This was my final week of filming. After facing the scheduling issue with friends that could help me out, I decided to ask my mom for some help. After explaining what the project was for, she was eager to assist me in any way possible, so I asked her to be my cameraman. We used my iPhone 6 for the camera and, after being unable to find a tripod in the garage, used a stepladder for stability. We shot about 20 different clips of similar scenes from different angles.

The two fonts clashed and made for a distracting final scene, so I chose to make all of the typing black chalkboard. While these may seem to be minor changes, I feel as if these small differences were able to make my movie a much more cohesive piece.
