Production Blog: Updates on Filming Schedule

 Hello! My group and I have recently begun preparing to film the Final Task video. My group has had some major schedule changes in the past couple of weeks. The original plan was to begin filming this past weekend. However, due to the Super Bowl and my wisdom teeth surgery, my group had to postpone. This caused some panic in the group as the time is running short to film the project. This conflict does seem like a major setback, but it is not going to stop my group. My group will get through the troubles. After much discussion, my group tried scheduling to begin filming this Tuesday after school, but that date did not work for Lindsay. Then the next idea was to film Wednesday or Thursday, but those dates did not work for Mela. Another idea was to start this weekend, but that does not work with my schedule. So, my group is quite stressed about when filming will begin. But, there are still a few weeks until the project is due. I have no doubt that my group will utilize any free time to work and make sure this film is to the best of my group's abilities. My group's decision is to play it by ear right now. Meaning that my group will continue to check up on each other's schedules to see which dates work. At the moment, if all goes according to plan, my group should begin filming next weekend. This would give my group plenty of time to edit and ensure the project is perfect. Despite the conflicts, there is still a chance that filming can occur after school one day this week. I am looking forward to producing this film!

      Hello! Last week, my group and I began filming the music video. Immediately after filming each scene, my groupmates reviewed all the clips to make sure all the elements of the film were included. After wrapping up filming for the day and checking the quality of each clip, my group and I began to edit. Since my group used multiple cameras for filming, my group had to import all the clips into the editing app. My group accomplished this by iMessaging the videos in a group chat with every member of the group, that way everyone could view the clips. Kemora volunteered to do the editing on her iPhone since she has the most experience with editing.     Next, every member of my group helped to edit the music video. At this point in time, my group had not filmed every scene yet, so only a few clips could be imported. After uploading each video into the editing app, CapCut, I added the song. Once again, the song my group chose was All the Stars by Kendrick Lamar an...

Production Blog: Choosing an Editing Platform!

 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...

Pitch A: Three girls discover a treasure map washed up on the shore so the follow the map and are brought on an adventure. Pitch B: A group of friends go out to dinner and discover a killer secret about their friend. Discuss Pitch A: This movie idea would be exciting to film, but it may be hard to produce. Our original idea was to open the movie at the beach, which would be easy to do since we live close. However, since it is a treasure hunt, we would have to travel to multiple places on the map which may be hard for us to accomplish. Also, it may be difficult to create the treasure map and to make the scene of us finding the map look realistic. Furthermore, this is a very general and overused plot line, so it may seem repetitive. Discuss Pitch B: This movie idea seems amusing to produce. Our plan would be to film at the beach, at night, near our houses. We would make use of the utilities at the beach, like the restaurants and social events. However, there are some drawbacks. Since it ...
