  • CAMS: Pan

  • CLAMPS: athletic or casual clothing, mainly located outside, very realistic powerful acting, mostly basic makeup, props are usually things like weapons, and a dark intense setting

  There are many ways to find information. You could use the internet, read a book, or even take a class for the subject. I am using a credible website to obtain knowledge of how to incorporate titles into my opening sequence. I have no experience with doing titles. Therefore, I have a lot of researching to do.

I have learned to use my resources and transform them into something great. This project's editing was harder than the others in my opinion. I wanted to include some transitions and effects. This requires me to dig deep to figure out how I could achieve this. I faced a few obstacles along the way. It was very discouraging but I just reminded myself that you have to push through and it will all be worth it at the end. After reevaluating myself I became more driven than ever. I was determined to create something worth being proud of. I then went through my resources to assess which one would be the most useful in my situation. This was a time consuming task. There was a lot of trial and error involved. Although this took me a great deal of time, this is not the task that took the longest. I spent most of my editing making sure everything ...
