We filmed... Well

 The group was able to meet up at my house and start filming for our movie. All was going well, Jason had his costume and was playing detective Reynolds. I had my costume and was playing Hoffman. Elena was doing a good job as the coroner and had her costume on as well. And Zeyn came prepared to be the dead body. Elena brought a bunch of props and things we could use in our film to make it more realistic. The filming process was going seamlessly and we were honestly having a lot of fun filming with all the props and such. However, midway through our session Jason parents had called and he had to go. So we didn't even get to the part where the detectives were at the park and we skipped out on a lot of filming at my house. After Jason left me Zeyn and Elena all got as many more clips as we could without him however this put us back a good amount. We plan to meet again sometime after school either this week or next week. We might also meet again this weekend. However, we are kind of in a crunch time to get this filming done so we can move onto the editing process. With this being a longer film we are aware that we do really need to speed it up. If we continue to move at this slow pace and procrastinate the filming process we are not going to complete our film by the due date. Other than Jason having to leave though we did get about half way through the storyboard so another hour or two of filming should get us to be completed. I feel that during the filming we had great acting and monologue. Elena was a great help in directing and making sure Jason and I knew our lines. She also was great at getting ideas for camera angles and how to get things done. Overall, we would be in a much worse scenario without her presence.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  To be completely honest, that has to be one of the most disturbing films I’ve watched in a long time. There was no talking throughout the whole short film. The setting was lifeless and looked as if this animated world had been abandoned. The plot started with  two doll-like figures with some sort of numbers on their back, one being 5 and the other being 9. They end up coming across this mechanical looking monster, it looks like they went for a mixture of a lion and a dog type of design but made entirely of metal. It had bright green eyes and a disturbing roar. This monster proceeds to abduct the doll labelled 5 and uses a green portal device to kill him. The other doll that was labelled 9 was terrified and ran away to go hide. Eventually it comes to the doll labelled 9 find pieces of junk that he puts together to create a torch however, with a lightbulb doll 9 ends up attracting the monster into a abandoned cave like setting, where doll 9 intraps themself on a large wooden p...

Production Blog - We edited our video!

Image
       Since the last blog many things have progressed. I have began editing and almost completed editing for my video. When editing my video I went through many trial and error of how I wanted the videos overall feeling to be. It took me a little more than 15 mins to find the song I wanted to use. I used real Gatorade ads as context for the music and music style that I wanted to use. Once I found the music video I wanted to use I added some non-copyright sound effects to use for add on effects. It took me a while to cut up and find proper transitioning and timing for the video. One thing I have definitely learned that editing takes time and patience to get the best possible outcome. I also added some filters and color correction on the video to create a dramatic and intense effect on the video. Once I had the major components combined I began to work on the small details. The music and all sound, visual effects, and transitioning was completed. So I began to work on...
