during class and actually film them individually either before school or during our lunches. Below are a few shots we thought may look good for the title card (once there is actual people and not just an empty school.) 

Another problem we came across was the "friendship" montage at the beginning of the film. Problem being: we had no idea what to do. One thing is for sure, we didn't want it to look like one those cookie cutter template edits. Initially, I was thinking it would be something like the opening from How I Met Your Mother. Then my group and I realized... we have no idea how to do that. So again, we brainstormed a few ideas from making a scrapbook and have Jordyn be flipping through the pages to creating an Instagram account for Jordyn have the opening be her scrolling on Instagram looking at all the pictures of Amelia and her as the voice over audio plays. But, we realized that these ideas would not be accurate to the narrative world as in our opening when you first meet Jordyn she is writing in her journal. Eventually we came up with the idea of printing photos of Isabel and I (Amelia and Jordyn) and but them on a wall/door and film those so that it appears as if the audience is getting a little glimpse of Jordyn's room before they meet her on screen. 

This means Isabel and I need a LOT more pictures together for us to print out. Below are a few pictures we've taken so far.
