Writing an essay is always painful... Grammar, organization of paragraphs, and the content... My plan for this essay I am writing to be done was this friday, but from my progress right now, I think I am not going to be done until the next week. 

This week I am doing lots of movie editing with help from someone who is taking film making, what hard is the scheduling time for us to meet so she could help me. Else than this, I think my movie will be ready after this weekend!

So right now I am in the stage where I am doing my final checks on my film to see where I want to add something or take something out. And today I just realized that I should probably film some more interviews because I've got some new questions that I want to ask. I always have something to add in when I see the films that I filmed and I always have something to take out.. But I am starting to like it more and more. I like to film and maybe I will start to think about minor in filming later in college.

Another part I find is really bothering me is the dubbing part for the movie. I always have to rewrite the dubbing part of the film because I always think that I can come up with something better. 

In general, even though I am struggling a little with what I have right now, it is a good stuggle, the kind of struggle that makes the film better. 

I am now considering what I should do to practice more of my speaking skills because I don't feel like its enough. Today's weather was beautiful for shooting.I am now looking at the films I have and I think I might need to start deciding which to put in the film and what do I need more and what I should not put into the film. I haven't figured out how to end one of my story in the film, happy ending？ sad ending?

Hard to make decisions.

My biggest problem today is still the same with yesterday, I don't know what I want to put it to the film. There are lots of things I want to show in this short film, but after filming all these scenes, I am not sure whether what I have filmed are the right things to put it in. Struggling is good because it makes me think and it makes things better at the end, but the process of struggling is somehow very annoying... Ohhh and I watched Life Of Pi again yesterday! I have to say I respect Ang Lee more and more after knowing him from his biography and watching his films.. People say the hardest things to film are kids, animals and sea. In the movie Life of Pi, Ang Lee succeed to film all three hardest things at the same time. I have to say his efforts made Life Of Pi such a good movie!

So today I worked on writing my script for the movie, and the process is definitely harder than I thought.I write the script for one scene before shooting, and this is always the hardest part. I need to try to think from the perspective of an audience, for example, what the audience can see from my film and what I want the audience to see.It's always hard when I am trying to make decisions.

This is the movie I watched on Tuesday night, and here I just want to recommond to people to watch it!

So yesterday I filmed interviews with one student from Japan and one student from Thailand.It's interesting to hear their thoughts and feelings. It' definitely different from mine, but trying to get varying answers is what I hoped, so it's all good.But I got one same ask for a questions I asked. My question was: "Which part of you has changed the most after coming to America?" Both of them answered:"They've changed from a super talktive and outgoing person to a super quiet and shy person due to their diffidence." I wonder what makes them lack confidence of themselves.

Tomorrow will be a shooting day and going to start write another paper about my own story!

Just want to share with you guys how I decided to remind myself to not forget to blog.
