Completed!

After the audio was put in I also put in the logo whenever it was mentioned and the credits. The order of the video went like this: first was the monolog by Cathy followed by dancing! Then came the interview with Katniss followed by the Hunger Games trailer. Then featuring the letter from Aphra Behn with a gift from Cathy and FM. After that was the segment of instagrammies featuring Edna and all her affairs. To wrap it up all the characters joined Cathy in the car for some Carpool Karaoke. At last the final scene was Cathy thanking everyone for coming followed by more dancing! Overall t looked pretty good I like the video all the songs I used in the video are also present in the Feminist Spotify playlist:

 I created the playlist with songs about boss women or preformed by boss women and I hope to add more songs to it later! Summer made tickets to give to the class when they walk into the classroom for the live Cathy show! And after our presentation we will wear the shirts we created!! I'm so excited we present Thursday. All the information is also on a poster created by Mackenzie which is posted in Mr. Bowers classroom!!!

Editing

I have finally finished editing the video!!! It was the biggest pain ever!!! So at first I had to get a new editing software because movie maker was unable to do things I needed to my video... So I researched different video editing softwares and most of them have free trials before you buy them because they are expensive. I found one called Power Director that seemed like it had the tools to complete my project. I started he free trial and began uploading videos.. The only problem was that I have never seen this software before so I first had to learn how to use it! Then came a ton of trial and error and more research. Once I got the hang of it I add all my clips and put them in order and trimmed all of them. The tough parts was when I added the music... It was very hard to synchronize the music to our lips moving and lip syncing to the songs. Power director has a feature where you can spread he timeline out very late to see milliseconds which ended up helping me begin the music at the right time and line it up at the correct spots. 

FM

We decided on a logo for the company sponsoring the Cathy show. It's called FM. We are not putting a specific name for FM because it could mean female male or it could mean feminist movement it could mean whatever you believe! The truth is we couldn't choose which one we liked better so you can be the judge of that! The FM is in the middle of the circle in the combined female and male signs. Mackenzie drew this on a paper and sent it to me so when I edit the video I can flash the logo on the screen whenever it is mentioned on film. I came up with the motto for FM " You have seen equalities in math but how about society? " I was doing math while I came up with this... But I think it has a bigger meaning since it is easy to find equalities in simple equations but why is it not seen throughout the world? Feminism is not about being better than males it is about being equal and receiving the same opportunities as males. 

Carpool Karaoke

When we finished filming the last scene we decided that our video needed a fun way to end. We thought of the segment carpool karaoke and decided to incorporate that into our show. There will be a main son for each character even though some songs chosen could be used for all three books. Edna's song was before he cheats since she cheated a lot and did what made her happy. Aphra Behn sang wild things and Katniss sang fight song. I think fight song was a good way to end because all the female leads in these books were strong and inspiring. This segment was filmed in Summer's car and I played the song in my phone and we just sang the songs hopefully this won't be a pain to edit later when we need to match up the song and the lyrics later... 

Instagrammies

For the last book the Awakening Edna Pointellier will be called from the audience to meet Cathy on stage for a segment called instagrammies. Cathy looks through her audiences Instagram and chooses the craziest ones to show on live television. Edna is chosen because throughout the book she cheats on her husband and has affairs. This catches Cathy's eye and every post on Edna's Instagram is explained and hopefully the class is interested in this segment and feels the need to read the book. After all that is what this whole project is about. We are not supposed to show how well we know the book we are supposed to get our classmates and other people interested in our books. We want our class to go through the same experiences we did when reading through the feminist pathway. 

Aphra Behn

I have finally finished both books the Hunger Games and The Awakening. I have started Oronooko but I am running out of time I am still going to read it but for the ending and overall concepts I have not read yet summer will help fill me in for these parts of the project. For this book we will have the author cast as a viewer Aphra Behn. She will write a letter to Cathy asking for help. The letter is about how Aphra is a writer and she only gets paid a few cents. She tells her story and Cathy is touched by this. Cathy and FM our logo company sponsoring the Cathy show offers to pay all the publishing costs for Aphra. In this way we already have two of the books done and filmed one to go!

Filming

We decided to call our show Cathy. We filmed Cathy interviewing Katniss Everdeen. Cathy asked her questions like " why should we read the book rather than watch the movie" and "what is your role in the movie" so Katniss answers that in the book you feel as though you are in Katniss' head and experiences the games whereas in the movie you seem to feel like an outsider watching what's going on in the games you don't know what Katniss is truly thinking. In the movie Katniss is portrayed as a strong independent woman who if caring to those she loves and will do the toughest things in order to survive and return home. We filmed some action shots outside Summers house to make a short trailer for the movie as well. I imaging when complete the trailer will have a word flash on the screen such as "beauty" and then it cuts to the film of Katniss smelling a flower. Stuff like that will be incorporated into the trailer for it is not the main focus... The main focus is the interview.
