Time for the Last Review Session

 

                      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 results that I was hoping for as it gave the scene its realism back. When the second round of review came around, I pointed this change out to Jasmine and Jada in which they were extremely pleased to see as they believed that it was one of the little details that required aid. They stated that it appeared much more natural than with the voiceover, therefore enhancing the film. In addition, I also pointed out the effect that I added to my voiceover in order to make it sound as if the voice was coming from the phone. They stated that they enjoyed this little change as it made the short film more realistic due to that the voice appears to come from the actual phone which improves the film. Moreover, I also added slower more dramatic zooms to the very last scene of the short film which is the door scene. This scene reveals the idea that Gabriela’s dream might not have been a dream after all. This addition of making the zooms more dramatic was suggested by my reviewers, in which they were happy to see the change being made as it truly put the dramatic feel of the film together. They also said they liked how the music fitted the film and how the titles looked. Overall, they were pleased with the results as was I, due to their first review I was able to make important changes that helped enhance my short film “Lucky” therefore completing the short film process. Well this is my cue to leave, till the next time reader!

Taking a Day to Research

Image
                    Welcome back to my blog reader! The next step in our schedule after finishing the filming the scenes of our first location , the highly anticipated filming day at the second location was up next. Our second location is our main one, this is the one and only Ocean Wa lk Mall. My team and I decided to check the location first for safety be fore beginning filming as this is an abandoned building. There were mul tiple factors to be considered as I have mentioned before. Prior to this, we researched the ab andoned place and found out that it is almost entirely empty, and a small amount of light goes through it. We read that the ponds had dried up a long time ago and that the businesses that were part of the location were not functioning anymore. We found tha t this place was somewhat of a strange location to be in a wa y, we read an individual’s encounter in which they stated that the floors seem as if they did not have an end , and most were de

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 Process

Image
Welcome back to my blog reader! My group and I took the very first steps in order to start filming our opening sequence. We started this process by asking our teacher for a camera, she provided us with a handled camera which we have some experience on how to use it as we have used I previous projects. Other individuals had used this camera prior to falling in our hands, due to this there were various takes of another indi vidual’s takes. With the US B memory converter that our teacher provided us with, we  were ab le to easily clear/make just enough room for our takes to prepare for when filming day arrives once we plugged it to one of my member’s laptops . In addition, we decide to use the tripod that we still had from a previous project due to our previo us filming experience as we have seen how necessary a tripod can be when it comes to getting a specific angle or just when trying to be steadier/have more control over the camera. In our first project, which w
