 Though we haven't finished filming, due to the looming deadline I decided to get started on the editing. The film opening is turning out very well, thought i have encountered an issue. Adobe Premiere, and Da Vinci Resolve are not downloading on my laptop. 4 different people have attempted to help, using different site, etc, but they just wouldn't download. This is why I'm using Filmora 14. Despite not being as good as the other two, it is easy to use, and gets the job done.  Another issue we are encountering is the quality of the clips. Its perfect on camera, but once we transfer it into the laptop the quality gets ruined. I will try to find a solution to that, but for now there's nothing more we can do about it.

 We called some cast members over, and practiced our first scene. Once it was over we rewatched all the clips, and attempted to put them together. Once we did that, we realized the clips looked decent separately, but we could not find a way to put them together.  We then called a friend of ours for guidance. He knows his way around the film industry, and explained to us what we did wrong. As he went on, we realized our mistakes so far were all due to not understanding how to implement what we learnt in real life situations. Though we did do some preliminary exercises, they only involved taking pictures using different camera settings on our phones, most of which, we did not have.  We improved the script, as some scenes would stretch out too much, and it was risky to film with our time limit. We shuffled through ideas, quickly weighing out the pros and cons. We will Hopefully start filming again on Wednesday, this time with ore preperation.
