     In today's class we discussed our group members for the opening sequence of our video. In my group I have Joshua Mateo, Kristian Bowers, and John Roell.

Joshua is acting as well as doing camera work. For John he is acting. As for me I am doing the voiceover of the video as well as camerawork.

We will be using a lot of technical elements, including lighting, angles, shots, costumes, sounds, editing, and movements.
