 Welcome back. During the final edits of the commercial, this is how things went. My group and I realized that the editing software called Vimeo did not suit our needs for editing. I had to edit things like transitions and be able to fit each clip into the video to fit transitions in and not miss anything while also fitting the commercial time requirement. We transitioned to editing on the editing software called Capcut. I was trying to find an editing software thats free and easy to use. I realized Capcut is the best for our commercial in what I want to put in it and add to it. Capcut provides me music, transitions, screens, overlapping videos and much more. During editing, the biggest difficulty was making sure that the commercial fit the strict 27-30 second time requirement. At first, the commercial was 40 seconds long. I had to completely remove some clips I thought were not necessary for the point trying to be proven in this commercial. I also had to adjust the length of some clips and those that were least important I made smaller and those that were more important for was we were advertising I made longest. I used a dissolving transition for when Omnia and I took a bite out of the donut looking completely unready for the day to looking completely ready to leave for school after taking a bite of the donut. During editing, I was thinking of what sound effects could be used to fit the tone and mood of the commercial. The sound effect of a sparkly shining sound was added with the dissolve transition to create a understanding that Omnia and I were ready for school only after taking a but of Dunkin's Donuts. The Final product of the commercial completely edited was 28 seconds. We are still deciding if we want to add background music to the whole commercial. Overall, did not face any major problems editing or filming. Talk soon!

 Hello again! There has been a few changes in the filming process. As you know, the filming date for this project is Thursday, March 16, 2023. Some things have changed with the location of filming this project. This project was supposed to be filmed at my dads new and very big modern house that we are moving into in a couple of months. Things changed because my dad is renting out that house to different people before we move in. A couple booked to stay in the house starting today, Tuesday, March 14 all the way through Tuesday, March 28. This had me thinking because the people renting out the house will be there on the date that my group was going to film. The projects deadline is coming up quickly and I knew that my group could not wait two whole weeks before we film so I decided to improvise. I came up with the idea that instead the final task will be filmed at the current house my dad and I are in. This house is smaller but still has most of the necessities that will be needed. T...

Production Blog- Finally Finished Filming

 Hello and welcome back blog!! I have not updated you in a little while. The group and I had been planning on what day to film and finally it was decided that today would be the day. I have already discussed that everyone has super busy lives and it is a little hard to come up for filming days. Today was the last and final day of filming. It is Monday, March 11 and right when me and my group got out of school at 2:40, we went straight to my house in order to regroup and discuss further scenes that needed to be filmed. After the group got to my house, filming started shortly after. First, I discovered that the amber alert scene needed to be filmed and that was done by changing contact names to the names of the girls in the short films and a voiceover affect of the amber alert saying the name of the girl who is missing. Then, a couple scenes of Ellie trying to call Olivia in the short film and crying, needed to be filmed. After about an hour of completing these scenes, it was then ti...

Production Blog- Getting things done

 Hello and welcome back blog!!! I am really sad because me and my group were supposed to film on Sunday, February 25. I had work from 9-5 that day but I was planning on going over to Jenna’s after work that day, so was the rest of the group. Unfortunately, Jenna came down with a really bad illness that prevented her from being able to film. Now, me and the group need to come up with a new filming day. Jenna has not been to school in a couple of days because of how sick she is. My group needs to get filming done soon because the short film is going to be due March 15. My group needs to discuss new filming dates but we are thinking of Friday March 1st or Saturday or Sunday. I have almost completed the postcard fully. Carleigh was making the website on Square Space and after she completed the entire site, it asked her to pay in order for her to publish the website for it to be available for the public. This was a bit of a set back because I need the link of the website to create a QR ...
