Today my.group and I talked about how we felt overall with our project before we turned it in tomorrow. My group and I overall felt very proud of what we were able to create given all the circumstances that came about that we worked around. My group and I worked very hard together throughout this process in order to crete the opening that we made. The project exceeded above our expectations and we could not be more pleased and happy with how it turned out. Through all the ups and downs, in the end it was totally worth it as our project tuned out amazing!!

Today I am starting on my reflection questions for the project since it is basically completed with only needing a couple small changes here and there. These reflection questions will really allow my group and I to reflect on this journey for the project as a whole and really see the growth and progress that was made along this journey.

Today kennedy sent the opening of the movie again to the group message as it now has titles and music behind it. The opening really came together however, there was a slight issue with capitalization on the titles but we made sure to tell her so it got fixed and was proper. Since we have to turn in the project by may 8th, me and my group are making sure to finish up all the other work that comes along with the opening. Now that our opening is basically done with only touch ups needing to be done here and there, me and my group can focus on the reflection questions.

The type of music my group and i choose for the opening is a subtle, soft music, with an indie vibe to it. It is called "Pictures of You" by Lauren Ruth Ward. Once my group and i first listened to the song we knew it was perfect for the opening as it fit right with the theme.

For our movie opening we decided it would be best if we really didn't have transitions and it just went directly from one clip to the next.  This will give it the quick change to the different perspectives look that would make the opening look the best. With the titles and how they would appear and disappear, my group and i decided a simple fade in and fade out would look best as we don't want anything that will be too quick or sudden to where the focus is lost.

Looking at titles to movies intros, there have been a couple types that have been of interesting. One being those with a shadow behind them. These ones are cool because it makes the title like its 3-d or standing up.
