Here is the final product and hope you enjoy. It was both stressful and fun doing this project and I had to get creative with a lot of my shot setups since I was the main actor in it. Overall it was a good learning experience and taught me valuable things to bring with me if I go on to create or edit my own short films, or even just organizing and shot framing in general.

Audio and Shortening the Length

 This is what the finished background music I had in mind looks like in the editor. It is extremely simple but it took me two hours to make learning all the techniques I can use. I think I did a decent job at obtaining what I wanted and thought it would be way more difficult than it was. This sfx lasts from until the credits to when Ricky makes it to his friend's house. 

When sequencing the film I was running into problems with time constraints since if I were to add the whole original plot it would exceed over 2 minutes and 40 seconds, so what I did was cut it short to when Ricky's friend opens the door and asks why he's there so late. I think fading to black her still adds the same effect as my original ending planned to as it shows the toll Ricky took throught that journey. Here's what the WeVideo editor looks right now:

Sequencing and Editing

 Now that I have all my shots and reshoots in place, I've been sequencing all my shots to fit and trimming out any extra takes / messups, making it all go smoothly. 

To make life easier, I've been numbering my video files by the order they're supposed to be in so I can just go to a specific clip that need work and then I can piece them together. You may have noticed I've switched to WeVideo and that's because I overestimated how much I knew about it so I just switched to WeVideo since it's easier and has all the things I want to do anyway.

Here's the openening credit sequence done and how I envisioned it, where Ricky walks off then then camera pans up into the sky and starts the sequence. At this point the music kicks in as well. I still have to touch of on the audio and make my transitions smooth as possible
