After reshooting we all cleaned up and ate. To treat our actors we took them to the movies afterwards since we finished filming at around 7:30. The next day was all about filming. We added in our first scene with the establishing shot. Then added a transition to where Christel opened the door for everyone to come in. We exchanged some of our clips to add the ones we refilmed. Then we had to do a lot of cutting and speeding up. We also switched the scene of Christel's reading to note to our new one to cut down on time. After that, we fixed the audio to add so to the beginning new scene. We also changed the font for our words like the actors to be seen more clearly. After making the font more bold we increased the size. We also increased the voice of our actors because my classmates and friends told me it was hard to hear them. Then I showed my classmates to see if there was anything else I could improve. They told me it was really good and I think I'm ready to submit. I hope

The day came to reshoot. I was late. That was really bad coming from me especially since I was like everyone needs to make sure they're on time but I wasn't on time it was for a situation like this I wanted everyone there at 4. Foruntainntally for me, I wasn't the only one late. I had to get my hair done. Chatae went shopping. Isabella lives all the way in Hollywood and her parents had an emergency before they dropped her off. Fortunately, we were all there by 6: 20 and began filming at 6:47. Before filming we blew some ballons because we had ballons the last time we filmed. Then we wrapped some boxes to look likes gifts so our scenes were as identical as possible from the last time. We turned on the house light outside and everyone got ready for our new scene. In this scene, we wanted to add an establishing shot so we drove into the parking lot and Kaydiane so turned to show us around the house. We then rerecorded Christel opening up the mystery box. This was so we cou

The first person I reviewed our Flim was Leila Jean Charles. We may remember this name as she was in our music video playing the friend of Chatae Taylor. She loved it and said my acting was really good. Then I asked my Godsisters to watch it and tell me what they thought the movie would be about by watching the film to make sure it's clear what our pitch is. They weren't sure but said they thought it was a dead sister coming back to haunt them. That is about right, which means Kaydiane and I are on the right track as of now. I then asked for some crique and they told me its good but the part where Keron said didn't your sister die around that time was too quiet. I will talk to Kaydiane and well will add that in the reshoot. Then I asked my classmate Sophia and she said Chatae standing outside scared her. That made me happy to hear because that's exactly why I wanted her standing in the background in the beginning and someone actually noticed. She really likes the edi

Reshoot The second day we were editing we began to look over all the camera angles we originally planned to include. We were missing three: a shot reverse shot, an establishing shot, and a low angle. For the shot reserve shot, we planned to have Keron and Christel arguing to get Keron's pov of the agreement. For the establishing shot, we wanted to show the friends pulling into the drive and showing around the house as they ate pulling in. For the Low angle, we wanted to record Cgristel's reaction as she opened the box and took out the note. Then we discussed a date to reshoot. We added all our actors to a group chat and told them we had to reshoot and why. We also told them to wear the same exact clothes. We told them the date and time we needed them and Kaydiane's house. Lastly, we asked if they could all make it. Thankfully they could. Now we have some things to worry about. Where are we going to find the same exact wrapping paper? Will we use different wrapping paper an

Today we first started looking at different effects, Then as we were looking for places we were going to incorporate non-diegetic sounds. Then we went on an AI sound-generating website to find typing noises, but none sounded good. So then we began looking for sound effects within the Flimora app. Kaydiane then recorded herself typing and we uploaded the sound to the beginning of the film which was perfect. We went on YouTube and searched for no copyrighted music. After a long search for instrumentals, we finally found one. Our film was really coming together. The problem came when we needed the movie to fade out for Keron's comment and the crickets. It just didn't flow. We then went on YouTube again to extract cricket sound effects that we liked better. We also split the sounds so certain background sounds fight in their respective scenes for what was going on in the scenes. Happier sounds for happier scenes, scary noises, and suspenseful sounds for the parts suspenseful/scary
