Here is my group and I's Final Task video! My team has worked so hard and I hope you enjoy!

 Hello! My group recently concluded the first round of editing the final task film. This left my group craving feedback on the video. So, I went to my dad to get a review. He gave many comments regarding the film. Including both the recordings and the editing. His review had some positive comments. However, there were also some moments of constructive criticism. One of his major points was that the film does not fully illuminate the genre. To fix this, my group added more sound effects. I added creepy and suspenseful music during certain scenes. As well as after some specific lines. This allows the viewer to gain a deeper understanding of the genre. Another main point my dad made was that the character's emotions were not illuminated as much as they could have been. So, to fix this, I altered the zoom of some clips. I zoomed in on the character's faces during or after certain lines. This helps the viewer connect to the characters by being able to see their facial emotion in gre

 Hello! Upon the conclusion of my groups final task video, my group wanted feedback on the film. I went to my dad to get a review. He does not have any experience with producing media, but he still gave an in-depth review. My dad’s feedback was very useful in ensuring my groups video was the best it could possibly be. His thoughts were as followed. His first comment is that the opening clip does not illuminate the genre enough. He also claims that the characters were not properly introduced in the beginning. He said this prevents the viewer from fully understanding the characters. Therefore not utilizing pathos to connect with the characters. He also said the angle could be improved of some of the scenes. As well as how zoomed in or out the camera is. He said that to better connect with the characters, my group could take advantage of close-up shots. This would help illustrate the characters emotions further. He also said the dialogue of the film could be improved. His last critique wa

  Hello! My group recently concluded the filming and main editing of the project. Today, my job was to find the music for the film. I first discussed with my group about what type of music would be appropriate for a film in this genre. The genre is a mystery. However, the film does not appear to be mysterious throughout the whole video. It opens with a clip of the girls getting ready. This scene has a bright mood. It does not appear to be creepy or gloomy at all. So, I decided to search for an uplifting song. Since it is cutting it close on time, I had to find a royalty-free one. This is because there would not be enough time to contact an artist with popular music to be granted permission to use the song in the video. So, I went to YouTube to search for less popular artists. I also searched on Google for songs. After some research, I found the perfect opening song. This is Godless Woman by Gun Boi Kaz. Upon listening to this song for the first time, my group immediately agreed that t

 Hello! I recently started editing my final task video. After much consideration, I decided to use the app iMovie. I chose this platform over CapCut because I was more familiar with its features and I felt more comfortable using the app. The first thing I did was import the videos. Since we filmed on Mela’s iPhone, she airdropped me the clips to edit. My group mates and I all planned on using one phone to edit. This is because it would make the process go much smoother. So, after I received all the clips from Mela, I began to edit. I imported all the clips into iMovie in the order the scenes will appear in the film. This creates simplicity in the editing process. I started trimming each clip to the desired length. Since the video had to be under 2 minutes long, getting the perfect length of each clip was tricky. I made the less relevant scenes shorter, as they did were more of filler scenes than ones that providing necessary details. Like the scene where the girls are saying bye to Mel

 Hello! My group recently concluded filming the final task video! It was a long and tedious process, but it was worth it. Now, it is time to edit. First, I thought about which editing platform to use. I looked into two main apps. One of the apps was iMovie. The other one was CapCut. I have used both of them before. The experiences I have had with both apps were relatively smooth. Therefore, I had to weigh the pros and cons of each app. First, I looked into iMovie. This app has been around for almost my whole life, so I am very familiar with the app's features. I have used iMovie for many projects before, including some projects for this class. However, my group did use CapCut for the last project, the music video. Even though I have used CapCut a few times, it has been for smaller and less complex projects. This video is much more complicated than previous projects I have created before. Due to the amount of titles that I would be adding to the video, I was beginning to lean toward
