Continued editing

 May 19th 2023


    It was another prolonged day with a lot of editing. We started the day with yet another breakfast that we made at home and then wanted to get started right away on editing. We still have a lot of work to do and we want to make sure we get it all done on time, while also being a quality project. So we started our morning with a lot of editing, we were cutting clips on our interview with Kyle to make it more concise and flowy. We kept editing Kyles interview while also multitasking and considering what we want for the intro music. Therefore we looked on YouTube for some inspiration and looked for some good intro songs. We haven’t decided yet but we now have the outro song and some final contenders for the intro. The documentary is looking very good and very well put together and both of us are really happy with how it looks so far. After a long edit session we took a break and went and played some tennis. It was nice to be outside and enjoy the nice weather. Then we came back home, made a really good dinner which was cacio e pepe which is this really good pasta dish. After we were super full from the amazing dinner we made we went back to the editing. The second session was us continuing were we had left on from the morning session so we kept finishing up those cuts and continue thinking for the next day.

Preparing for departure

     Today began the first day of an exciting two weeks! I fly out tomorrow from Boston and will be on a six hour flight to Los Angeles. Today, I packed my bags and started communicating with people that we are planning on interviewing. I also started thinking of places and ideas that I want to film and how I want it to all turn out. My ideas of the product are ever changing and I am very excited to fly out tomorrow. Today was a day filled with preparation and communication to prepare for a week in LA where I will be learning film. It was crucial today to make sure that I had all the materials needed to make sure I am well equipped for the trip. I am really excited for tomorrow where I will be making the 6 hour trip and continue to brainstorm some film ideas. 

Arriving in Los Angeles

  May 9th 2023    Today was the day of travel and the start to me and Camila’s week in LA. I woke up at 5:45am to go to the airport to catch my 6 hour flight.  It was a very long travel day but very exciting and once I landed I was ready to start the project. I found Camila and our adventure started! The main objective for today was to create our questions for our interview/ studio tour tomorrow. We want to make sure we get a lot of footage tomorrow and that our interview is very well thought out. After creating our interview questions we decided to get some rest for our big day tomorrow. We got 2 hours total. 

Weekly reflection #2

 May 21st, 2023      What a week it has been. To introduce you to this week I will give you a little rundown. We started this week by traveling from across the country from LA all the back to Boston. Camila and I took a red eye which kind of messed up our sleep schedule. The prior week we had learned been really busy so the both of us were ready to relax and focus on putting the documentary together. Besides starting our week with traveling it was time for us to get creative and get ideas for what we wanted to do. We had a lot of great content from the prior week from our interviews and filming different shots of LA.      This week we accomplished a lot. We finished the documentary in total which is amazing and really exciting. I learned this week how to make videos pleasing to the ears and eyes. To make the documentary engaging you have to crop all of the videos to edit out parts of the interview where the person talking maybe paused or said um. Cropping the interviews took a lot of t
