  The images above are of the opening scene we selected and me putting the videos together and cutting them to make our film. The purpose of our films plot it to represent the idea of a maze because of this it took us a lot of time to determine in what order the stair cases and doors being opened scene should be placed. When   editing our first clip we had to crop it and make it more   stabilized.   Our main problems when beginning to edit dealt with the sound and the order of the clips. Despite having filmed the different shots in order, we had to make modifications to fit our film because we realized when putting the shots together that some didn't work in their designated positions. Additionally, we had to the cut sound in some of the clips because there were students talking in the background. In our first week of editing we were  unable to get to fonts and titles, for decided to re-film a little shot, and fix up our clips. In our first week of filming the only video effects Li

In our second week of filming my partner, Lissa acted and I was the cameraman, so I filmed all the shots. The images attached above are all screenshots of shots and angles we filmed throughout our week of filming. Lissa had to bring her green sweater and black leggings everyday to change into when filming to ensure that our film is consistent. We got all of our filming done this week, except our last shot because it would be outside of the school, so we planned to do it at the beginning of the followign week. 

The photos above were pictures Lissa and I took pictures of the different camera shot we wanted to use on the opening scene our film. It took a lot of time to figure out how we were going to film our opening clip.  The images above are screenshots of a videos I recorded and took in order to figure out how we wanted to film Lissa running down the stairs; different angles and shots.  Attached above are the photos and screenshots Lissa and I took our first days of filming. We didn't actually commence our filming till the following week, for our first we spent determining our locations and practicing shots of what angles we wanted. Along with this we got a good idea of our timing with the different shots and acting. This process was time consuming, for Lissa and I filmed in school; we did however decided to film around lunch time and the passing periods to ensure little background noise and getting people in the background of our camera shots.
