Cameraman: Being the cameraman was the most fun I had in this project. I got a crash course in camera techniques minutes before we actually started shooting. I was relieved to find out that shooting came naturally to me and that it wasn't too hard, however, I did have to have some help from Doug to figure out the different cameras I used and how each one can benefit my project. The camera techniques I learned were: 'B-Roll', dollying, trucking, etc. I found that the techniques I used the most were: dollying, trucking and 'B-Roll'. I'm not entirely sure if this was out of personal preference or just because the environment I was in sort of dictated my actions as a cameraman.

However, I am starting to become the editor again after such a long time to sort of help speed up the process in time for the deadline.

Doug and Nikki both helped me make the script of which I am extremely grateful. I don't think I would have been able to write all of it out. I was having such a writers block it was ridiculous. After finally finishing the short script, Doug directed me to that little recording room past the microwave behind the round room. He showed me what I had to turn on and what buttons to press to make sure I was actually recording and how I could get it off of the computer. The recording was easily done after a few
