For my creative critical reflection (CCR), I conducted an unboxing of the new addition to my album collection while I answered these four key questions about the opening sequence to my film, SOLUS. This experience was extremely fun, and I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

        Welcome back to my blog reader! This has been a wonderful journey and experience; I am proud of what my team members and I have created together.

Everything Has Led to this Moment

                                          Welcome back to my blog reader ! The final day has come, we p lanned on finishing editing at school but unfortunately these past few days there has been extrem ely bad weather and there has been multiple floods which has led the school to be closed , complicating things for us as we are not able to physically meet up in order to finish editing our video . However, have no fear as we’ll communicate through an online platform in order to finish editing and review our video . We began this process by creating a tittle card that we envisioned to go at the end of the film. We created the title card through the app P icsArt and concluded that it would go not long after the screen goes pitch black. My team members and I agreed that th e   picture for the title card would be one of an open cloudy road rather than one that is developed/industrialized/ crowded   in order to make it seen deserted and create somewhat of a ghostly fe

Starting the Editing Process

                             Welcome back to my blog reader ! Kyra and Hailey met up at Hailey’s house in order to begin our begin our editing process, as I mentioned in previous blog, I was sadly not able to attend this meeting as I was unable of finding someone to take me to her house. We handled this issue as we previously had with texting and facetiming throughout the whole process . They began by opening the app CapCut   as this is the one, we used to edit due to that Kyra being already familiarized with it and we had used it in previous projects. We handpic ked the clips that we fancied the most into one file to make it easier on our end to find the right clips when we start editing in order to sav e time and patience. We as a group agreed that something felt off when we saw all the clips together (sent to me) and concluded that it was best to add a scene where Hailey had to call her mo ther in order let the audience know the reason as to why she went to the mall to

Filming Day at the Mall Part 2

  Welcome back to my blog reader! This is the continuation of our mall day filming at the Ocean Walk Mall in which, as I had previously mentioned that I was  unfortunately not able to attend as I had an issue when it came  down to no one being able to take me to the mall. My team members and I handled this problem as even though I was not able of being physically present in the filming, I attempted to help my team   in any way I could through text and facetime . Hailey and Kyra were scared that they were going to be kicked out of the mall due to that various doors of the mall were closed off and did their best to be  quiet in order for no one to tell them to leave the mall, so we communicated through text messages. The first scene that was filmed was where our character was looking around the mall and calling out in desperation for her mother. After this scene, they accidentally went into the side of the mall where there were multiple workers . They

Filming Day at the Mall Part 1

                    Welcome back to my blog reader! The day that we all had been waiting for has finally arrived, and which day is that you may ask? The day that we are going to film is at our s econd location, which is the abandoned Ocean Walk Mall. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the filming at the mall as I was not able to get anyone to take me to the location. My parents were working, my cousins as well, and my team members Kyra and H ailey were not able to give me a ride. This was unfortunate as I was extremely excited to film the mall scenes, however I communicated with my group through text messages and facetime in order to provide any aid I could even if I was not there physically. My team members messaged me when they were in the car on their way to the mall and said that they took much longer than expected to get there because of traffic as it was a day o ff from school due to a holiday. When they were finally able to get there , they began walking under
