  This is our two minute opening to a movie for the Final Task. (No relation to any real world mishaps)

   After reviewing the footage, we decided on some changes that had to me made to improve our film. One of those was the main title screen. This is shown to be a message written into the dirt. What it says is "Crackhead Killer" which is the title of the movie. The first take we did of the film we notice the letters aren't as pronounced as we would've wanted. Due to the time constraints our team had, we had to get someone to come back and redo it. Myles is the one who recommended we use the Hampton Pines Park as our film set. He did not research too far into the closing time of this location. To be fair, neither did any of the other group members including myself. Myles lives in close proximity to this park, it's only a ten-minute walk from his house. The next day, Myles returned to the park to fix up that scene. He pronounced the letters better so that they would be legible. Overall, it was a success, and we replaced the old footage with the new one. It is a good

 Going over the film being put together, I noticed several things. This was a product of the cast not being able to perform several tasks due to our own issues and outside issues. For instance, we had to think of a creative way to make the title of the film, so we carved into the dirt. The carvings did not pop out enough the first time. As a result, we had one of our team members return to the location and carve another title, this time deeper and more pronounced. It ended up working, but it could’ve been better if we filmed at another location. Two other problems became apparent when filming at this site. It had a closing time, which I did not know it had. Which meant our time on set was very limited, especially since there was school the next day for us. Only two minutes of footage was needed, which was very good for us considering we were kicked out after we finished up. The sun was still out too, which subtracted from the scariness of the film. Another thing was that due to a lack
