 Here is my final film. Please enjoy!

 Today, I am making my last blog for the film project. I will be reviewing my film for the last time and my experience with my group. I know I said I was done editing, but I decided to work on it more. Fortunately, I didn't make many changes. I kept most of it the same except for the music, and some scene changes. I know it sounds like much but trust me, it isn't. The music was because I used the same sound throughout the film. I wanted to be more versatile so it didn’t get stale. And for the scene changes, I wasn't the most proud of it before. Unfortunately, I was busy on one of the days we recorded and you could tell those scenes lacked structure. Since we mainly did retakes, I re-ordered some scenes to make the story seem less bland because they went all over the place. With all honesty, I am proud of the film we made. I believe we all worked hard. Yes, we had our ups and downs, but together as a group, we were able to succumb to any challenges and make the best film a g

Today I’m here to talk about the film review for our final project. The first strength I would like to point out is the atmosphere I was able to create with the editing lighting features. But even before that the group was able to choose a nice location and was able to do it during a certain time when the lighting was already picture-perfect. Another strength I would like to point out is our creativity. We drew the title in the dirt to add a cliche style to our horror film. Meanwhile, our plot is what you would expect from an old horror movie before the 2000’s.  you can see the creativity shine when we play our roles. Each of us made our character more lively but going off script made the film much better. What I love about our film the most is the suspense. We set up multiple opportunities for fake suspense by having fake buildups making the viewer think they were going to get jump scared but in reality, nothing happened. Some flaws are as I mentioned before, there is a predictable pl

      Tonight, I'm writing about my second editing blog for our final film project. The last editing blog I mentioned the resources I was planning on using. I talked about using the lighting system to create an ominous atmosphere, and eerie sound effects. As well as the color grading options to enhance the eerie ambiance of the scenes, making every frame feel unsettling and ominous. And the motion tracking feature which I finally learned what it was by using it. It a dds precision and enhances visual effects, creating engaging and professional-quality videos. And, you can apply a speed curve to create a smooth, cinematic viewing experience. I'm proud to say I used as many features as I can and I certainly used every feature mentioned in the first editing blog. One of the ones I was most excited about was the s plit screen feature. It heightened suspense and delivered shocking moments which I didn't believe was possible. Another feature I used is the text and tiles. It was

     We tried to film over the weekend but were unable to. We decided to make it during the weekend because we were going to be outdoors, and our phones said it would be perfect weather. Unfortunately, the weather app lied to us. Around 10 minutes after arriving it started to rain. At first, it was a light rain so we decided to continue with the filming. But when we finished our first scene it started to rain harder. We hid under a gazebo, waiting and hoping for the rain to calm down. We waited for around 20 minutes then the rain lightened. We thought it would be best to continue before it picks up again. We had to set up the tent again because when it started raining heavily Mario was afraid of the tent getting wet. After setting it back up I told them we should just film the scenes that involve the tent in case it starts to rain harder again. Long story short, it ended up raining again before we were able to do anything. We’re rescheduling the rest of our filming potentially on the 2

Me, Jayden, Mario and Myles all planned to do different things while we make our movie. Since it was a horror movie, we had to find costumes for the main villain. We didn't make a decision because if we bought a bad costume, the scene could be scary and not scary. The hardest part was deciding who would be the main villain. We decided that Jayden was the villain because he volunteered and fit into more costumes. The main villain also needed a weapon and we decided on a machete because we all love the Friday the 13th movies and that inspired us to use it. We were ready to bring our initial period to life. As a last step, I bought all the necessary items and we went to the film set. However, it was a bit difficult because we all had different schedules and we have to find a time that works for all of us. We still plan to do the scenes as we planned before, but we decided to edit the script as a group. This was because when we read the script out loud, we noticed that some lines felt
