Today we started filming after school, at the galleria mall.  After a few minutes of walking around looking for the perfect space rich with ornaments and decorations we found the spot right under the tree. Our scenes went to plan and exactly how we played them out in our head. As well as the transition from gift box to the beach snowman. This transition scene to the snowman took a while because we had to wait for people to move out of the way since it was a public area. This area was over crowded at the time and took a few shots just to get it perfect. The shot we envisioned was that the snowman would be directly behind the sun and no people would be in the shot. The beach snowman also looked very good on camrea and it fit the theme of the song. It was also pretty close to the galleria mall which made our commute there convenient. The drive there was only about 8 minutes thankfully. Another issue we encountered was there was no parking at all, we had to wait for someone to leave. The other coinvnent thing was these filming locations were also close to our school which helped us save time. The Christmas tree and decoration were also perfectly placed at the mall. We used the mall props to our advantage by including them in our video. Some of the props we panned the cameras to were Christmas tree, reefs, ornaments, and gifts. These allowed our video to become more unique. The tree was unique because it had interesting ornaments on it portraying fort Lauderdale's history. Some reefs also had lights and pictures in them which made some shots pop. The palm trees in the mall also made our snowman scene more tropical and fit the mood for the song. Going to the galleria was a great idea because of the in budget plans and free decorations anyone can enjoy.

   The opening credits and title sequence of my film will most likely be in a font called "Jumble." My group and I decided to choose this font of them all since we think it fits the overall mood and genre the best. "Jumble" has a messy, cartoony look to it making it perfect for a comedy. The other options that my group and I looked at were, "Aldhabi," "Ahoroni," and "Ink Free." Aldhabi consists of a roman like style font, which would seems to be more on the sophisticated end. The "Ahoroni" font is a bold caps locked font which started to fit the comedy feel, but could be better such as spacing between lettering. "Ink Free" is a messy font that looks drawn in pencil, it has a very cartoony feel to it which was going to be our alternate font. We didn't choose this font as it would fit more of a cartoon film rather than what ours would be. My group and I are still working on a title, what we have in mind is "PU...

 I am excited to be back and working with the same group because of our ability to work together. This time around me and my group may add an extra person to help us succeed with editing. We want someone good at editing because of their ability to do what we can't do. Since preforming well on the commercial we sinned changed around a few people because of the poor editing skills. The music video also went well because of our new group mate that was alone bed\fore our project ha started. Since our group is well put together, we started organizing our project better because of new group mates that forced their habits on us. Thus, was beneficial to us because of the new habits that were good. These habits included good organization and advanced vocabulary towards this project. During all these projects it is a constant learning scale always achieving more. And constantly advancing. Some vocabulary words that have stayed with us are simply fancy words for editing brought by one of our ...
