We asked some of our friends to help us with the acting since some of us in the group weren’t really good at acting and we were in charge of the technological aspect of the film. This was good because we were able to add more people so it wouldn’t be just one person acting that being Demetrius since Daniel and I were in charge of editing, filming, and lighting.

We had a problem when we finished filming and that was editing. It was hard for us because we didn’t know how to and we looked for help from my stepmom since she is a professional photographer and she knows a thing or two about film and editing. She helped so much halfway through the editing process we didn’t need her help anymore and we were able to finish it ourselves.

We came up with a schedule to fit everyone’s before we started filming so that way it doesn’t interfere with their activities after school and in the end it helped us finish our filming portion of the project and made time go by so much faster in the positive way because we were able to finish filming with so much time to spare.

Another major problem that we had before we started the filming was where we were going to film, and when we were going to film. This was a problem because another problem came along and that was how were we going to start it? These were major problems because we had to overcome them as quick as possible to then give us time at the end to edit.

One of the major problems we had before the filming was the script. We didn’t know how the format was supposed to look like so we had to re-do them 3 times. This was a good learning lesson because it helped use understand that there is a specific way to do it. Like everything there is a technique to do things and for the script it was the proper formatting and it helped us in the long run.

The dangers that film audiences could experience with one conglomerate controlling so many aspects of a film or TV show would be if there was an original show or movie and the conglomerate bought the rights to the show or movie it could either go right or wrong. They could have changed it so drastically that the people that have seen the old one might not like it because it is too different and it doesn’t feel too nostalgic. They also might like it because they made it better in quality and made it more interesting to watch. These are some of the dangers that in the end could hurt the conglomerates business ventures depending on the approach they take on the film or TV show.

When we were finishing our film we came across a problem with lighting. We noticed everything was too dark and we had to go back and re-do some of the filming where the lighting was a problem. We fixed this because since my mom is a professional photographer we were able to use her lighting source to improve the quality of the lighting and it payed off in the end.

A movie that I saw recently was Captain Marvel. This movie did really well domestically and overseas because it was pro-women and that was the main reason it did well in the box office. Another reason was because there was going to be a memorial of Stan Lee and his passing after the movie. This was important because he is the reason what marvel is today and it was important for the die hard fans to see.

For our final product we really have not had any major problems beside the fact of meeting up together to film. One of the group members has work and has to have it on a day off and another member has basketball practice and it conflicts with the group members work schedule. I have soccer practice and games on the weekends and that makes it hard because I travel far and sometimes I have to be gone the whole weekend. In the end we will make time but that is really the only major obstacle that we have to overcome since we have already figured out our previous problems we we first started the project.

We have everything figured out in terms of equipment needs, props, and everything else we are going to include in our films. We fixed our script to the needs of the last time we had problems with it. Our main problem wasn’t the text that was being used, it was mostly the format in which you are supposed to lay out the script. I think our biggest obstacle that will come our way is scheduling. The reason being is that the people in the group have after school activities so we will have limited days in which we can meet. This means that we will have to get a lot of work done on those limited days in which we can meet.
