keep on editing

Image
My last day of group editing was today. Because we had spent the prior day organizing the edits, my group felt confident going into this. Priorities come first. Ely received tasks from my group. She would insert the split screen, my group determined. She would then start the music. Finally, Ely would modify footage in accordance with the music. Trevor would then finish the frozen screen. She didn't have enough time in the last lesson to learn the freeze screen. She therefore acquired it by taking this class. My turn came next. My colleagues and I agreed that I would take care of the final inspection and add finishing touches. While I was helping everyone with their allotted chores, I also offered advice. Then, my crew enlisted other reviewers to go through our work. My group heard several viewpoints. both positive and negative. However, the new version solved a lot of the issues and challenges that we had. Following this, my group learnt a lot. the right and wrong things to do. and...

Started editing

So we wrapped up the filming. All that's left to do now is edit. I began by trimming our clips to the appropriate length. I followed the advise of the individual who had a viewpoint. The brightness was corrected. I changed the angles. I had trouble getting the hang of using iMovie at first. I thus explored several editing programs. I ultimately preferred iMovie and decided to stick with my previous choice. I struggled to choose the right music. I also didn't want to use copyright music. I struggled for two hours to come up with some tense background music. My group was watching our clips as I was editing. I was aware that my group wouldn't complete editing today.A ton of editing tutorial videos were viewed by my group. Developing a stronger bond with my group has been my favorite aspect of this endeavor thus far. They are all juniors, although I am a sophomore, so at first I was afraid, but they were extremely polite to me. I'm pleased my group and I grew closer since i...

Film review!

                                                                                    My team completed. That took a lot of effort, but it was well worth it. It was wonderful to work with my group. Working together was never really an issue for us. For a future project, I would without a doubt team up with them once more. To guarantee that we fulfilled deadlines on time, we had to make sure we have communication throughout this project. Due to our hectic schedules, we had a few challenges to overcome, but we did so as a team. I reconnected with my group to discuss and rewatch our movie.My group was quite anxious about having a peer assess our work. We were aware that certain adjustments were needed. But, we first had someone examine our projec...

finished filming today!!

                                                           As usual, my group got going today. My group then realized that we were filming today. I was set to film with my group and we had a lot on our minds. Today's ability for everyone to film was a terrific beginning. With ely and I in the roles, we started filming. then collaborated with Trevor on a few movies. We didn't like the angle of the first photo. We moved on to our next scene after Ayden tried a few different angles but couldn't seem to come up with the right one. The scene with Ayden's mother was filmed by my group. The footage wasn't what we wanted when we watched it again. So, we adjusted the illumination. We enjoyed it more after seeing it again. Just in case we missed the first time, my crew retook the photo. This was a really productive day ...

Great day filming!

  We started filming on Saturday. My group was finally all together and we had 3 hours to film in holiday park. We started with most of Trevors scenes. Trevor needed a little practice with acting because we literally couldn't film more than one scene an hour. But today was pretty productive. Before we even started filming today, Ayden went out of his way to get more props. We wanted to film with a nicer camera but we were unable to get a camera in time. I feel as though we really bonded today with filming. We went out to get lunch after. We had to split up right after though because Ayden and I had work. When my squad came together, we had three hours to film in Holiday Park. We began with the majority of Trevor's scenes. We could hardly film more than one scene every hour, so Trevor needed some acting practice. But, today was rather fruitful. Ayden went above and above to collect extra props before we even began filming today. We wanted to use a better camera, but we couldn...

filming again...

  We started filming the second scene over the weekend. It was hard to get my group all together at one time. Many times I had work. Trevor was out of town for a few days. While ely was free. Ayden was with his family. Other times we wanted to film when I had work and I couldn’t. Trevor and ely filmed some the parts without me. Although they didn’t finish all of them they still accomplished a lot. I then brainstormed about how I would accomplish editing the film. My ideas were pretty good in my head. My whole group is going to probably finish filming half of the film by the end of the week. Our goals haven’t always come out how we want them. But that is what makes us a team and closer together. We knew that we weren’t going to accomplish a lot due to spring break. So, we planned ahead. We scheduled out how we could finish before the deadline. This included the editing and maybe some days that we thought we could film but ended up not being able to. We then gathered all of our props...

Finally started to film

 Today was the first day we got started on filming. I had work all week so I had to plan on the days I didn't work. Ayden also had work so we all colabetrted on when we should schedule off for work. Today we worked on one scene. This was the scene where trevor was getting interviewed. This took a total of two hours because we kept messing up. We had to change a few angles and the lighting for this scene. I hope we don't mess up this many times when we are filming other scenes. We filmed this at elys house and made sure it looked like an interview. We set up Trevors costume by spraying a little water on him looking like he was sweating. We tried to get a microphone but we didn't have time to get one. By the time we finished filming it was late at night. We were tired from filming so we took a little break planning out next scene. We aren't planning on filming all the scenes in order. We planned our next time we are gonna film. This date will be on a weekend because we do...
