     Today I have done even more. I have finished the first trailer for the film and I think its pretty great. When editing I realized that my narration didn't sound very good because I was going for a British accent but it sounded like a weird mix of Scottish, British, American and Australian. So I went on to google and typed in ROBOT VOICE. Now the narrator is a Steven Hawking style robot. I did this stylistically because I thought it would be funny if the narrator was a monotone robot who said things that sounded angry but its voice didn't express that. Also I want the first trailer to leave questions with viewers so the look into the movie more, and I think that the robot voice will add to those questions. 
     I am very close to finishing the poster. I just need to take one more picture for the center of it. I also started the film website and I think that its going pretty good, at least I think it looks good. I looked at websites for Guardians of the Galaxy and the Lego Batman movie and I think I know who to format my site.
    I have filmed some shots for the second trailer but time has gotten the better of me. So I am filming the rest of it on Monday or Tuesday, then editing it Tuesday and Wednesday, And that will be it.

     Today I have accomplished a lot. I am almost done with the movie poster, which looks like a pizza box (as I said last time). I just need to take one more picture for it. I think it looks really good so far.
     I also have started to edit my first trailer, the one with the hieroglyphics. I found a great royalty free instrumental song that works really well because it sounds like the background music of the part of a documentary that shows the world for the first time. All I have to do is input the voice over of the narrator.
     At the start of the weekend I wasn't feeling very confident about my product, but now I feel pretty good because of the work I did today.

So recently I have started the creation of the poster and filmed the parts of the first trailer where the writer is talking back to the narrator.
The poster is coming along pretty great! I have two designs that are close to completion I am just deciding on which one to use. The first one looks like a pizza box, with the name of the movie in place of the restaurant name. The second one is a picture of a table full of leftovers/ pizza boxes from a pizza party with the logo in the center of the picture.
The filming went okay. I just have to see how it will look when i put the voice over into it for the narrator.

Yesterday I started to record the voiceover for the narrator character in the first trailer and the beginning of the second. I am planning on recording more takes of the lines later today and also today I plan on filming the first trailer. This includes  the scenes where the character is arguing with the narrator while he works on the script.
I have planned out my filming schedule for the rest of the week too. Tomorrow I plan on finishing the movie poster for the film and the website, Thursday and Friday I will be filming the second trailer and this filming session may run over into Saturday. Saturday will be the overflow day where I work on everything that I couldn't finish on the day I planed for it This day is also for finishing the website. Sunday to whenever I finish will be my editing time, my experience with editing should help move it along faster but I know it will still take a long time. After I finish editing, which should take two days, I will be filming my CCR and editing that which should take only one day.
So if all goes to plan I should be completely finished by Tuesday next week, but since I know there will be problems I will predict Wednesday.☺

Today I looked at the script again and changed a few things. I changed the reason that the narrator is angry and most of the dialogue between the two characters. Now i have to create the last hieroglyph for the film,the unfinished one, and I want it to be depicting the Egyptians receiving pizza from aliens (it will make sense in context).
I have also started work on the poster for the film but I think that I need a better image for it so I am going to take a few more pictures to find the best one. And I have also decided that I am going to stick with the name Mile Marker 3.14 because we met in groups the other day and people thought that it was a good title and better than the other one I had come up with. And I drew what the title will look like. It is written as if it was written by hand with a marker.
