Getting Everything Ready

Hey guys for this blog I'll be focusing on the editing process for this film. To begin with I want to tell you a little of everything before we started editing the film and some problems that came with it. So originally all of our footage on the first day was filmed on Ben's iPhone. We decided this was the best option because he had the best phone and we didnt have our cameras with us on that day. Danniella decided it would be best to put all the footage into a cloud. It worked out in our benefit because everyone could access it and organize it for editing. On our second day of filming we had access to a camera so we put all of our footage onto an SD card that I supplied. When we finished that day we gave the SD card to Daniellla. She can put it into the drive so we can use it from there. On the third day of filming we also filmed with a camera and put the footage on an SD card. The same process was repeated. All the footage was put into the drive for easy access. Everything up to here was pretty easy. The only main problem rose when trying to extract the footage from the drive. The drive we were using required that we download each video individually instead of just pulling from the actual cloud. After a little  bit of research I had to download a shortcut of the drive on to my computer. This allowed me to access it from the editing software. We decided to use Adobe Premeire Pro because I was already very familiar with the software and so was Danniella. Not being able to pay the subscription for the software Danniella created an account to get a free week with the software. That's all for this blog, I'll see you in the next one where I talk about the first day of editing the film.

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
