Genre Decision

  





After a long discussion, we chose to do a thriller film. Even though I personally am not a fan of scary movies when planning potential pitches this genre was the one who thought of more ideas. Not only were we able to think of more ideas but even plan a little into the storyboard verbally and mentally at least. Also, this project like our last will allow us to connect with friends while making a great film. Hope to make this film as successful as our music video or better and hope to fun fun doing it. Stay tuned.

Reshoot Planning

Image
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...

Reshoot

 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...
