 I've been so stressed, but I think I've finally chosen what program I'm going to use for the commercial assignment. Guys, let me tell you how stressful this process was. I had decided I wanted to use another program. However, after much consideration and realizing which program was going to be easier for me to use, I decided on Cap-cut. From what my friends and many classmates have told me, it's the easiest and more known of the optional programs. I haven't decided on the song yet, but I really close to deciding which one. For now I'm set off the pictures for the commercial, I have also been picking up a few hobbies and new shows to add to the assignment, like Gilmore Girls and Anne with an E. These are shows me and my mother watch together for comfort. My mother and I are really close, it has been just us two since I was 3 and she's been the most hard working mother, she was even the first collage and high school graduate from the national university of El Salvador. She has been one of my biggest inspirations and pillars in my life. So I wanted to implement her a tad bit more,  so that the commercial is more of "me". 



This is me opening up Cap-cut while also being on a call with my best friend Johanna. She more experience in using this specific program so I want a little from her to do my transitions and add the music. I remember for my 12th birthday, she made an edited video with some of my favorite things and special moments from that year. My mother was busy at work and my birthday falls on Thanksgiving break, so I was all alone that day. I also have a trial on Saturday, the mock trial team is going up against this other really good school so I want to add pictures of that. I have been studying the affidavits really heard so that everything goes well and I can make the team proud. I want to be a valuable member, so I want to excel I any position I'm given, in this case, a witness. It might not seem like much but any experience I'm given. 


This is me reading the affidavit and hanging out with my cat while I make a T-Chart on the types of questions I may get crossed for. I don't have much more to say for now so bye!

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up.  The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required. It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group dec...

 Hey guys welcome back quick update, a lot of things changed. Well a lot was forced to, due to our extenuating circumstances and the production of this is music video. Let me explain, to make things simple, the video won’t be going on script with the storyboard. I put my party and even though I had just gotten out of competition, and hadn’t eaten, I put my part in and brought my best friend in order to complete the ideal goal. However, a lot of problems arose, some being mine and others not so much.  One of the problems that I had was in fact, competition, I was not aware of how late the final round would last and my group meme era had to film the lonely part by them selves, Ayannah and Benjamin. I ended up finally being free at around 3:30 pm, and had to run and pick up my best friend in order to even make it to see the team. There was in fact some negative feels towards me but I couldn’t control it and I changed the schedule and filming period in order to make time for every...
