Things are looking good!

 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back with another blog and I hope you all are having a great Sunday as you know I am. Today is the Super Bowl, so I will be watching it with family, but I wanted to update everyone on my progress. The props have been purchased and my group and I started filming yesterday. I got through the first opening sequence with them and it's relatively easy because I did one last year as my final task. It is more hard making it shorter as I only have five minutes to film this entire process but I am up for the challenge. Me and Kazmin have similar acting styles so it was easy to have that comradery. I got some good shots of myself plotting with Kaz with Noura filming. I was in my room with Kaz and I was able to get the part filmed where I was plotting how Kaz and I are going to make money.  This process took almost two hours which is pretty long. Considering only a minute of the film was filmed yesterday, this process will take a while. I'm happy to say that my team and I got along well and I'm ready for what's coming. Within my study of media studies, I am currently learning the aspect of media ecology. This is taking up some time in the filming process but I enjoy expanding my knowledge. This understanding of media ecology puts into perspective how the film I am making is so much different from what society used to be like back in the day. Anyways back to my short film, when I was sitting here thinking  I thought of something interesting. In big film industries, they mainly use green screen effects to portray a setting and I was wondering if I can do the same. I will be looking into this because portraying a party scene would be difficult in my plain backyard. I'm as always, excited for what I can come up with. I will let everyone know if I can find software that would allow for me to have a green screen of some sort. I'm going to get ready and prepare for the Superbowl now. Go chiefs!
