Mamma Mia "Here we go again!"

  Hello to whoever is reading this is still Ashleigh Miller, but I have some updates. I'm still 16, but I'll be turning 17 in 20 days, and my favorite color is still black. Most of my time is still taken up by the school. I'm currently Student Government Treasure genuinely enjoy it, though; I've been in SGA since middle school. There I was president and partook in many other clubs as well. I don't have much free time, but what I do have is spent on gardening, volunteering, self-care, and driving. I still have big future plans.

I want to go to a top school in Florida and get a master's degree in hospitality or zoology. From there, I know I want to work on a cruise for at least five years and see where that takes me. I am a Sagittarius, so I want to travel and learn about the world as much as possible. Places on my bucket list include Alaska, Niagra falls, and Australia. My family is from Italy, so that's also on my list. I still have family there too. However, my friends have made the most difference in my life. They made me happy even when that felt impossible. My pets keep me going every day too. When I get home late from work, my rottweiler waits up for me and greets me by letting me give him hugs. It's our special little thing. Alpacas have to be my favorite animal, though, because I frequently visited a small local zoo when I was little, and I was the only one she would let pet her. She even tried to bite my dad. My favorite season is Halloween; I love all things spooky. Every year I binge watch old scary movies and dress up; it's my most cherished tradition.


(This is my cat, by the way, her name is Kitty!)

Clips and Time Crunching

   Now that we’ve finished filming, it’s time to head to our tried-and-true editing app, CapCut. We’ve used this for every project, and I’d like to think we were successful. The first step is adding the clips into the software in order. Despite how simple this may seem, searching through all the videos is difficult. We have to make sure it’s the right clip and place it in the right spot regarding the order. Then it’s time to eliminate time. That’s the most heartbreaking part. You spend hours acting, getting lines, and making sure your costume is correct. Only to have to cut scenes because they take us over time.   When we put the original clips together, we had 7 minutes and 42 seconds. A lot of time is extra. We start filming slightly before and slightly after to make we catch everything. So that cuts down a good chunk of time. Then we must speed up certain clips for the movie, which eliminates a lot more time. Then, we start to determine which scenes are unnecessary a...
