Production Blog: We finally filmed!

 So, I have good news. The group and I finally got to film. We went to the beach and took the time to record all the footage we needed. We do have some additional takes we won't need. Overall, the filming session went well. The sunset wasn't exactly what we wanted but the weather conditions were good nonetheless. I am so proud of the team for coming and putting this together. I was impressed with the acting skills. I dealt with props and directing. We plan to discuss today how we want to edit. Along with choosing which platform we want to use to edit. Honestly, I think we want little to no transitions and some cool music in the background. Lastly, we need to find a logo that is just the words without a background color. Usually I just search up "png". This abbreviation just allows the photos without a background to pop up. I'll have to use trial and error until I find the right one. I don't think it will be to difficult to figure out. Also, Sean finally agreed to help me learn to edit. Later today he'll show me some basic shortcuts. I hope it won't be to hard. I am so excited to edit and see the final product.

 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...

This is us!

  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...
