production blog: filming journey

Image
 Hi everyone! It gives me great pleasure to tell everyone about the amazing journey we took during the filming process. It's been a really fulfilling journey with lots of happy and exciting moments. I'm proud of the caliber of our shots even if I wasn't the best camera operator. We mostly filmed with our phones, so I helped everyone work together effectively by sending clips to our group chat to be edited and shared. Our workflow was greatly expedited by this approach, which also made sure that everyone had equal responsibility for editing. The ability to let my imagination run wild once all the important angles were covered was one feature that really caught my attention. Playing around with different camera angles and methods was thrilling and rewarding. The fact that I could easily retake shots made the filmmaking process run smoothly, even with my partners' occasional blunders. Our choice to record in a lively park and beach environment gave our footage a visually a

production blog: new ideas

  Hey Bloggers! Welcome back. We've got some progress to talk about. Sloane, Alyssa, Noah, Dalilah, and I made plans to go one day after school to the park and record for a little. Nothing much but just a couple shots for one of the date scenes we're doing. We went to the soccer fields at the park and got some clips of Noah and Dalilah playing soccer and just having fun. Noah and Dalilah are dating in real life which is why we chose them to be the couple for this project. Using other people, especially in our age group, could've been harder to film. Personally, when being filmed, I get shy and freeze up. Dalilah's on the more shy side so we didn't make it as noticeable when recording which came out more natural instead of forced or obvious that she's acting. Noah is very similar in that aspect. As they were just goofing around or playing soccer, we snuck around them and started recording. We went back to watch and got their little hugs and giggles. We recorded s

 A while back, Shadae, Alyssa, Sloane, and I set up a group chat to monitor our progress and stay in touch with each other. A few folks haven't responded to our mails or given us clear answers lately. We've distributed all of the schedules and dates in an effort to find a time that works well for everyone. People in our group ended up getting new employment at this time, or they had plans they hadn't told us about. They complained that they didn't have time to finish filming, which prompted us to make some significant adjustments. We were able to find a way around it, so we replaced those individuals. Our buddy Paige Elzea offered to step in for someone, but she needs to determine when she would be available, so there isn't yet a "yes" on that offer. Rene Salmeron Reyes and Charlize Moran have joined the group in place of Elton Angulo and Riley Scales. They explained to us how they would have time. They were gracious enough to cover the gaps even though th

production blog- how I will edit

Image
   Hey guys ! Welcome back to the blog! Today I will be focusing around the first few days of editing on this Final Task. Once I gathered all the footage from my group members. I put all the videos in one album. Once i get it all together I import the footage into our editing app. This is where I am going to be doing all of the title designing. Before I could do any titles I needed to make sure I had the first Rough edits done. So I will edit and fix all the footage to get a rough draft of the Final Task. This mostly included getting rid of bloopers and poor quality clips. As well as excluding any unneeded footage. Once this draft was complete I will to start learning how to do the Effects. I did not know how to do the editing that I would have liked to have. So I tried make sure I learned everything I would need to know about making these titles. It was very hard to focus on it. I had to watch boring YouTube video's on how to edit. But as soon as I figured it out, I started to do

production blog- changing the plans

 Hey guys, Welcome back to todays blog! So today I am going to be talking to you about something important. My group has decides to switch a few things up. We are adding a few new people to our blog. As well as taking a few people out. There will be a smaller group of us now. We also will be getting a person that can drive. Which will be nice so it is easier to get around. The people that we are will be using in our video also have this class. We also are deciding on switching the locations. I don't think we will be filming at the beach anymore. We will try but it is hard to get everyone to the beach. Now I think we will try and just be filming everything at holiday park. We are kind of behind on filming. My group cannot film this weekend which is annoying. But next week we are going to try and get a lot of it done. That's all for today guys. Thank you so much for joining back. Come back soon for an update. Talk to you guys in the next blog.
