Hello, once again blog. This is about editing up the film. Hard work had to be done to ensure it looks good. There was some blurred editing that we had in the film. At first we didn't know why. Nico saw that the editing program was altering the clips automatically. This only happened in darkened scenes. Because of this, some of the shots looked very weird. To fix it, he turned off the setting that was causing it. This did luckily resolve the issue, and we were rid of the behaved blurry vision. Another problem we faced was that the audios were too low. When we tried to increase the volume, other scenes became way too loud. The background audio sounded wrong too in some scenes. It was very annoying and big issue we couldn't ignore. Finally, we decided that we bring down all of the sounds to one level. This used a particular mono-sound setting in the app. This actually seemed to fix things overall. This was basically the largest issue we found in the final editing. Thankfully, it ...

  Hello blog, it's Tom here. We have finally finished shooting! In fact, we've shot several makeup scenes already. Everything is starting to fit together very nicely.  Today has been filled with editing, which was quite long and tiring. First of all, we had to transfer all the footage to an editing program. We will be using Adobe since Nico's mom has it for her work. Luckily enough, it has already been paid for before. Usually, it is pretty expensive, and it is nice that we can use it without having to pay for it. Once we managed to insert all the footage in, we just began to put the clips in order and cut the unnecessary little bits. Then, we had to write a text, simply the title, which took a while longer than expected. Some transitions were particularly difficult to get smooth. We had to adjust them over and over. We tried a couple of effects that we thought would highlight certain scenes. The work was tiring, but seeing the film come together made it all worthwhile. I r...

Hello blog. Today we wanted to start editing. We ran into and issue before we could even start though. We had missed a couple clips. We wanted to just leave them out initially. We felt they were needed for the final product. We needed to clear our schedules first though. Nico had SAT studying and Nat had work. They had to make arrangement to get out of them. It took some time but we could now get the parts we needed. After we would be able to edit. This would leave us very close to being done for the video. We started by heading to Nico's house one last time. We needed a ride but luckily Benjamin had his car and was able to take us all in it. We started filming after setting up all or equipment again. We reviewed the scenes we needed. They weren't huge scenes but needed to show the after-effects of the crash. We finished late in the afternoon and began packing up. There was a lot of clean-up needed to leave Nico's house ready. Once done we left with everything and Ben dropp...

Hello blog. Today we continued filming our video. We already got a considerable amount of work done. Yester day we started with the filming before the crash. This included a decent amount of scenes. One was the Office scene, which we did in Nico's house. We also filmed some driving scenes as we needed to have both cars when we did it. We completed those films, and started planning for today. We wanted to film the scenes for the rest of the movie and get it over with. Doing this would allow us more time for editing. We needed one bigger scene and some other side parts. The biggest thing was the crash. Without crashing, we needed to recreate a realistic crash between the office worker and partyer roles. We wanted to accomplish this through a bit of practical effects and lots of editing. We first got a background video to overlap the cars onto. We then got both cars driving to the same space. We did them individually. This would allows us to later combine clips with the editing softwa...

Hi blog. Today we started filming. We wanted to mostly focus on a set of scenes. The scenes were leading up to the crash. There were quite a lot of these. We bean in the office. As set before, this was inside Nico's house. He has a nice office and lots of supplies. The supplies could be used as props for the film. We also had all necessary safety being within his home. When we started filming, we had an issue though. The lighting inside the office wasn't the right brightness for what we wanted. It was a little too cool and bright, while we needed a bit of a darker mood. We ended up with an idea. We decided to use a phone camera instead to create the illusion of a moodier room. This helped with the atmosphere significantly. After this we wanted to do some of the driving scenes. The car we need was Nico's and Ben's for each character. We used these as they fit the characters personalities more closely in our story. We had all the safety on hand and Nico's parents ther...
