With all the new adjustments and feedback from the professors as well as my Retailing teacher I should have enough information to complete our business proposal. Here's our cover letter picture:

Filming and production

This week during spring break we filmed and shot a scene of the video. It was about a hour of actually footage, we went to Ranson WV to a a friend of Owens to let us shoot the video in his house.  It was really exciting working at the set of this portion of the project we had three cameras a boom mic two lights and a living room for set. Owen and his friend got into their costumes and got into their Kryme Boiz roles. I was in charge of sound, I handled the boom mic following one of the cameramen around to get the best quaintly sound without get in the way of a shot. There was a lot of props in the set we had many different shirts, an old card collection tin box, and a picture of Larry Bid used in the video.  The filming went well, it was about 40 to hour of actual footage and just like the show American Pickers we had a single shot of the seller and his experience selling his merchandise. Overall it was fun and we got a lot of work done, can't wait to  film soon.

Production and Social media

In the past week I have been handling the social media aspect of the project, We had a friend Doug create a Twitter account for the character  is portraying for our Capstone video. I continued to connect with others who will follow back as well as viewing our message. I also became a admin for the Kryme Boiz Facebook page I realized that they had a great deal of people to follow which includes underground rappers. so we have increased our numbers by 10 followers on Twitter and a spike in likes our Facebook page. We wanted to created a social media aspect to this project for not only to market our project but it creates a almost real vibe to the Kryme Boiz. We post and tweet sayings that the characters would say to create the feel that these people are real. So far its been amazing to work on this project, the website still needs work but we moved on from Dreamweaver and used a program similar to word press, we already purchased a domain name for a year.
