Production Blog

 Hello and welcome back! It is now time for the editing of my final task! What I have started doing is trying to find music and background sounds to fit into the opening sequence. The part that is bothersome is not being able to use just any music I want in the opening sequence. If there is a certain song I would want but it has lyrics and is owned by a singer, then I would have to personally reach out to the singer and ask for permission to use the song in my film. I do not want to go through the struggle because sometimes the artists never reach back to you. I am going to have to start finding royalty free music meaning that it is not owned by anyone and everyone can use it. I am planning to find this royalty free music on YouTube. I will try to find music that can be suspenseful and creepy. There are several options but they need to be cut down and I need to figure out where each sound clip will go in the opening sequence. Harley, Omnia and I are going to be the main editors and Marlo will also help with thing that I need. The editing platform that is being used for this final task is CapCut. CapCut is perfect for editing because mostly everything is free and the platform is very good when it comes to having to use transitions, cuts, music, etc. It is currently Sunday, April 9, and all editing should be complete by Wednesday, April 12. Talk more about the process next time!

Production Blog- Continuation of filming

 Hello and welcome back blog. It was decided that the new filming date would be Saturday March 2nd. I work from 9-5 that day but I will be going after work to film the night scenes. The only thing I am worried about is when the school scenes are going to be filmed. Very soon, editing and putting together the film needs to begin because it does take a lot of time for this to come together and our deadline is March 15 to have the movie as well as website and postcard completely done. Carleigh is still putting together the website and it is taking a bit longer than I would like because I need the link to make the QR code for my postcard. The plan on Saturday is to film more at night around 6 for it to be dark so we will be able to film the night scenes of the grave as well as when the flashbacks in the short film occur in the dark. Carleigh said that she should be getting the website done in a couple days. Jenna is going to have to start editing the film together once we get a bunch m...

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...

I am so beyond sad that everything is now complete and filming is over. It truly was such a blast to be able to film so much with my friends and make a pretty good short film. I will miss the process of filming this short film. There were many ups and downs but overall the experience in A level media has been a fun process and I am proud of how hardworking me and my group were making this short film.
