This project has been a hassle! At first Amanda and I had our whole project completely done from the start to the end. We were extremely excited to start the project because we really did have a specific vision that we were going for. At first we had a specific genre of Romance and it was a story that I have always wanted to bring together and film. 

This short film has been quite a process for the most part especially because at first Amanda and I were working like snails, we were going so slow as if we had all the time in the world. But then we got some bad news that came our way that comepley changed our process of everything between filming and just about everything. It affected everything and we had to completely change our genre, along with your overall theme. With the coronavirus in our way everyone has been under quarantine Amanda and I were unable to leave our homes and every public place has been closed. Leaving everyone was on house arrest, even school was closed. I know that this has been extremely disappointing not only for me but most of my peers because we all had high hopes into making this portfolio project the absolute best. I know that for the most part many of my classmates were disappointed in this happening because we were unable to film the project that we all had visioned and were ready to create. 

Although this did not stop Amanda and I from making the absolute best project that we possibly could, so instead of making it a romantic parody we decided to make it just a parody on the ways to be safe with the coronavirus. This idea was really good for us because we knew that we would be able to create it. We thought that it would be just a perfect idea to mock all of the people (moms)that are being extremely over dramatic about the coronavirus.

This film was pretty difficult though because of the limited time that we had but it all worked out fine, although the editing process was a mission. Amanda had to create a whole 5 minute voice over and it had to match completely with the footage that was being placed. Since Amanda and I decided to mute the video, we had to come up with our sound effects and that took FOREVER. Especially because we had to sink the sound effects perfectly with the footage being shown it was a huge task that we needed to get done, but it turned out just fine. 

I feel this project was pretty difficult because we did have some trouble with the website along with the links but we eventually managed.Thus project took a complete turn on us from the start to end because we did not think we would end up with the film that we now have, but I know that we did the best that we could with the resources around us. I overall enjoyed this project and learned a lot of new things from it, great learning experience.
