Today, we used Flim the Flimmore app. This is the same app we used for our music video. I really like this app because it's easy to use. There are also so many great effects, the sounds, the transitions, and how easy it is to cut and add scenes. There was also music which we discovered today which means we don't have to worry about getting copywrited. The main downside to the app is that we have to pay for it which is a boomer. But quality work doesn't come cheap.  First, we put all the videos in chronological order. However, we ended up having to add them one at a time so we could add the takes we thought were the best. While recording we knew some of our actors were doing a lot of unnecessary talking in the shots but editing made us realize just how much extra talking they were doing. Then we put the scenes we liked the best in chronological order. We began discussing some issues and making adjustments. First, we made adjustments to the time cut cutting some scenes that w...

 The rest of scenes 3 and 4 went pretty smoothly. There were very few interruptions. I think the hardest part was figuring out what camera angle Kaydiane was going to record from so we could use a variety of them. Scene 5 had way too much dialogue. Kaydiane and I were very repetitive and ended up cutting it down to only 2 or 3 people saying their lines. It just didn't flow with all the extra dialogue and lines we had in the script. Also being that our film can't surpass more than two minutes it was making this one clip a lot longer than we needed it it be. In scene two Keron mentions how Christel's sister died last year. Apparently, this was so funny to everyone. If it wasn't Keron, it was Avione, Lynn, or someone laughing at his statement. Of course, this slowed us down a bit more. Before the next part of the scene, I warned everyone that we HAD to get this right. There were only 3 boxes that were wrapped because we needed more wrapping paper. Therefore, we could not b...

"Hurry up and eat!" "We need to start filming!" I said as it was nearing 8:30. We were 2 hours behind schedule. I told everyone to look at their lines once more than we started. In our first scene, most of us were outside while Christel was inside. Kaydiane and I instructed everyone to simply come inside to say 'Happy birthday" and maybe give Christel a hug. We also insisted on not taking too long because our film can not be longer than 2 minutes and we need time to fit the rest of the scenes in the video. This one scene took 5 or 6 different takes. One of the takes (I believe the 4th take) was perfect, however, Keron cursed being that this is supposed to be a school-appropriate film we had to reshoot. In this scene, I also told Chatae (who's playing the missing sister) to stand in the back so we hopefully catch her in the background with the camera so it's like a"  what's that?" moment to the audience.  For the second scene, we gave e...

 The day finally came, film day! At 2 pm on February 17, I went to Walmart to buy wrapping paper to wrap some boxes to look like gifts. Unfortunately, I left the wrapping tapping in the car after my dad dropped me off. Then I went home packed and ate. At 4 I left my house with my dad to pick up Chatae( one of our actors). After picking her up, we took a 35-40-minute drive to Kaydiane's house (where we were filming). Once there we went to pick up Avoine( another actor). Keron( another actor) went to shower since he was already at Kaydiane's house. Problem one: arose when we reached Aoine's house and had to wait for his mom to come because he couldn't leave his sister by herself This delayed us about 15 to 20 minutes. Then after that, we had to pick up some food so nobody complained of hunger as we were filming it was around 7:15. We got back to the house about 15-30 minutes later waiting on the food and driving back to the house. Then the second problem arose when Christ...

We first began making a rough draft of our storyboard. We had the actors from our last project and others who wanted to be part of our next projects (this is now). After making a draft and sending it out to some of our actors, many bailed. First Zamarion said, "I don't want to be in it." Then Dazira said, "Absolutely not." When I told you, I was too stunned to speak after what she said. Not only that, two days later, my partner Kaydiane texted me, saying, "We're going to need a backup for Keron." As if this project wasn't hard enough already, our actors were not cooperating. Now we need to find someone to replace Keron, being that he was an important character. I am not sure if Leila will be able to attend, being that she is going on a birthday cruise, and I think the day we planned to film might be a day she's on her cruise.    Kaydiane and I changed the date we film from February 24th to February 17th in order to make more time to make ...

 

  The font we chose we used in the title project was called Horizon. The colors we used were back and white like printing with no color ink.  The title as of right now is going to be “Where’s Tae?” We will use a fade-in and fade-out transition to introduce the titles and the actor's names will come up in the very beginning as they are walking into the house for the sleepover. The actors' names will appear each for one second and the title “Where the will appear at the end of our short film for 3 to 5 seconds.
