Production blog: Didn't get to film

 Unfortunately we didn't get to film. With homework and my debate tournament I didn't have the time to film with the group. We are planning to film later today and this upcoming weekend. We are planning to film at the beach so the weather must be sufficient. Also, we would like to record during the sunset so hopefully the sky isn't gray and gloomy. I am happy we didn't film this weekend since it was so stressful. I went to a national tournament called," Nova Titan". It kicks off the debate season on the east coast. I got some meaning full feedback. I plan to use this feedback when filming. Though they seem different both are based on my delivery and acting. Both film and debate weirdly go well together. Many different events in debate require some knowledge of film studies. I find that in media studies we learn lots of valuable information that I could also incorporate into debate. Specifically, my leadership skills. When learning to direct you encounter uncomfortable situations but you face them and learn from them. Similarly in debate you must take command of the room your in. This shows confidence and knowledge. I am happy I could find similarities and focus in on my craft. Both give me meaningful learning experiences.

 Hi everyone! I finally finished editing my movie. I am thrilled with how it came out. I am in love with the title designs. It was kind of difficult to download the footage. That process alone took me half an hour. Then having to upload the media into cap cut to edit was also extremely annoying. I had to do each clip one by one. After came the cutting. I had to snip and edit each of the clips to get the video down to two minutes. Sean sent me the song selection we had gone with. It was called 'Logical Song' by the Supertramps. It was a pop song from the '80s. I was surprised by how well the song fits our film. I used a YouTube to MP3 converter to download the audio file. I added it to the track. Lastly came the title designs. I found a template and played around with the settings until it was just right.  Just to make sure everything came out well I needed it to be reviewed by one of my peers. And who better to do it than my best friend Marvin. His Notes: - Overall, it was ...

Trying to plan

  Planning a day to meet up with friends for a movie filming session sounded like a blast, but little did I know it would turn into a logistical puzzle. As we excitedly discussed our project, everyone seemed eager to dive in and bring our vision to life. However, as the days passed and we attempted to nail down a date, it became apparent that everyone's schedules were jam-packed. Between work commitments, family obligations, and personal errands, finding a common free day seemed nearly impossible. We started off optimistically, tossing around a few potential dates, but each suggestion was met with a chorus of conflicting schedules and prior engagements. It felt like we were playing a never-ending game of calendar Tetris. Even our best efforts to compromise and shuffle things around fell short, as it seemed that every time one person was available, another had to bow out due to unforeseen circumstances. The frustration mounted as we realized that our dream of a fun-filled filming da...

  I should be the first to introduce the group. In addition to being a musician, I have some editing experience. I'm hoping that what little photography knowledge I have will help me in this course because both my sister and best friend are talented photographers. In middle school, I did attend theatre for three years and took part in numerous minor performances. I'll probably be one of the key subjects for the duration of this learning process. In addition to myself, there are 3 other people in my group. Markel is first in line. He and I first met in AICE Media this year. He has a brilliant imagination and is a great artist. Markel is the only person in the group who knows how to produce music and record music. Sean comes in second. He is a very talkative person who doesn't hesitate to engage in conversation with everyone. Sean not only serves as our spokesperson but also possesses unrivaled editing abilities. Sean is an expert in technology. This will come in handy for ou...
