This is my last blog post before my video and CCR is posted, eeek! Although I am relieved that this project is over, I will admit I liked being given the freedom to create my own product was a great and accomplishing feeling. I was able to research something I am passionate about, and that is somewhat relevant to the times we are living in today. Although any children of the world are not directly fighting as soldiers in a war, there are parts of the world where war is occurring and children are forced to mature at a faster rate. Children all over the world, more specifically in third world countries, are facing traumatic experiences daily and having to fight their innocence in order to keep going forward.

Transitioning to a different subject, I do have one more challenge associated with my film, the ending. I have edited everything up until 1 minute 47 seconds. However, I still have one scene where the protagonist is interacting with her brother at breakfast. The scene does fit within the timeframe, but I am not sure if I should include the scene because of some technical errors I am having with it. The major issue I am having with including the scene is the fact that it is too rushed in my opinion. The characters don’t even say good morning to one another, but the rest of the scene is usable. So far, I had my parents watch it and my mom said to add the footage, while my father says to stop the film there. I am looking to get opinions from my peers over the weekend, and I will decide then. As of right now, I feel that if I take the time to work around the mistake, I would be able to include the scene in my opening. Thank you for reading, final product in my next post!
