        Intention Definition & Exploration of Ideas 

    The theme I chose to focused on was looking inward. I chose this theme because I feel that it is a theme that most people can relate too.  For my film, majority of my ideas came from tv shows or movies that I watch and that focused on the themes looking inward. A couple of examples of tv shows that I watch, that help inspire me are Elite, Sex Education, Greys Anatomy. But the shows that I got my most inspiration from, was the tv show Euphoria. Euphoria centers around high school kids and their struggles in and outside of school. The film that I made, focuses one main character and the her struggles on trying to please and her mother.

     Planning

To help me with me create this film I used a YouTube channel called Studio Binder, and they have a lot videos break down the different parts of film making and directing styles. Once I had an idea of what I wanted to make I started typing my script in google docs. After  finishing my script in Docs I then wrote my script in celtx. Shortly after working on my script in celtx, I started working on story board. While working on script I also started researching music I would want to use for the background.

Evaluating

I thought that the film progress went pretty well. There definitely a lot of things that could of things that I could of fixed. But I am happy with how the lighting looks in the film and I happy with how the composition looked in the film. I think that next time I should focus more on editing audio and having more of a plan when it comes to shooting my film, because I kind of would just film scene I thought would be easiest. 

Integrating 

What I have learned from this progress is that I shouldn't rely on other people when it comes to working on film, and I also learned not to dwell on problems, because I original was going to do this film with my friend but are schedules didn't work, so I had to quit working on the film with my friend. Which is probably why I wanted to switch to animation. But other than that I happy with how the film turned out. And now that I'm in animation I going focus mainly on characters design.
