One last reflection

Hey Bloggers, it's Hayden. This is going to be my final post before my film and CCR's are made accessible for you to see!  

 

   For the past seven weeks I've been working on this project, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the way that it's come out. Originally, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do. I practically about to doing something that many before me have already done, practically following a plain routine, and I kept telling myself that it wasn't going to be a regular routine that there was going to be something different about it that maybe the person falls in love at the end or their mundane life is changed for the better. Although, after explaining this to the people around me I realized that those ideas got nothing to do with any of my interests and it's not something I would find myself passionate about. So, after many collaborative talks with my peers, advisors, and mentors, I decided to do something that felt closer to me. So, I settled into the genre of psychological horror as it is probably one of my favorites. All I do is watch movies and it is always the number one genre, either thriller or horror. 

    I will admit that I am a procrastinator and that may have caused some setbacks in my overall production, however I'm pretty proud of my opening. I like the routine shots that I was able to achieve. While editing for thefirst time, I was really impressed with the coloring, especially in the bathroom scenes as I mentioned many times that it got the clinical coloring I wanted. Even with the setbacks of location and time management between my brother and I acting in two different shows, my brother playing Adam in Beetlejuice and I myself as Sophie in Mamma Mia. I was able to push through those and ensure that my filming took place within the classroom and at home.

     I'm also grateful to all those who participated in filming both in the opening and my CCR's. So, I wanted to additionally thank Cole Diaz, Brandon Diaz, Sarah Diaz, Timothy Petraitis, Jana Gonzalez, and Brianna Gutierrez for being a part of something so special to me. I was also grateful that I could include so many small Easter eggs that meant something to me whether it was the name of the podcast or my production company. It's the little things that I like to stick with. Filming both CCR's was originally stressful for me as I find it hard to manage other people to get the result that I want, looking back now I found it really fun to work with people I love knowing that they are spending their time trying to perfect and help in my vision.

    Overall, I hope this project portrays my vision as I saw it, and once again thank you Cambridge for this opportunity, I am so grateful for having gotten to learn and practice what I know now.
