Re-Editing Blog: Getting Everything Finished

Image
 Hey blog what's up I'm back. As you know from the last blog we had to reshoot scenes 8-9. The reason we had to reshoot these scenes was due to our findings in editing this final task. We found that our scenes weren't able to fit transitions and that there were issues in the videos themselves. There was also the issue that scene 8 was too short and scene 9 was way too long. This led to our objective for our time being thrown off. So we added the new scenes we shot and applied our transitions. This took around 20-30 minutes. But then we ran into another issue. Since we used a different phone during the filming process of the retake the resolution of our video was off. So we tweaked the resolutions of all the other parts of the film to match. This took around 15 minutes to complete. After we completed this we moved on to finishing our title. We also applied our titling to this new part of the film. Finishing the title was easy taking only around 10 minutes.  The application t

Re-filming Blog: Scenes 8-9

 Hey blog what's up I'm back. Today I'm gonna give you an update on my final task. When we looked back on all of our different scenes it seemed as if we were going to have to reshoot scenes 8-9. We were rushed during these scenes so they looked sloppy compared to the others. Some of our group members thought we shouldn't reshoot, but we eventually agreed to. I'm glad we agreed that reshooting would be the best course of action so that first-time viewers could fully be immersed in our film. Our original mistakes were minimal but were noticeable. They included being able to hear one of our members (Mia) in the other room when she was on a call. The other mistake was when filming scene 9 it took 15 takes and there were visible signs of laughing on our lead (Rowyn's face). I don't know why we couldn't keep our composer but I guess we caught a case of the giggles.  For this issue, our other group member (Kylie) gave us focal points to look at. This was to ens

Editing Blog: Wrapping Up Editing

Image
 Hey, blog I'm back. Today I am going to be wrapping up the editing process. I had planned on finishing editing last night but had to do some final touches today. When school finished I planned on going to Starbucks to finish editing. After school ended I drove to Starbucks where I remembered that I needed to finish other work. So I finished that work and began to edit. First I loaded up where I had left off on my computer. I had to add the music we had chosen previously to the Final Task. So I added the music to make sure each scene had it either in the background or louder in certain scenes depending on whether or not it was needed. After I did this I started to make sure the video was under the time limit. After I realized it was at the sweet spot for time. I was happy that every element could be shown in our video. Then I added some final touches. Where I made sure all the transitions were correct. I also had to make sure whether or not the scenes were in order to tell the stor

Editing Blog: Choosing the Music

Image
 Hey blog, I'm back again. Today I will be finding and choosing the correct music that I believe will fit this project. Yesterday I was able to finish the majority of the editing. This is good because it sets me ahead of schedule. So today I will be choosing what music to use for our project. First I will find something that is copyright free so that we can actually use it. Then I will need to find something that will relate to the horror we are going for. In total, there were 3 songs I found. One was called Justify the Lie but it didn't really fit the theme we're trying to go for. Another one of the songs I found was called The Music Box which is like the generic type of song for a horror movie. I decided that song was not the best one that we could use. The song we ended up picking was Haunted by Ross Bugden. This song perfectly fits our project and our whole group believes we made the right decision. Now all we have to do is add the music into the iMovie. After we do tha

Editing Blog: Picking Up Where I Left Off

 Hey blog, I'm back again. Today we are going to resume editing. Unfortunately yesterday I was only able to get a small part done because of baseball. Today I also had another baseball game. But this game was at home so I got home sooner and was able to resume the editing process. When I got home from the game I took a shower. Then after I showered I grabbed all my books and computer and sat down at my desk. I had a Pre-Cal test the next day so first I started studying that. Then after I got to a point where I felt confident in myself I started editing again. First I reopened the document I made previously and opened iMovie. Then I started editing by finishing getting all of the scenes in order. Then from there, I finished applying the transitions. As I was wrapping up this part of the editing I realized it was getting late it was almost 11. After completely finishing this part I decided to call it a night. So for tomorrow I will be adding music other touches to the project. That&#
