Preparation time!

We're at the final stretch of the project, finishing our final details for props and costumes so we can start filming! We decided that the more "home-made" props are the better, considering they will create a more realistic opening. After extensive research, we saw that in no way do sex-traffickers spend money while going through this malicious act. Their whole mindset is to gain profit to any extent, spending money is not an option. That is why we are going to use a broken down van and use duct tape as "name tags." We are also are going to use broken down tattoo machines and an old printer to get the right "cheap-aesthetic."

We got all of the girls photos and are ready to film!

It’s filning time and it’s getting late! We’re going to push through however and get it done. It’s been six hours of filming so far, I never thought it would take this long for a few minutes of film opening! Luckily, we are are all on the same page and want to have the best film opening as possible!

We finished filming and can’t wait to edit!

Nos, we’re starting to edit by watching different videos and websites that have information on how to get the cam recorder effect that we were looking for. Rendering the video is the longest process so far, it’s been taking over 2 hours to render our video and we’re not even done editing! Now after finishing we must render it again to export it, an even longer process. So tgere we were, sitting t Panera for 8 hours, eagerly waiting for the final result of our video to be produced! The time couldn’t go anyyyy slower! We were so excited to see it. When it came out we all jumped to our feet and started cheering, for our video was done.

As soon as we finished, I went straight home and asked my family to come over for a screening of my first film opening! They came over and started watching... my grandma began crying and everyone left with chills! The film opening was a complete success and I couldn’t be any happier! GO US!
