journey you have taken as a This film was a lot of fun to film. Even though we had a bumpy road through the end of it I would still like to do something like this once again. Probably something on a larger scale than two minutes. During the start of this film, I wasn't too keen on details, but as we continued I began becoming more and more invested in it. I have learned so many new things. Things like how to block out wind and other noise, and how to use the noise to our advantage. The only thing I dislike and wish we could've to fix was how choppy some of the scenes transition fits. Somethings that I like is the time and dedication that was put into something like this. A career that I feel like I could pursue now is like an editor or a director. On the other hand, I would try to stay away from being a cameraman. 

 This is our final project. It took some time to compile all of our footage into a two-minute film, but with enough time and dedication, we managed to pull it off. It may not be our best work, but it won't be our last. We will slowly continue getting better and better after each film we create until we are satisfied. We hope that you enjoy the little film we created called "The Understanding". We made the film to give a little inside of what the life of a high school student is like. All the stress and the anxiety one may go through because of school, work, and any other activities.

 When we were looking through our footage we realized that some of our outside scenes were a bit grey. All the clouds were blocking out the sunlight which caused us to try and use different filters to try and add more colors to the scene rather than letting it look bland and greyish. Another problem we saw/heard when we replayed our footage was the wind. The wind was blowing quite hard, hard enough that we could barely hear the actors speak. We had to reshoot those scenes because the other scenes became unusable. The cameraman had to film on the opposite side of where the wind was blowing to try and block out as much wind as possible. Another problem we faced was the cars and people. We were filming at a park so a lot of people were, so we tried to talk as loudly as possible to try and drown them out. We were able to drown them out, but we were still able to hear them in the film. It was okay because it just made the film look and sound more realistic. It would be weird to be in a ...

 We already began sending all the clips to each other and slightly editing them. We also added some music to the background. We had an issue choosing what song to choose seeing as how they were hundreds of songs to pick from. We had to choose a song that would correlate with all the different scenes and moods that are being conveyed in our film. We had to crop all the scenes because some of the frames were either too big or too little. We also have to shorten some of the clips. Some of the clips when added all together they were too long for the two-minute time limit. Knowing that my partner cropped some of the beginnings of each scene to try and meet the requirement. In the day it took to begin editing the clips we had to reconsidered taking more takes and which shots to reconsider this time around. My partner and I had to discuss which scenes should we keep and which ones that wasn't feeling right. As we continued watching the clips we saw that some of them had some good parts to...
