 Hey blog family! I am back again and you know what that means! Just a little away from sharing my amazing opening sequence! I am so excited to have my amazing blog family see the final results.  As you know, I recently shared with you some comments made on my opening sequence. I got to share my group's "short film" with a peer of my choice. I chose my mother and peer Jahziah. As they watched the video, I told them to give me any feedback, constructive and blunt. I needed it to make my project better. Ultimately, they didn't complain much about it. They loved the editing aspect. Such as the lighting and exposure, angles, and sound effects. They really complimented the costumes, backgrounds, and acting. They both concluded that the vibe and the realistic feeling of the movie made it well. However, there were a few remarks the group took into consideration. Jahziah said that one the clips towards the opening of the film was shaky. After reviewing the film, we found whic

  Hey blog! I'm back, and this time my opening sequence is done! However, you won't be  seeing it just yet. Someone, on the other hand, got to see it. For our opening sequence, we were able to select someone to review it. I chose both, my mother and my great friend and fellow school peer, Jahziah. I initially just wanted my mothers opinion, but having a peer in AICE media studies review my opening sequence could be beneficial. Overall, similar comments were made. They both enjoyed the storyline. They liked how the scenes were clear and in sequence. The costumes were of great use as well. Jahziah said they added to the mood and vibe of the movie, and added to the horror scenery and genre. My mother said my brother, wearing all black, made him look like an actual perpetrator in a horror film. They both loved the use of the Scream mask and the knife prop as well. Jahziah mentioned how she enjoyed the realistic setting in the beginning. The background noise and cars honking while w

 Hello Blog! I'm back, and this time with more progress on the editing of our opening sequence. Kylee, our dedicated editor decided it would be best to split up the project to work into sections. It made a lot of sense to Hailey and I. In a sense that it would initially help the editing process run more efficiently. And if anything were to go wrong anyway, we had the project shared, and were able to collaborate right in the moment. The idea of splitting sections also allowed involvement from all group members in one aspect or another. Kylee was quick about her selected section. She claimed to edit the ending scenes because she enjoyed them most. She said watching it was intruiging, and it would be the enjoyable to edit. We didn't compete nor complain with her pick, because she was the initial editor. So, it was kind of what kylee wants, kylee gets, type of situation! LOL. We seperated our planning into 3 different days. In which we would complete different tasks. Day 1, we work

Hello blog fam and welcome back to another blog! Each time we talk we are getting closer to sharing our opening sequence! I am so excited to share with you all. Me and my groupmates have worked so hard so far. We are so eager to publish our art! The next thing we needed to discuss is the editing. Without an editing software, how were we supposed to put everything together to publish! The editing software we chose for this project is Cap-Cut. Similar to all of our other tasks, we are using Cap-Cut. My groupmates and I have all used Cap-Cut before. We agreed it would be the easiest editing software application to use to put everything together. Cap-Cut just makes everything so much easier then other applications such as Adobe. It allows for Hailey, Kylee and I to share the certain project between different devices. This is essential is one of us needs to work on it when another can't. In addition to sharing, Cap-Cut is fairly easily to work and navigate. Every filter, cropping, trimm

Production Blog : Change of Plans

 Hello blog! It's been somewhat of a stressful week. However, we are getting close to the end of this project. At least that brings some reassurance and sanity to me. The opening sequence has been running smoothly so far. However, there were  slight change of plans made. It was nothing major, as was able to be adjusted to easily. We were set the film to days throughout the week. Tuesday and Thursday, with the addition of the weekends. Recently, I had to commit to practice everyday of the week for a cheer team. Hailey and Kylee cheer for the same gym and team like me. It made our schedules somewhat easier because we practiced on the same days. That isn't the case anymore. I now practice Tuesdays and Thursdays. I used to only practice on Monday and Wednesday with my groupmates, leaving 2 days during the week to progress through our assignment.  Although it isn't a severe change, it conflicts with our progress. In a sense that, we now have limited time to get together and work
