 Hello welcome back to my blog. After researching other Genres I have decided to choose a genre that I felt like would best suit my film. At first I was choosing between a thriller and an action type of genre. But eventually I decided to go with the genre Action. At first I thought the thriller was better because it would seem like I could be able to work with that type of scenery but now I realize that incorporating a more action packed theme seems better with the idea of my film. So yes I have chose an Action theme and I will move on with that theme.

 Hello it is Gabriel Blandon and this is my group blog for my final project. After all these projects I will be discussing who I am working with today. Last project I worked with my friend Blake on the music video. But this time this is not the case. Even though I have a general idea of what I am doing, I still don't know whether I should partner up with one group or another. I have two options, I could work with Jake and his friend.

I feel like both skills have improved and I hopefully wish to prove that in these next couple of months. I have been weighing both pros and cons of this however. I know that Jake and his friend are less likely to help
