Technical Difficulties

Hey blog, bad news today. What started off as a good afternoon quickly changed to a terrible one. I was finally able to finish editing and selecting all the pictures and videos. I chose and added my music and I'm feeling good about myself. I'm telling myself how I actually finished and was able to edit and best of all my edit looks good. Or so I thought. I looked at the instructions and turns out I was missing a few things which was one big deal, So I added all that needed to be added but that wasn't the last of my worries. Then I  began having difficulties with exporting my video to my camera roll. Sadly I had to end up having to pay for the precription. That's when another problem arose, my card was declined. Then I had to look for another card to pay because unless I was planning to start over on a different editing software I wouldn't be able to submit. Plus time was not on my side. After finding a card with money to pay for the subscription I was finally able to export my video to my camera roll. You would think this is definitely the end of her troubles but it wasn't. I was trying to upload my video on video to embed into blogger but I didn't have storage on my email so it wasn't working. With the very spare and limited time I had I had to create a new email to upload my YouTube video. When I finally uploaded my video since it was under a minute it was considered short. I had to use a different method to upload my video. On the plus side, I was easy to embed in my blogger and I can finally say I'm doing this project. Too bad my class starts a new project, next class:(.

Reshoot Planning

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

Editing Part 2& Adding Music

Image
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
