The responsibility of editing the footage falls to my partner, who will be handling that aspect of the post-production process.

 Hi! Welcome back to my blog! In case you forgot, it’s Jenna. Today I’m talking about the trying process of finding props. My partner and I have really struggled with this. We’ve been really overwhelmed recently. As juniors, we have the SAT coming up. This has caused so much additional stress. We’ve started planning props. I plan to take two white sugar packets from the food court at the mall. For the arsenic, we’ve planned something similar. We plan to use sugar as well for the arsenic. However, this time we plan to put it into a blender. This will created powdered sugar. We will then put this in a jar, which we will label arsenic. Hopefully it makes a passing resemblance. We optimistic it will. Thanks so much for reading! Have a wonderful day!
