This year was my senior year, and it was supposed to be the best. Truthfully? This past semester has been the worst in E-com Ive ever had. Not because of you Mrs. Smith, but because of the way our feature film was executed. This year I was genuinely excited to actually be involved, and get to make the movie poster. I was excited to get to actually have a role. In my last blog post I even said "    My production role is Publicist, which is the one I wanted. Im excited about this years film if we execute it correctly. I already have ideas for the poster and Im excited to allow my photography side come into this class." I waited for weeks to be told what to do and when we would schedule a photoshoot, I drew up a sketch for what I had an idea for, I even showed Courtney for the documentary because I genuinely thought I was going to get to do what I had been looking forward to. Leah told me multiple times she was going to come and talk to me and I even asked her about it once

From January to March 6 we had a PSA due in class. Ann, Ashlee, Tim, Brady and I all chose to do a PSA on human or sex trafficking. We chose to do this subject because it will always be a pressing issue and will never end. In this video we had struggles of finding people who would act, so we ended up using our own group members. As a group we couldnt always find time to film together so that was the most difficult part of our filming process. We had an idea of what to do for the film from the start so that was easier. We wanted something creepy and scary since this subject is creepy and scary to all. Ashlee directed and edited, I helped film and edit and direct, and Tim filmed. Brady helped act. Our biggest struggle was the fact that our camera wouldnt work so we had to use an iphone to film but we believe it turned out okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmamuiUWkHQ
