Planning blog

Today is March 12, 2020 and my blog is going to be a planning blog. Monday march 16, i’m going to  write a blog about my plans on re shooting. In my blog that’s due on the 19th it’s going to be about my titles. Like the font I want to do and the color. I will also add the transitions of the titles. Like how they are going to be coming in and leaving the screen. I’m going to also add the timing they will be on the screen. March 30th blog will be about my process re shooting. When, where, and what scenes I re shot. April 2nd blog will be about editing. What app i used and the struggles I had while editing. Also details about my film. Like if all the scenes are good like the quality and sound. April 6th i’m going to make sure everything is edited well and good to turn in. I’m also going to be writing the script for my CCR. April 9th turn in the finished film product and the CCR.

Re- edit

Today is 3/9, a blog is due. Today’s blog is about re editing my project. Before the peer review I didn’t completely finish editing. Now i’m working on finishing it. But there are some scenes I may have to re shoot. Like scenes I thought editing could fix. For example scenes with a lot of background noises. Or scenes that are blurry. I also need to get more scenes with the camera angles and movements. I will start working on everything this weekend. My friend is coming over to do some more recording. Hopefully I’ll be done with everything in two weeks. I’ve been working harder to get everything done. I want to start working on the reshoots sunday after getting my volunteer hours. But I may do it saturday, but I may have things to do that aren’t confirmed.

Peer review

Peer review was Tuesday March 3. I had group 17 which was Derek, Jahzenyah and Jada. I believe they are all juniors. I wasn't able to review their project. I was making up a test for my general paper teacher. It was about the book we're reading, Odyssesus. I forgot the peer review was that day. But because I wasn't in class and neither one of them were present the next day when I was there. Their project wasn't reviewed. My project also wasn't reviewed since I wasn't in class and didn't have it the next day. My reviewer was Adrian. He is also a junior. I worked with Adrian on a previous project; the music video project. In that project we choose a song and did a music video of our choice on it. The song we choose was Sad by Xxxtentacion. That music video was a success. I enjoyed working with him and Alexis. I hope this project is just as successful.

Editing blog

I started filming last weekend when I got back from my trip to Tallahassee. I didn’t get to start editing though. But I know how I want to edit it. I want to cut out some unnecessary scenes. I might have to end up filming some more. I need to add the titles and fade in, fade outs, etc. I also need to work on the background sounds and try to raise the actor’s voices. I’m going to make the scenes have a neater transition. I am going also add transitions to the titles. I still haven’t figured out where i’m going to place the titles. Or the color I want to do it.
I’m going to fix some scenes Saturday. So I can completely finish editing once I’m satisfied with all of the clips. I should be done editing by next week. I plan on having everything ready by next week Thursday. If it’s not I’ll get it done next week Sunday.

Filming blog: Why I didn't film

As I mentioned in my other blog, I wasn't able to film last weekend. I wasn't able to film because I had an important meeting to attend. The meeting was going over what I was going to do in Tallahassee. I have to speak in front of 200 representatives about something that matters to me. So I spent the rest of my weekend writing the speech, and revising it. I leave Wednesday the 26th of February. And I return Friday the 28th of February. I'm going to start filming this weekend. I'm also going to try and edit it a little before the peer review. Me and my actors don't have anything to do this weekend so it's a good time to do it.
I want to film Saturday the 29th and depending on the time I finish filming. I may edit that night or Sunday the 1st. If I start filming around 3:00 in the afternoon I may be finished around 7:00. If that is how it happens, I will edit for about an hour and finish editing Sunday. But, i'm not positive that is how it's going to happen. A lot of things can change, like the timing and location of actors. But I have back up plans. If I can't edit the Sunday I will edit the monday, tuesday, or/ and wednesday. I just have to make sure it's done before Thursday the 5th. I will most definitely have my filming done by this weekend.

Filming blog

In this blog I would be talking about how my filming went. But I didn't get the chance to film. I didn't film because my actress couldn't have done it. She couldn't do it that weekend because it was a family member's birthday. So I turned this weekend into my weekend to catch up/ do work. I worked on my blogs. I went back and fixed the ones I did. And I finished the ones I didn't finish. I also took breaks to do other work, like Math and History. I plan on filming next weekend. Me and my actors are available.

I won't be able to do it this weekend because I have an important meeting. The meeting is about girls day at the capital. Girl day at the capital is a group of  girls that go to Tallahassee to learn more about women's history. We'll be going to museums and Colleges. The meeting is so important because it goes over procedures, what we need. It also goes over Chaperones and rest stops and all of that. At the meeting they'll tell us what is expected from us and how we should dress. They'll also let us know the consequences.
But my plans for when I do film is to go to the actors house. First we're going to go over the dialogue. Then we're going to have a test run of how everything should be positioned. Then we are going to shoot multiples times. So if one doesn't look good we have others. Then we are going to take a couple of breaks to eat and get something to drink. And then go over any suggestions they have. After I'm going to go home. I'm going to try and get some editing done.

Planning blog: Dialogue

In this blog I talk about what may be said. I have the music and sounds listed in there too for a reference. This is not how it's going to be exactly but this is just a guide line. This blog goes hand in hand with my script blog. That's how I knew where to put the dialogue for the scenes. There will be more sounds that wasn't mentioned in the power point. Like ambient sounds and sound tracks.
