Final task: Peer improvements

 After receiving beneficial critiques from peers we decided we needed to make a few changes. First starting off with the things we originally wanted to fix. This was to make longer scenes and have fewer cuts. Since none of us are professional actors, we struggle keeping it together. We burst out laughing and ruin the scene. We took this project super serious so we kept straight faces and made fewer cuts. This process seems way easier said than done, and it is. To film
most of our scenes took a very long time. After refilling another negative critique was us occasionally glancing at the camera. Luckily for us, when refilling the longer scenes we fixed this problem as well. This process was extremely trying and took us close to the whole day. The worst part about refilling our scenes was the fact that we had to reedit. The reediting took a long time as well. We had to add all the effects we had before, as well as keeping it at exactly 2 minutes. Before cutting extra parts of scenes, we had close to 20 extra seconds. We agreed as a group of the parts that would be cut. It was hard seeing your hard work being through away so fast. Fortunately, we got every scene how we wanted and created a great film.

1. After a career threatening injury, the former athletics superstar battles his emotions. 2. A man finds something mysterious in the woods, what it is may haunt him forever. 3. She doesn't like her moms new boyfriend, but what she doesn't know is much more horrifying then she can anticipate. We decidied to go with the first option. My group and I all admire athletes and have heard many terrible stories. We want to portray and show the true struggle with substance abuse. Showing that it is not an easy battle  but it is winnable. I believe we can make a great 5 minute film out of this.

CR:Final Film

The short film "One Last Drive" tells the story of a high school football player named Trevor (RJ) who suffers a devastating injury during training.
