 The issues we encountered during the production of our project would have to be certain restrictions we faced at home, and not to mention editing was a bit of a hassle for this project as well since we have to add music, cut sone seconds off of clips and more. The changes we made to our story were not too major aside from us changing some ideas for some scenes, such as the bathroom scenes and the newspaper scene as well. I learned many things, such as learning how to edit slightly and how to record scenes more efficiently and effectively without much movement being required and such. The information I used for this project that I learned from class would be learning how to storyboard properly and creating shots such as static that we learned back then, which helped exponentially with the project. But aside from all of that, everything went smoothly and in the end and we are ready for the final stretch.

  The amount of time we spent editing at best was between 10-20 minutes in total with 3 minutes being for each scene and such. The people involved with editing were all 3 of us. Payton, Patrick, and me ( I was unable to get their pictures because of something happening with their cameras and such. ) and for additional filming it may take an extra 10 minutes to make it look good as possible and such, such as adding the extra credits scene and more.

  We mainly cut the videos by some clips to reduce the amount of time that was on them and such, for the effects there really isn’t anything we added. However the video transitions are mainly cuts into another shot and such The problems I encountered during editing was many clips were being copied and put into the same clip I been trying to edit and such. However thankfully the solution was too simply get rid of the copied clip and make sure to avoid the same mistake and such done the first time.

The changes we made to the storyboard are not really massive compared to the first one. However, many changes can be noticeable. As for the first scene, It’s relatively the same except for the sound of the Poptart being more evident, for the second scene. the trash now has many more items in it compared to the first, as it emits a wrapper sound. With a knife seen inside of it. For the third scene there’s a lot of new changes. As blood can be seen in the sink and such, and the water emits a sound now, as it’s used to clean the blood inside the sink. For the next scene, same as well. However a slight background sound can be heard, however instead of a pile of clothes. It’s a shirt being thrown aggressively against the wall, The next scene with the tv is the same, only thing that’s added is that it’s supposed to be a static screen now emitting noise. For yet our next scene, same as well but it’s outside the house instead of inside. As a door opening n can be heard. For our next scene, it’...

 Our first day filming went pretty smooth, as we were mainly working on prototypes and such before we start the actual thing. Our shooting schedule is a bit all over the place, but we are able to think of various ways to work around it. This scene in which I will show with pictures if a prototype and won’t be applied to the final product of the project. As the scene shows the killer turning the tv off with children toys around it and evident blood on the knife.
