What do I think about this film? (Film Review)

Image
Hey cuties! So with editing all finished we have now look over the film. Honestly, I love it! I think it was really well filmed. I feel like we did a really good job at capturing the idea I had. The only part of the film that I feel like wasn’t captured that well was the idea that the character is deaf. I had no idea how to show it that well. But I hope the point comes across. I wanted it to be that the attacker was ableist and only went for deaf people. Which was the reason it was so important for the one being attacked was deaf. I really hope that you guys like it as much as we do. I’m pretty proud of it. I think the music really made it all come together. I also think that Kaylee used the perfect font for what we were going for. All together our team really enjoyed the film even though it wasn’t exactly what I expected. I’m happy with the changes that were made. That’s all for today. I hope you have a wonderful day. Bye lovelies!

Maybe editing isn’t so stressful - (Editing Blog)

  Hey cuties! Kaylee and I just finished our editing. Our team came to a decision, this decision being that we will be using Kaylees edited version. With some of the editing used by my version, our videos is almost complete. I finally decided on music to use. I chose two different songs, one by Power Music Factor and the other by Elysium Audio Labs. Honestly, I’m pretty happy with the music we used. I was stressing out about it at first but seeing it with the edited version made it so much better. Kaylee honestly did a wonderful job with the editing. I’m so glad that she was chosen to edit our film. I was a little bummed out that we didn’t choose my version but at the end of the day, hers was best for our film. Again not much had to be done for the editing but what was done added so so much to it. I am so proud of it. I’m so proud of everyone role in the film. Everyone had roles and responsibilities and Kaylee definitely shined through. Anyway that’s all for today. Have a wonderful day

Editing is so overly stressful! - (Editing blog)

  Hi cuties! So today Kaylee started the editing process. She has kept both Greg and I in the loop making sure we like it. I think that so far the editing is going really good. We decided that I was gonna edit it and Kaylee was going to edit it. From this we will decide which one was best to use. Or if it could be combined. It’s crazy how with how it was filmed there was barely any need for editing. But I think the editing is going to add at least a little bit more depth to the filming. On my part I’m trying to see if we want to use any color correctors. But I don’t think it’s gonna be necessary. I think that the lighting was perfect for the mood I wanted to convey. I’m honestly really excited to see what it’s going to become. And I’m also trying to see what music is going to be the best thing for the film. Right now I’m stuck between three different sounds. It’s a little nerve wracking to know that this could make or break our entire film. Anyway, that’s all for today. Have a wonderfu

Big changes being made!

Image
  Hey cuties! So one huge change we had to make was the script! When I had created the script I didn’t know that we had to have dialogue. I don’t know why I didn’t know, it really just slipped my mind. So we had to add some form of dialogue. Also a huge change being made is that we completely refilmed. I liked the first take that we got but I felt like it wasn’t very good. So we had to film again. I wasn’t mad about this though and we fixed the issue of no dialogue. This time I was an actor and Greg was the other actor and I liked it much more. I feel like it made a bit more since for our storyline. We had to make a few sacrifices along the way and we had to change a lot of the scenes. However, I feel like these changes added so much to our film. Even with that being said, not everything is done. We still need to make final decisions for what we’re going to keep. We also need to make sure that we picked the right music for the atmosphere we want to create. Kaylees going to start editin

Some things don’t go our way :(

  Hey cuties! Music was something really important for our film. I wanted to use my favorite artists, Violent Viras, music so I sent her an email. I sent this email December 20th and at the time of writing this, February 19th, I still haven’t gotten a response so I wont be able to use her music. It honestly is really sad because I was super excited. But even with that being lost, the film will still be wonderful. It does suck though. I really thought her music could add so much to the film. She’s been my favorite artist for so long and I knew the second I heard I had to have music in the film, that I wanted it to be Vira’s music. Because of this, I have to search for new music to use. I have been searching YouTube up and down and it’s not right. I know what I want and YouTube is great. There’s so much different royalty free content. But it’s just not what I want. Even with that being said, I know I’ll find something. I know that there will be music that makes me feel how I wanted the f

FILMING DAYYYYY! - Production Blog

Hey cuties! So today we filmed our blogs! It was honestly a really fun process. So I am the director and I filmed everything so I had to make sure everything was just right. We started by meeting at Greg’s house, which is where we filmed. Greg, Prince (our other actor), and I all made sure everything was set up how I wanted and then they got into positions. I kept having to refilm the very first scene because it wasn’t perfectly to my liking. I wanted to show the character without having their face in it just yet. But after all that we ended up having a really simple film day. There wasn’t much that we had to do to make it look good. There was a little bit of frustration only because Greg has a little sister and she wanted to be around us while film. But it was okay because she was like my little sidekick. After filming I sent the videos to Kaylee so she could start the process of editing. That’s all for today. Bye lovelies!

It’s like music to my ears! - Music Blog

Hey cuties! The process of selecting the music for our film’s introduction is a fun yet hard task that sets the tone for the entire film. It all begins with immersing myself in the story, understanding its nuances, and envisioning how music can enhance the narrative. With each project, I strive to evoke emotions, captivate audiences, and create a memorable audiovisual journey. Collaboration is essential as my team and I are working very hard to figure things out. Experimentation is key as my team and I try to figure out what it is that we want the music to say exactly. As the director, I trust my instincts and rely on intuition to guide me through the creative process, knowing that the right musical choice can make all the difference. Each sound we consider carries its own unique energy. Ultimately, the goal is to create a symbiotic relationship between music and storytelling, where each complements and enhances the other in perfect harmony. That’s all for today. Bye lovelies!

We need to figure out exactly what we’re gonna do! (Pre-production) - Production Blog

  Hey cuties! I’m very excited to start filming. I already chose our location. I planned out what we wanted to do and today I made sure the location was perfect for the atmosphere I wanted to create. Each element of production design has been meticulously planned, from the set dressing to the props, ensuring that every detail aligns with the vision of the script. I’m also trying to figure out what I want the characters to wear, I haven’t chosen exactly what the vibe of the costumes will be. I started filming some of the scenes so far just to see what angles I want to do and I think I’ve decided how I am going to film. Since sound is so crucial for our video, Kaylee has been testing out the best way to show what I’m going for. Every sound that we allow will be carefully chosen as to show the feelings I would like to convey. I’ve also been playing with lighting as it helps mirror the themes that are being explored in our script. The filming will be taken place February 16th and I know it
