        This short film was a very fun project to film. A lot was learned through filming and editing this film. There are many aspects I can appeal to that occur in the real world that are seen in our film. The representation of two detectives looking into the case of a mass serial murderer in the short film captures broader social concerns of deceit, trust, and the complexity of human nature.

 Today is the day we will finish filming. We will also finish the editing on our film. Today is the big day we put our creation into one. It’s a very exciting day for all four of us. But we need to start soon as it was 1 PM and I was still in bed. I hopped out of bed and drove to pick up Zeyn. We all met at Zane’s house and had lunch. We had Chipotle to make sure we are ready for the long day. This was very needed as we were all hungry. After we put all of our trash away and got to work. We started with filming in the neighborhood. We were able to get a ton of shots in the Forrest of his neighborhood. This was perfect as we needed that environment for our film. Once we finished up getting those shots we captured a few more final shots. We headed back to Zane’s house and sat down to edit. We got to editing on his computer in his room and it lasted 4-5 hours. We were very happy with the result and it was a very fun process. Now that our film is finally done we are very satisfied. Overall

 Today we all collectively decided that we needed to all catch up on work. SAT is on Wednesday and we all feel that is best to prioritize that. So we did, we all stayed home and practiced for the SAT. I stayed inside all day and practiced in Khan Academy. Zeyn did the exact same thing I did. However Zane went to his practice for baseball and football. He did not have much time to study. Elena was able to use her time wisely and studied aswell. We all decided a day to film the last part of our film. We figured a day out and was set on it. We would use this day to finish the second part of filming. We will also used this day to edit the entire film. This will be very good as we have the entire day. We will be at Zane’s house the entire day. We will edit and film in his neighborhood and house. This is perfect as we are all together to edit the film. We would all be able to collectively cooperate and add our own critiques to it. The editing app we will use is Final Cut Pro.  Even with a da
