 Many people find it hard to believe that things like bullying, abuse and depression exist so this video it used to help open up the minds that don’t believe while still helping those in need but providing  situations that happen and showing events that may have to people in real life from being abused in their own home to being bullied at a park and suffering in silence. Social groups that this applies to come in different forms you’ll never know who is going through it unless they show signs and you genuinely pay attention to them for a choice in location we used a park. It  refers  to  people  who  live  their  daily  lives  and  the  park  is  a  popular  place  that  many  people  choose  to g o  to,  so  we  chose  this  place and in  selecting  the  park it provided   us  with  numerous setting choices  in...

Finally our music video is done! After all the planning, filming and editing we're finally finished with our 1-800-273-8255 music video. It was such a fun learning experience doing this project. The effort and dilligence my team put in has been outstanding. I really appreciate them and I couldn't have done this entire project without them. There is a lot we can take from working on this project.  We adapted to each others way of doing things and even managed to learn new things from each other such as tricks in acting, filming, and editing. Also, we believe that when it comes to teamwork, we have improved and are able to harmonize our skills to reach a goal. The whole goal was to make sure that our message was received and that people realize that bullying is a major cause in suicide. People go through things at home and hide the pain away with a smile and no one ever knows until it’s too late. My team and I have brought more awareness to these traumatic issues and have given a...

 After filming was done since Rohanna was the designated editor we helped her in understand the scenes order but aside from that once I gave her my SD card with all the takes on it. She took the clips from the camera after putting the SD card into her laptop and uploaded them into an app called IMovie. She then took the time to reorganize the right clips in order of the actual takes from the extras with the mistakes aka the bloopers in them. Some scenes wee filmed before the rest which means everything was out of order so we had to do constant retakes of certain parts of a scene.  For example,  the bullying one and the walk to the river and sidewalk. Those needed to be re-filmed, because we had to adjust the scenery and switch what side we filmed on so it showed that it was actually a run in and not us walking down the same sidewalk at the same time. That would defeat to purpose of the message we were trying to aspire. She had to convert the music file and align the song ...

 So in the process of filming we had to adjust the camera a few time because we had problems with the focusing on the takes it took time to get it right. I eventually ended up switching the lenses so we could film properly. Different ideas on how to get our message into the film started to come into mind so I searched around the park an found different things and when things started to come together we had little inconviencs such as when we filmed the hugging scene we were both coming from the same direction at first so I helped alter the scene so we were coming from different ends at different times to show that we crossed paths at the right moment.  I learned the 360 moved from Idline. while getting some great editing tools and skills to use later on from Rohanna while improving on acting with Nishayla as the main characters in the film. Learning to agree and work on things together as a team while coming to an agreement on things to create the best production was a key tool...
