  This is the final production of this film. Me and my team worked every hard to come up and plan, revise and produce this film. Thank to everyone who supported all along the way. Including my teacher of this course, also to Cambridge for giving me this special opportunity to fabricate this unique film. 

We got critical feedback to our film. Firstly, that we needed to slow down the intro of our film for greater resolution. Also, to better explain the story and add more clips to engage the film.

  Camera Composition     We created a storyboard that shows variously elements of camera composition. To begin with, camera composition is how you frame your subject and anything further that's in the frame. Also, camera composition can expand a story, disclose characters and produce emotions. Some examples of this are  Rule of 3rd's, Symmetry, deep focus etc. Foremost, the rule of 3rd places a character, presenting their relationship towards other elements in the scene. Using this helps to line things up, for example, in interviews.  A second example is a Symmetry shot. A symmetry shot is when both sides of the scene are mirrored images. Utilizing this can uncover character traits or dominance. One good example of this looking back at Wes Anderson (talented filmmaker) movies.

  What Could've been Firstly, there's the main character Amari. He isn't the best kid but... has good intentions. He comes from a rough background. Through his struggles, Amari mirracously still gets back up. Fast forward Amari is in high school and suddenly meets his girl Kandace, they were that high school couple-literally. They make reckless choices and Kandace ends up getting pregnant... Amari doesn't know what to do, possessing for a answer. Not soon after Amari ends up getting arrested and is separated from his lover. Not knowing what he did that landed him there, Amari thinks he's being framed... and starts searching for an answer.

  Bloopers Amari (Main character) was trying to tell Kandace and her friend how they should get into their roles and act.

   Bloopers  In this clip, we were trying to get a close-up video of Kandace, to really show sad emotions since Amari just went to  jail. But Kandace got out of character, and we had to re-do.

  Bloopers In this clip, Kandace was breaking the news that she's pregnant but Amari flipped over the paper and read it backwards. 

Bloopers  Amari and Kandance are discussing about future date's options and Amari says saying that makes both of them laugh.

Bloopers   In this clip, Kandace is trying to tell her friend that she's pregnant but mistakenly says Amari (a boy) is pregnant. 

  One of the things that made this film come to life was being organized. Having roles and responsibilities helped to establish this. My role was being a production manager, director and editor. This was crucial to the outcome.
