Time to Challenge Myself

 

                            Welcome back to my blog reader! As you know dear reader, when I was in AS level media studies, I worked with a wonderful group that taught me communication and collaboration skills which I highly value and hold dear now as an A level media studies student. Moving forward from that experience to now, I have decided that this time and for this project I am going to challenge myself further and I'm going to work by myself in order to see how far I can go and push myself for the better. Now that you know that my group consists of only myself, I would like to talk to you, reader of mine, about my experience of filming and editing as well as what I wish to improve this time around. In my previous projects, editing and filming are skills that I have been exposed to more and more as time went on due to those experiences. By giving myself this opportunity to work on a project by myself, it can serve as a way of showing me how far my previous projects have gotten me and how did they polish my skills. A way to truly see how from not knowing much about filming and large-scale editing projects to having to communicate and collaborate with other individuals to bring our ideas to life as a whole, to now working by myself in order to really be able to demonstrate what I have taken away from this wonderful experience of ups and downs. Further, I am extremely excited to be starting to work on this project due to that I feel that it can most definitely build and polish my skills even more and can provide me with more knowledge therefore highlighting its educational value. Moreover, I am aware that this is going to be a much more difficult experience than when working in a group and I am aware that I might struggle from time to time. However, I am honestly up for the challenge as it will provide me with more room to grow and improve as well as providing me with a brand-new experience and with an opportunity to put my skills to the test. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader! 

. Facing the obstacles of working by myself with excitement!

It is Time to Plan

                  Welcome back to my blog reader! I will discuss my plans for my short film, including scheduling, health and safety, location, participants, back-up plans, and costumes. Starting with   locatio n, the first scene consists of the young woman getting ready to go to the event her f riend is dragging her to which will take place at my house . Then, the second location will take place in a mall that is relatively isolated or an at empty area where the young woman will arrive believing is the correct location. The young woman will try to walk around in confusion in attempt to find said event. She asks someone about it and they say that the event had passed weeks/or never took place there. She then calls her friend through her house phone and the friend tells her that she never sent her that ticket and that her phone was lost. The young women trying to process what is happening returns home which is our last locatio...

Time for the Last Review Session

Image
                        Welcome back to my blog reader! After making the changes suggested by my close friends Jada and Jasmine, I completed the editing for the film and decided that it is time for a second review as the improvements have been made. Further, there was the audio quality change made to the scene where the protagonist Gabriela interacts with a stranger as she asks where the event is located . As I had mentioned before, due to background noise and wind, the audio quality was not the best therefore I had requested my actresses to do a voiceover for the scene. When review time came around, Jasmine and Jada were not fully satisfied with the voiceover as it made the scene lack realism. This led me on another path to find a more improved solution. I found a feature that enhances the audio quality of videos within the application that I was using to edit the short film which was CapCut . This feature gave the r...

Back to the Editing Room

          Welcome back to my blog reader ! After ta king in all the advice and comments that my close friends Jasmine and Jada provided me with regarding my sho rt fil m “Lucky” after they watched it. I have gathered all their suggestions and concerns and have taken them back with me to the editing room. Further, for the scene where Gabriela, the protagonist of the film, interacts with the stranger to ask where the event is located . There was poor quality audio for that scene as I filmed it at the mall therefore there was background noise as well as the sound of the wi nd. This scene is a crucial part of the film, thus I had to fi nd a solution to the problem. I asked the actress who plays Gabriela and the actress who plays the stranger to voiceover that scene in attempt to make it easier for the viewer to unde rstand the dialogue as it plays a vital role tha t in the story and leads to the suspenseful areas of the film. Furt...
