Missed the First Day of Editing...

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to school today and talk with my partners. I made sure to let them know in advance, and luckily, they didn't really need me there with them to start the editing process anyway. Luckily, we finished a majority of our filming. They finished the last bit we needed to film today, and sent me the videos to look them over. They came out exactly like how I pictured them, thank god. I tried to make sure to stay close to my phone so if they needed anything they could just ask me. I was trying to get ahead of work I may have missed in other classes these fast two days I've stayed home from school. They did end up working on a good chunk of the editing today. It was mainly just something that Kaitlyn threw together last minute just so we could get an idea of how things were going to look like. It came out pretty good, and not to brag, I really do like how our commercial is coming out. It's almost exactly how I envisioned it to be. Now, as I am supposed to be the main editor, they sent me the video, and now I can use the clips to make the final version of our edited commercial. We need to add things like proper transitions, music, and other factors. The length of the amount we have so far should be about 24 seconds long. This is perfect, because it leaves just enough time to leave the ending screen with the Crayola logo and slogan, which we also had an idea for. Luckily the editing shouldn't take too long, as we only have one day for it left. Although, I am confident that we will be able to finish it in time, and not have it be a rushed job. Kaitlyn will be absent next class, unfortunately. The only good thing is, since I'm doing the editing, her absence shouldn't deter our progress TOO much. I am proud of the fact that our group seems to have good communication skills, which without them, we would DEFINITELY be behind.

      Today, my group and I talked talked about music that was best for our film. We considered asking permission to use a song, but figured that'd be too complicated. It is much easier and simpler to use basic royalty free music online. I was looking for places to find music that would be royalty free, and ultimately opted to looking a site called FreePD.com. Searching with my partners, we were able to find some music that we felt would go with the mood of the movie. Choosing a couple of the songs was definitely a longer process, mainly due to having to go through so many available choices, but fortunately, we were able to narrow down our favorites. “Big Eyes” by Rafael Krux will be playing towards the end of scene 2, all of scene three, and a little bit of scene four. Then “Lonely Mountain” as by Rafael Krux will enter in scene five. But towards the middle “Big Eyes” would come back and start playing again subtly in the background. The last scene, sc...

More Into Filming

     To add onto what I said in my previous blog, we had to make some changes to the scene once we started filming it. While we were filming, we made a few changes from what we had on the script. It was simply change in dialog, as we felt what we originally had just didn't feel right and didn't look the way we wanted it to. It's also what took away most of our time, after taking so long on the makeup like I said before. The scene was originally supposed to have some more dialog, and once we tried filming it a couple of times, it just wasn't feeling right. It was getting a bit frustrating, especially since we barely had any time left before I had to leave. We finally took a second to stop filming and watch over the scene. We starting thinking of what else we could say in the scene that would make it better. After a little while, I suggested that we just say nothing at all. It would make the scene more impactful if we stayed silent, as we were meant to be upset and distra...

Intro Blog

  My name is Sofia, and welcome back to my blog! I'm in 10th grade and I am 16 years old. Again, I'm taking this class mainly because I know it is a good class to have under your belt for college, and the course itself seemed pretty interesting. I do only one sport, which is swimming; I do year-round club swimming for my city and I also am on my school's swim team. Iv'e actually just recently joined my school's water polo team, just to try it out (it's pretty fun so far!). In all honesty, I don't get much free time, but when I do, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, and doing things with my friends and my dog Loui. I don't have a favorite movie, but I am a HUGE MCU fan, so I consider all marvel movies my favorite movies. As for my dog Loui, he is the cutest thing in the world. He's a white Maltese, and I don't know what I would do without him (his birthday is on Halloween). I'm actually allergic to dogs, but I'm completely okay with gettin...
