  Today I am editing what I had previously recorded. Infact I started including the names of the casts and adding special effects to them. From the amount of footage I had, I managed to get enough editing in that had me completed probably half way through the video. 

 Today is the last day of spring break. I went over to my friend's house who is also apart of the recording and got some recording in. For the most part everything was a breeze and we only had to have a few retakes. It was a nice and sunny day to just relax after that. 

 The way I am putting my film together I personally feel is a great thing. I am going to start off with the first half as an opening without the characters being shown but that is not what is being edited. I edited what I already filmed which was probably only a good 30 seconds. I started off with the IMovie editing software, I am testing it out for now to make sure I am compatible with it. I already included a few transitions for the most part. For the first half, I am still debating whether I am going to use another editing software or not as it is going to contain something different from the second half.

 I can successfully say I began filming. Filming was not that difficult as it was the first day of filming. After school, I went over to my cousins' house to begin the filming process, as she is one of the characters played in my film. It did not take much to do and it was mostly simple. The only thing I would say was getting the angle right and getting the videos to come out good. There were a few bloopers of course but for the most part I am satisfied with the first day of filming. I cannot wait for more, I have a feeling it will all come out amazing in the long run.

 Today was originally supposed to be the day I was filming but so many things happened so fast. So most likely I will be filming a couple of days from now. This was not the original plan but not everything goes as planned. But when I do begin filming, I plan to start off exactly as I have it listed. In my book this is a minor setback for a major comeback, I have been feeling overwhelmed, Spring break is right around the corner and I plan to do most of my filming then.

 Today I decided to choose a song for my film. I was looking for a real sound that would match what I was going for. As it is a mysterious/drama based film. I believed it was best to choose some type of instrumental song as it would be easier for me to choose from. With that being said I chose the song, Mystery by GoSoundTrack.
