  Yesterday was the last day of filming. It all went very smoothly and there's not much left to do. Today I just need to edit. I need to put those new scenes into the project on iMovie. However, I have school today. I must take 2 tests and complete 4 classwork assignments. I spent my morning studying for psychology and calculus. I took the tests and feel like I did well. Then, in my last period of the day I completed my 4 classwork assignments. Now that I was able to get home, I could start editing. I had Lily send me the rest of the footage. Once I got it, I downloaded it to my camera roll. I imported it into the project and then it was fairly easy from there. I just had to move it to where I wanted it to fit into the film. Then, I had to adjust the background music to play during the clip. Next, I needed to adjust the volume lower because it was extremely loud at first. After this, I edited the credits into the film. I made sure the font fit the aura surrounding the film. Lastly,

  I had a slow start to today because of yesterday. I got up at around 11 AM. Which is extremely unusual for me. I typically get up around 8 AM, but I was just exhausted. Anyways, I got up and then texted Lily and my friend Logan. I told them to be at my house for 1 PM. I just needed to re-shoot some scenes and it was fairly quick. Lily got here first, so I got her a drink and we chatted about what exactly we needed to touch up. I got the gist and immediately knew that it was gonna go smoothly. I told Logan to bring his drone so that we could have a really good establishing shot. He got here and I gave him a drink. Then, I had him fly his drone out to get the shot. He did so and we all looked at it. It was amazing and felt that was the best that we were going to get. So, then it was time for me and Lily to re-shoot a scene where her dad(me) yells at her and she runs into her room. So, we were shooting and she SLIPPED! She was okay and we were all laughing so hard. I'm glad we got i

 It is now the weekend again. Doesn't feel like it though, I had to do so much today. I woke up at 6 AM to get ready for a long day. By the end of the day, I had to complete a 5-hour test, 7 hour shift, and 2 hours of chores. First, I had to do the test. So, I got up and ate something nutritional. I then took a shower to wake myself up. Then, I had to grab my testing ticket and calculator. I left out the door and started driving when I realized I forgot my ID. I need my ID to prove my identity for the test. Once I got it, I drove to the school and took the test. I felt pretty good about everything, I felt like I performed well. Once that was over it was around noon. I went home and had to do the dishes and all my laundry. I did the dishes first. Then I washed, dried, and folded all my laundry within two hours. I had to get dressed for work extremely quickly, but I did it. I also made it on time which I was not expecting. I ended up having an easier work shift than I thought I was g

  Today I really wanted to wrap up filming. I want to just have it done so that I can feel less of a weight on my shoulders. However, things didn't go as planned. I ended up getting tons of busy work from my other classes. I got 3 physics assignments because I had been absent a couple days. Then, I learned that I have a calculus test next period. Which means I am going to be spending a long day and night studying for that. Then, in English I am required to have a 4 page research paper done within a week. It is about a famous author James Patterson. I thoroughly enjoy his books and life story. So, the paper shouldn't be super difficult considering I enjoy the topic. It will just be time consuming and limiting the amount of time I have to film and edit. Especially since Lily has work of her own. She must study for the same calculus test that I am taking. In addition, she has a massive biology study guide that she must complete by the end of the night. She also does many extracurr

Today was a planned filming day to re-shoot some scenes. We already have all the scenes we need. Some just need to be touched up. I had Lily drive over to my house. That way we could discuss what the film needed. Plus, we needed to prepare ourselves for filming. Then, of course there was a hurricane warning on the news. So, that immediately cut off any plans that we had. There was gonna be no filming, only editing. But, we didn't have very much to edit. I ended up realizing I needed to finish inserting some audio into the clips. I ended up doing that while Lily was just relaxing. Once I finished I told Lily that we could edit some transitions. She said we should save it for another day and enjoy the "day off" that we're provided with. I agreed, so I decided to go play billiards with her and we listened to some music. She beat me all 5 times but we don't talk about that. I was sick of losing, so I told her we should play some board games. I fancy chess, it's my

                                                     At this point, we have nearly finished all filming. I would say we're 90% done with that. The only scenes we have left are the ones we want to perfect. However, I have decided to start the editing process. I am going to use Imovie as my editing platform. I find that we do not need many effects in our film. If it is necessary then I will use another editing software. Like I said, I don't feel as though I would need to. I uploaded some of the film files to Imovie and started adding the text for the credits opening/closing sequences and such. This was fairly straightforward. I just needed to type in the text and then add the green screen effect. This allowed the text to fall right onto the screen. The next step was to add the background music. I couldn't figure it out so I let it up to Lily to teach me. It was actually pretty straightforward. I needed to screen record the video of the audio and then insert the file into the
