Production Blog - Final Changes

Image
Yesterday we got some good feed back from another group. Connors group gave us a lot of constructive ideas on what to improve on our video. We decided to make our final changes as soon as possible. Mostly to not forget what they told us yesterday. We needed to see what changes we could make that would make our video more entertaining yet professional. We started looking back at the feedback. One thing they said was about the music. We went back and thought about how to fix the disconnect. We decided on just switching the music to something that fit better. Once we did that, it improved immensely. All we had to do was listen to the feedback and our video was much more entertaining. The audience will likely enjoy it more after the change. Another suggestion was actually a big problem we hadn't noticed. luckily they caught it . If they hadn't the video would have been much less professional. The issue was that the software made the video buggy. We had to go in and find the issue.

Production Blog - Movie Review

  Hello everyone. I have good news. We finally finished our video. Now that we finished though, we wanted to see something. We wanted to know how someone else saw it. We wanted to show it to someone in our class as they have experience like us. We had to find somebody, which was the biggest struggle. I asked around my class but nobody really wanted to do it. I had to go to a friend I remembered was in another period. His name is Connor. Him and his group decided they could review our video if we reviewed theirs. Their group gave us a lot of constructive feedback. Some of that feedback was about our sound design. We had a used some royalty free music we decided on beforehand. Their group told us it didn't fit well enough so we had two choices. One was to change the way we used the music to better fit what happens in the video. The other way was to just change the music to one that fits better. We wanted to decide tomorrow when we would fix all the problems at once. Another issue the

Production Blog - Choosing the Main Music

We have done most of the editing but we had a big problem. We hadn't yet chosen the music we would overlay on most of our video. We though we had already found one but we had a big issue with that one. We could not get the licensing for it. We needed to choose another song to finish the editing process. We began scouring the internet for a song that hit a couple criteria. Firstly we needed it to fit the overall feeling of our film. We also needed for it to be copyright free. We looked for a while together but came up with nothing. Eventually we split up to look more efficiently. After another while of looking I had found something. A YouTube channel by the name of Cold Cinema. they uploaded tons of uncopyrighted music. I looked through their music for a while but it was still hard to find something that fit our theme. I finally found one that fit though. It is called Bergen and fits really well with our video. I showed the song to the rest of our group. They agreed that it fit well

Production Blog - Continuing to Edit

Today we gathered to continue editing. Blake had sorted the clips already. Despite tech issues, we persisted. We found a workaround. As we searched the software, we discovered new features. Each team member contributed something. Creative decisions were debated a lot. The narrative gradually took shape. We grew more confident with each edit. We persevered. Despite frustration, we pressed on. Progress was significant by the end of the day. Renewed, we committed to seeing it through. The anticipation lingered. Each day brought us closer to our goal. Our dedication to the film remained. The process continued with each member contributing ideas. We faced challenges, but our teamwork prevailed. Adjustments were made based on collective intuition. A sense of prime of our work so far fueled our enthusiasm. Leaving today, we were one step closer to realizing our vision. Anticipation grew for the finished product, knowing that our shared effort would soon be finished. With a commitment to doing

Production blog - Starting to Edit

Today we wanted to start with the editing. We have already recorded all the scenes but we needed the clips. Most of them were on Nico's phone. We had transfer them but we were having some issues. We had no way to transfer them. We tried many ways but were having no luck. We eventually tried Google to transfer. We had to fiddle with it a bit but it finally worked. We were able to transfer it to everyone in our group. The only one who really needed it was Blake though. Since the beginning we agreed that Blake would do most of the process. The others, me included, would just help out. The way we decided to help was by calling and giving advice on the editing process. We first helped Blake with downloading it. Nicolas had to send it to him then tell him where to find it. It was a bit confusing but we got to it. We then put them all into CapCut. We decided on CapCut since it was not difficult and Blake knew it best. We decided that was enough for one day at least. We want to try to fini
