Production Blog: Peer Review

 Hey guys and welcome back to our blog! In my previous blogs, you heard that I filmed. Then, you heard about me editing my short film on CapCut. Next, you heard how I had to re-film and had to cut out some scenes. Today, you are going to hear about peer- reviewing. What this means is I got my friends to look at our movie. When they look at my short filmed, I asked them to give their thoughts both positive and negative. In total I got two people to peer review my short film and I'm going to tell you about that. So, first let's talk about things that were said about the titles. First,  most really were in love with the titles and they thought that the titles matched the genre perfectly.  They also thought that the titles were really unique and something they haven't seen while still being "on genre" and they liked the effects matching the movie title . But, while that was said from one of my friends there was another one of my friends who had an opposing view. That friend thought that the titles didn't match the genre. They said that while it had that blood dripping aspect to it, it didn't really give off scary vibes. They thought that it was like horror genre but made for children and thought it looked cute more than scary. I decided to keep this in because my group-mate and I ultimately liked it. One of them thought that there were too many titles. They thought that while they understood it was an opening scene the titles seemed way too back to back. They also thought that I needed to make the amber alert part "more clear" but other than that everything else was positive. Thank you guys for reading my blog, be back the next time when I make final re-edits.

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
