REFLECTION

HII BLOG!! Today officially marks the day that the AICE project comes to an end! Although I can't help but say I'm excited, but also extremely grateful to have gone through this whole process, and especially to go through it with my closest friend, Nicole. Without her, I literally would NOT have known what to do and would've been so lost. These past 9 weeks have been stressful, yet super exciting and fun as it is rewarding to see everything come together in the end.

Honestly, the whole 9 weeks did not feel long at all and felt like 4 weeks at most. From the beginning, I had serious doubts about this and was extremely nervous, as this was something super new to me and my partner and we had never even THOUGHT of doing anything close to a movie opening. But as time went on, I soon learned that I knew more than I genuinely thought I did, as everything that I had done prior in that class all came together and helped me in the making of this. Since this project allowed so much creative freedom and was not strict on rules, it helped me and my partners' creativity flow as much as we wanted it to, which helped us a lot too as we never felt restricted or like we could not put our own original ideas out there.

One of the things I mostly struggled with was editing, as prior to this project I had only done minimalistic editing for basic projects, but I knew that for this one it would be more complex. Something that really helped me was the own schedule I had made prior to even starting the project, which helped with staying on track and helped me notice if we were ever falling behind. Even though the schedule was not followed, it was still a good guideline to have.

I can honestly say that in these past 9 weeks, I have learned so much. This project helped me with not only editing and filming, but also managing time, and with skills that I will need for my whole life. I can proudly say that these 9 weeks went by smoothly, and I'm super grateful to have the end product of our opening, remains;

My last 2 blog post will be my CCRS and opening. Thank you for following along this journey, and I hope you enjoy!!
