production blog: new ideas

Image
  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.

production blog- editing

Welcome back to the blog! I immerse myself in the uncut film as an editor, eager to shape it into an engaging story. Through editing, I have the responsibility to unleash the possibilities that each frame has. I carefully examine each shot, taking into account how it will affect the narrative as a whole and its emotional resonance. Putting scenes together like a puzzle and seeing the story come to life in front of my eyes gives me a special excitement. Every choice I make affects the tempo and ambiance of the movie, from when to cut to where to put sound effects. There are moments when the rhythm of the editing sweeps me up in the movement of the pictures and the music. Finding the right balance requires skill. For optimum impact, cut extraneous material and know when to let a scene breathe. I work in tandem with the director and other post-production team members to bring their vision to life while incorporating my own artistic flair. Naturally, there are times when scenes don't t

production blog- How filming went

  Hello there again! It is me! I am so happy I can finally talk about my filming process with everyone, it really has been an awesome journey. This final task has been so much fun to do and I enjoyed it so much, in my opinion. I really liked the filming process of this task. So in this blog, I will talk about some things I really liked doing as the designated camera person. I will say that I was not the best filmer in the world. But I do think all of the shots came out pretty well at the end. I would film everything with my Phone and then send them in a group chat. Then everyone would have the clips and everyone could split the editing work evenly. Solving the issue of what was I going to use in the film the movie. I want to talk about how my experience during the filming and what I liked about it. I really enjoyed how after checking off all the angles needed for the movie itself I was able to use my own free creativity. I  got to use any type of angle I liked to make the movie look be

production blog- filming in the park

Hey blog! My group and I just got home from filming at the park. We went to holiday park after school. With us was our two main characters and then the people in my group. We were playing soccer and just having fun. It was very hard to get everything exactly how we wanted. Not everyone was cooperating. We had fun though an got that filming part out of the way. Now Alyssa and have been editing together. We have been talking this over for a long time. Making sure we agree on which parts to keep and which to delete. Also checking to see that we filmed all the part we need and didn't miss anything. If we did it is ok because holiday park is an easy place for everyone to meet up. The park part of this film is so cute. I cant wait for you guys to see it. We have been working very hard. Next we have to go to the beach. That will be so fun. The filming doesn't even seem like work because we are with friends. And it is good that our group gets along so well. That is all I have for you g

production blog- starting the film

   Hey blog! Its been a while! today I will be talking about the filming of our video. Lets get started! So far we've filmed a few scenes. These scenes involve the two main characters hanging out together. In these scenes they are talking, walking around, and playing soccer. These shots are in the mid to ending of the video. We've also filmed another part of the two main characters. This part includes them eating at a restaurant and walking around doing shopping. Later this week we are planning on filming again. This filming will be done during the weekend. The scenes that are being filmed are going to be them first meeting and one of the main characters finding the note the other main character left her. Instead of editing as we go along the group has decided that we will be editing all of our clips once we finish filming them. We find this will be more effective. We also feel it will be easier to add in the music of our liking. That's all the update on filming right now!
