Production Blog: First Impressions

 This will start off my first filming and editing blog for my final task. I have not started to film or edit yet. My filming crew (aka my parents) have not had time to help me yet with any of the big filming. There were a few beginning scenes that I was thinking of filming today. But this whole week I've had football practice. By the time I get home from practice it is already to dark to film. I'm planning to commence my filming by this weekend and get a small beginning portion done. I have a few good ideas that I need to try out for the background of the title scenes. This idea requires some parental supervision though. My idea is to get a few High Angle shots from my roof. Ill climb up there when the sun is low and get a few nice shots from up there. These will be good for the background because they will show off a little bit of the setting. As well as being some nice aesthetic scenes that will be very nice as a background. Of course as I stated I will need my dad to come with me when he has time to help me out. He would help me with the latter up to the roof. As well as bringing up the camera without dropping it. I will shoot a few different ones so I can have them fade in and out slowly. I wish I had access to some better quality cameras but I don't. Ill just have to settle with my phones quality. I hope these scenes will come out like I'm expecting, if they do they're going to look really nice.

 Hi, my name is Oscar Koenig, I am 15 years old and live in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I live the life of a pretty average teenage boy. I play football for our school, play video games and hang out with my friends. Id like to see myself as a bit of a thrill seeker though. I enjoy things like cliff jumping, rope swings, sending backflips off of 45 foot trees, that sort of stuff. Also lets not forget all the sports, I have played at least 10 different sports growing up as a kid. Football, soccer, tennis, baseball, and a bunch more. Those  are what make me who I am today. Today is actually my firsts football practice of the season. The last time I played was February. I hope I remember all my plays, because I am a wide receiver. And there are a lot of plays and formations we need to know by heart. What also makes it harder is that our coach has to make signs so the other players don't know the play too. So we also have to memorize the signs as well. Its actually later now and I fin...
