  The film is finally finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. I feel a lot better now that things are finally completed. The completion of this cinematic endeavor makes me happier than ever! Making an opening sequence was a lot of fun for me even though the editing process was challenging and frustrating. I believe I am improving with time which is what is important. The initial planning, storyboarding, and actual filming were my favorite parts of the project. I knew what I needed to do and how to do it during the planning stage. These portions of the project appeared to come naturally to me in terms of creativity, which made it more fun. I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently throughout the entire process of developing this film. All of the work that needed to be done felt overwhelming at times, but my teammates supported and inspired me. I'm grateful to my incredible team for supporting me every step of the way and maintaining open lines of com

The film review definitely brought a lot of attention to issues within our film that we wanted to rectifiy right away! Our biggest priority when creating this film was making it better than previous projects so our audience could enjoy it. The issues we found when doing the film review included reshooting, fixing transitions, and following the theme. Reshooting was quite difficult because we had to schedule a day to get the scenes done and have everyone wear the same thing from before. Some members had trouble getting a ride so we were on limited time, but we worked with what we had and ultimately got it done. We had to compare the new footage to our old footage to make sure proper changes occurred and we wouldn't need to refilm anything again. The second issue was the transitions used for the film while we were editing. Our editor used the same transition throughout the whole film so things looked repetitive and unprofessional. This was not her fault because we should have given o

I went to check our commercial this morning to make sure it was flawless once more. Something seemed odd when I finished it. I decided to watch it again, and this time I noticed what was wrong. There was no sped-up footage in any of the scenes! The music and video became out of sync as a result which needed immediate fixing. I had no idea what had gone wrong so this was a very confusing time. Between yesterday and today, I struggled to recall what had transpired. My mind went completely blank. It was fine yesterday, but not so much today. I re-watched the video several times. Only to be met with silence. When I went to save the video to my phone, I discovered it was messed up. I sent a message to my pals asking them to resend the video, and I'll try to save it again. The video was flawless when they eventually submitted it. The scenes didn't start to speed up until I saved them to my phone. I emailed it to myself, but it still wouldn't play. I tried to come up with a differ

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story.

Production has begun, and it is safe to say that I am ready to get to work! I found that before we can start filming, it is important to pick and establish which songs we are gonna use for our project. Seeing how our theme is thriller/scary it would make the most sense to find suspenseful and eery soundtracks to place behind our music. I also need to include some upbeat songs because there are still some happy scenes throughout the film. The whole concept is two girls having a great reunion with an unexpected spectator. Most of the film would be upbeat, but the eery and creepy soundtrack would be used when the stalker appears. There will be a lot of dialogue throughout the film so the background music will not be too prominent, but it still needs to be heard. It is important to research ahead of time and read the descriptions before using these soundtracks because many of them are copyrighted. In our case, I was able to find suspenseful background music with no words on youtube. It is

Hello everyone, as you are probably are aware today is the final day of editing! We ran into an unforeseen issue that caused our editing process to be delayed. Unfortunately, we had recorded far too much footage, which did not match the concept. We had taken this additional film to include new sequences, but it ran over the time restriction, causing our film to be out of sync with the storyboard. The simple option would be to remove these segments, but we felt that they added to the overall quality of our film. As a result, I proposed that we cut several clips to make way for an additional scenario. Our editor Mia agreed with my suggestion and deleted footage to allow for the inclusion of the extra sequence in the final cut. I wanted to maintain our clips in chronological sequence since it adds to the suspense and allows viewers to follow the events of the day. We ended up deleting more sequences that were not essential to the primary plot and altering some of the storyboard elements.
