Re-Editing

  I re-filmed last week. Now I have edited all of that into my film. It wasn't a lot because I only re-filmed part of my film, not that much. I had to fix the music so it can align perfectly with the film. My music was royalty-free. So I didn't have to pay for anything or ask for permission. I used two websites. I also used sound effects. The sound effects were also royalty-free. Anyone can use royalty-free music even me. All of it was royalty-free so I don't get in trouble.  I have gotten a lot faster at using the editing software. This is my third project. I know where everything is, so I do everything quicker. I edited my movie the whole class because i tried doing some fancy stuff, more complicated. So it isn't so basic. I made some of the characters get a glitchy effect.
  I also had to fix the title. Since I changed some of the scenes the timing got mixed up. I fixed that and everything was ready. I finished editing and now my project is complete.

Peer Review

  Today we did the peer review. I reviewed a groups  film, and another group reviewed my film. I was a group of one. So I only got feedback from one person. It was still really helpful. I had everything I need for camera angles, movements, and other stuff that was necessary.

 One of the things she really like was the storyline. I used sci-fi.becuase it was someehat easy. Everyone always does horror becuase that's the easiest. I came up with a somewhat original idea that, isn't to close to an already existing movie. I thought it would be hard to understand becuase of how it looked like in the storyboard. But it turned out good when it was done. 

  There were a few problems with my film. I accidentally filmed the tripod when I was filming the bathroom, mirror scene. It was extremely difficult trying not to get the tripod. I couldn't think of anything. I also accidentally recorded some background people, not to noticable. My biggest problem was the middle. The scenes where the car is about hit the girl it was really dark where I was filmingm there was no light. It was already night and it was behind building without light. I could edit it to be brighter but if it doesn't work I have to film earlier in the day, or a place with more light.

  I liked getting my film reviewed by another person. I got to know what was good and what wasn't. Also what I needed to fix.

More Filming also Editing

This was my last weekend to film before we do the peer review. I need to have something finished for that. I also have to edit it. On Saturday I filmed at the park for most of the day. My actress was not coaporating, she kept laughing. So that took me a while The next day on Sunday I went somewhere for the part of the morning then afterwards I decided to change more stuff on my storyboard. I changed the beach scene to something more appropriate. It was getting to full and hard to follow. I already filmed for 3 days and today I edited what I had so far. I added everything I had, edited them, added a few titles, and the music. I filmed at the park again to do any other scenes and at the end of the day I filmed all the night scenes for the dark lighting. I finished filming on sunday. Today Monday I edited everything I filmed over the weekend.

 On Saturday was the only day I could be with my actors. We all met up somewhere and filmed. I had four other people. Three actors and one assistant to help me. I filmed all the ending scenes. Everything went pretty well, and I got stuff done. It was hard for my actors becuase they kept messing up and giggling but I told them how to do it and they tried there hardest.

Second Day of Filming

 Last time i wasn't able to film and today I also can't film. But next class on Wednesday I'm most likely going to film. I have to. I had some issues in some of my work so I have to fix that first. Instead of filming I fixed and reviewed all of my stuff. I even made another blog. I fixed my story board, made a new sound and shooting script. I didn't fill, but I had to do something. I realized there were a lot of mistakes in my storyboardm I fixed them, and now I'm planning for Wednesday. This weekend, the only thing I'm going to do for both days is film. I also have my actors, and when there able to film, the weekend. Wednesday I'm going to film the scenes were only one the main character appears. I had so much to fix in one scene I had to rewrite the whole thing. Here it is. Scene 4.

 It was to make the story a bit more clear, because last time it was all over the place and confusing. Now I am sure I'm ready to film. I made a separate blog and slide presentation for the changes. It was a lot and I thought it needed it own separate blog. Now that this is done, the planning procces and final touches is over. Now I can actually start to film.

Fixing my Mistakes

I have made a little mistakes in my storyboard. Some of the things I did wasn't clear, and i needed to fix that. I also changed part of the story to make it flow better and not so hard to follow. I changed a whole scene in my storyboard. I made a mini sound and shooting script for those scenes. For me to use, and make it more convenient. I explained why i made the changes. Also I changed some scenes to add better camera angles, because it was basic and repetitive. I also added pictures of the actual storyboard with my side notes, of the scenes and other stuff. The pictures are to show what i changed and how much of my storyboard i changed.

Filming

  I'm going to start to film today, but not film. I went to the store and bought all the things I need. Props, some costumes, and extra stuff.  I went to two stores. Walmart and Dollar tree becuase they were the most convenient. I had to go today because tommorow I am going to try to start filming. my first going days are tommorow and the weekend. I got a fake syringe, a toy syringe. I tried getting the most realistic one as possible. Got some cotton and string. I also went to a different store to get fake blood, and face paint. The face paint is to add all the wounds, and other wierd stuff that I can recreate normally. I didn't need anything for decoration of setting, becuase they are basic and generic and don't need more. Any other props I have, like they keys. I took me a while to get all the necessary stuff. At Dollar tree I got the syringe I the toys section, and I also got some white sheets to use a lab coat. I didn't know where I was going to find any of that. But, luckily Dollar tree had that. I set up everything and was ready to go and film in two days. I got all my actors and set up when we were going to meet. If for any reason I won't be able to film tommorow I will have to try to film as much I can on the other day and even on Monday to make sure I don't fall behind, and not have it done in time.

Storyboard planning

Storyboard-
  In this Google slides I have added a picture of my story board. 6 squares in each paper. A scene, and each box is around 2 seconds. Underneath the pictures which are somewhat specific I have added an explanation of what is happening. The camera movements, angles and editing. On the side I have also included any other useful tips and important stuff so I can remember them when I film. This is really useful becuase I'm going to use my storyboard when I'm going to film. I'll use it as a reference so everything comes out as I need it to.
