Overall Reflection

 Wow! I can't believe this is going to be my last blog, basically since the next one is all my links.... This was more fun than I expected and I can't believe it's over! Time to enjoy my break!!! But before I go I need to write this reflection! 

    The first few weeks were a bit stressful, probably the most in this project to be honest... I had to sit at my computer for at least 2-3 hours to get at least half of my research done.. I know my blogs were never that long but I didn't really ever post everything because I felt it would get too boring to read.. I think this is the first class I actually sat down for a few hours straight to do research since my other classes never required research, but instead to just look into a textbook. I enjoyed only a few parts of the research, which was when I got to watch parts of the movies I was researching... For example, 

Everything Everywhere All at Once, was such a good movie, in my opinion at least, it made me regret doing a drama... but I don't think I have the editing capabilities to make a good one... maybe in the future! 

    After the research came the planning... this was DEFINITELY the most stressful. We couldn't figure out what we wanted to do and we were just bouncing around two different genres and ideas... but THANK GOODNESS we figured it out (it was only because we had a deadline...) if we didn't have a schedule we probably wouldn't have figured out what we wanted to do even now! We eventually stuck with doing a drama about a young woman who has a gambling addiction and I'm pretty happy with it! 

    Next came the filming. I thought it would take more than a few days to film everything, but surprisingly we got it down in two days! The only thing I regret not doing is not filming on my partners phone! There's really nothing we can do now since its due in like 4 days and I'm kind of in Orlando..! Not sure why but filming days are always when I have the most fun! I think it's just because my partners are too awesome that even on stressful days like filming we have fun :) This is a throwback to our first filming day where we scratched off lottery tickets and how we got our film name!!! 

    After the filming was theee editing!!! It wasn't too bad other than the fact that we couldn't edit at the same time, but we just made a schedule on who would edit that day, so I guess it wasn't THAT big of a deal. 

    Overall I had so much fun. I didn't realize that doing my AICE EXAM could be fun..... I wish I could take A Level but I unfortunately don't have space in my schedule next year since I'm doing the AICE Diploma... I had already been told that this class could be fun but I didn't realize it was gonna be this much funnnnnnn. I think what made it better was the COOLEST friends I made and my AMAZING teacher. I can't believe we only have 9 more weeks of school and half of that were testing so I basically won't be able to see them anymore... I learned so much from this class about the media I was on everyday and I've been able to see content differently (sometimes) in a good way of course! 

    I have so much to say but none of it is coming up to my mind... I think my mind is just being overflowed by the things I want to say... but I think this pretty much sums up how I feel and what I learned from this. Again, I'm so grateful for all the people I met throughout this journey, I know this isn't the end but I still wanna say thanks :) also, I'm grateful for everyone who is reading this right now. Okay BYEEEE!! ENJOY READING MY BLOG 🙏🩷
