Production Blog: Editing

 Now that we are done filming it is time to put it all together. We all agreed that Tom should be in charge of editing. He was in charge of editing for our last project together too. He has learned many new editing skills. Tom also has the best computer in our group. We were going to meet at his house, but decided to have our meeting over a phone call. This allowed more versatility for everyone. Our next step was figuring out which software to use. The options were Adobe or Cap-cut. After some deliberation we agreed on Cap-cut. After that we worked for a while. As Tom edited the clips together we would discuss what changes needed to be made. Maybe making a certain clip shorter or adding a certain effect to the scene. We definitely spent way too much time on the transitions though. I tried to integrate them into the clips, but it still took some time. The total time was about 4 hours. At least until my group decided it was enough editing. After that we reviewed the clips we had put together. Looking through it, we all agreed it looked really good. We all said goodbye and agreed to meet again soon for the next blog.

Production Blog: Song Choice

In the whirlwind of filmmaking, one of the most challenging tasks we encountered was finding the perfect song to accompany our scenes. We knew that the right music could elevate our film to new heights, but finding it proved to be a daunting endeavor. Hours were spent scouring through endless playlists, searching for that elusive melody that would capture the essence of our story. Each member of our team had their own vision for the soundtrack, leading to passionate debates and conflicting opinions. We experimented with various genres, from upbeat pop tunes to soulful ballads, hoping to strike the perfect chord with our audience. Despite our efforts, every song we considered seemed to fall short of our expectations. Frustration mounted as deadlines loomed, and the pressure to find the ideal track intensified. We revisited scenes repeatedly, attempting to synchronize them with different music choices, but nothing seemed to fit seamlessly. The search for the perfect song became a test of...

Production Blog: Filming Part 2

 Todays blog is about filming, again. This time we filmed the night scenes. The best time for this was around 7 PM. The hardest part of the day was finding the right place. The street had to be empty. Traffic would have made filming in the middle of the street really hard. It could also have been too loud for the camera and blocked out our voices. To find the best street we just drove around. We spent almost 45 mins searching for the perfect place. Eventually we found it. It was just what we were looking for. It was dark and had almost no traffic. We got our places set up and got ready to film. Our group went over the script again. Then the angles and movements needed. Once everyone was ready and in place we started. These outdoor scenes were really fun to film. The only issue was the cold. We were outside for a while and it was windy. Filming took about 2 hours. Overall today went great and I'm excited for the next one.
