Re-Editing Blog

 Hey bloggers hope your have a marvelous day! Today I am going to the library again to edit my video again. The process starts all over again. The cutting of the videos. The music editing and the transitions of the video. This made the process of editing much more longer making it hours. Around 2-3 hours in the computer room and with the program. Moving on the videos were long so there was a lot of cutting involved. Most of the music was already there but I still edited it a little. In the beginning of the video I missed to include the title design and the name of the film. But I choose the perfect spot to put it in. But now that I looked at the title design I didn't like it as much. So I highly believe that I am going to do another design and I'll have another debate with my group. But for now I just kept it because I didn't have enough time. After adding the title design, I started to include titles of everyone in the group. I looked at my research again to see if it was

  Hey bloggers, I am back but not with the reviews yet. I changed my mind and decided to edit my video again. One of my teammates made a new ending which made the whole team come back an see if we like it. Which I did, I thought it was amazing. It had the perfect cliff hanger to it. Yes the team and I needed to edit it a little  but it was the best option to the video.  It was a driving scene, in which my teammate was driving while his mom was filming him. He drove slow but in the video we increased the speed by like 5 making it seem as if he was driving super fast. After cutting and adding noise to this last scene, we watched the video again. We each took notes on the video. I noticed that the monster could have a better noise affect and the scream of the victim could have been louder. To increase the horror of the film. I also thought we could add some audio to the car scene so it won't look weird. So I suggested a 911 call or a call of help so it can seem more intense. After twe

MUSIC/SOUND EFFECTS!!!!!!

  Hey Bloggers, Hope your having a marvelous day. God I need to find another catchy phrase. I swear I would find one later but for now I want to talk about the process of my film. Since tomorrow I am going to edit with my team. I need to find the perfect music. Yes my team and I have a list of songs but we just found out that some of them are not royalty free music. So our main quest right now was to find this free music. Since I am in bed and have all my work done is the perfect time to search and go over that list of music. First platform we used was Spotify and I searched up royalty free horror music. So that the spooky music can show up. So when these song popped up I put some into a playlist. Next platform we used was a website on google. On this website we found the noise affects and the screams. Even though Andrea did her scream on a memo. Last platform we used was YouTube but we didn't find any song we like. Since I was director and co writer I would know where to put the m

BIG ISSUE/EDITING PART TWO!!!!!!!

  Hey Bloggers, Hope your having wonderful day. In today's blog I am going to talk about the biggest issue I had in today's film. It stressed me out so much. Since this film has to be two minutes, it is obviously going to be a large file. I knew this but so did my team. We though we were prepared when we put it into the system but then adobe said failed making me researching how to upload. This was very important because this was my main system of editing the video. It was the best platform to do it. Also adding in that the library gave to us for free which was another bonus. But eventually it worked but then another issue cam along. Which was how to share it between everyone making it hard to finish our work faster. I watched like 5 YouTube videos on how to share. My teammates also watched tones of videos. But eventually we gave up and just downloaded it to each computer because that feature wasn't in our version of adobe. At the end everyone did there own work and I start

Re-Shot Blog

  Hey Bloggers h ope you guys are great! Today I am going to talk about how I needed to shoot again. Me and my team needed to re-shoot due to the lack of time in our video. It took days to plan on when to go to park and the plan to get there. I came up again with different scenes we could include again. I made sure that my partners have everything ready like the blood, costume, the mask and some props. I made sure that my camera was charged and my flash light as well. I charged my phone as well just in case I needed to film or as a prop. When I got there I explained to everyone what to do and discussed if they liked the scenes that I wanted to include. They all agreed so we started filming again. I walked the park with them and gave them directions on where to stand and what to do. I also re shoot some of the blurry scenes and the establishment of the location. So it can bring in more seconds to the video. I also focused on establishing the monster. Since it horror I want the audience

   Hi bloggers, Today I went to the library to edit the video and to see if we have enough time for the project. I first had to get a plan to see how me and the team would get there. In the end I found a way and sent in the group chat where and how to get there after school. I took the public bus and we went to Fort Lauderdale Library. I choose the place due to how it is free to use there devices, and the library had a teen place only for kids our age. The devices that the library has is the computers, a green screen and more. In the computer I used the program called Adobe. It’s a program in which specializes in editing and used by many other professionals. This program helped me a lot but before I needed learn about it first. I learned from my friend and the internet but once I got the hang of it we finished faster. Once I started, I combined the videos. I cut the seconds or the scene the video didn’t. I also added in some transitions to it as well. The last thing was to include the

Filming Day Blog

  Hi Bloggers, I am finally back! Today I am going to explain the first day of filming for this amazing project. Since I was the director I needed to get there first. To see what place looks best for each scene. I honestly love the place that me and my group choose at the end. The park gave that sense of horror and since the day light saving the sun went out early. Allowing video seem as if it was filmed in the dark but honestly was filmed around 5-6pm. The trees also seemed as if the video was taken in a camping site. Due to how tall they were. Now when starting filming it took me a second because I had to tell my team mates how to do each scene and what to say exactly but in the end it didn't take as long. Once I started filming I got more used to what types of angles was used for each scene and how to manipulate the phone. The scenes more difficult to film were the running scenes. Since the genre was horror and their was a killer the other characters needed to run. So with me be

  Hey bloggers hope your having a wonderful day! Today I am going to be talking about the research of place of where I am filming and the items that I will be needing. First I looked at my planning blog and made list of my items that I needed to buy. I couldn't buy it all by myself so gave some roles to my teammates so they can buy it or create it. The next thing I did was to find a park that was close to everyone and that fit the role for this film. I first choose like 3 or 4 parks. But after researching it I remembered this one perfect park that my sister used to go. I remembered it had these huge pine trees and it was hike park. It fit perfectly again, now the only thing was convincing people. So once it was decided the hardest part was how to get there. Some of my team mates took the bus while the other car pooled. I just needed to convince my parent which was hard since I have a baby sis and she needs a lot of attention. But in the end my parents made the plan and said yes to
