Reflection 🤔ðŸ’
Hey, guys, I wanted to share my reflection long the project with you guys!
This project was overall one my favorite projects I've done and I really did enjoy it but my group and I had lot's of struggles during this project and it wasn't as easy as we thought it would be, we first started as a group of two which meant two brains to think of ideas but that's where the problem was we had a struggle at first when it came to thinking of original ideas that not only made sense but weren't cliche, once we got our ideas we grew as a group from two members to three which did help a lot cause now we had more ideas. The real struggle once we had our ideas was to meet up and work together on our organization with the project, I realized we all had different schedules to work with and they never matched up, we also had to work with the actor's schedule and that's where the problems began because we were all so busy, Juli had soccer and I had Club activities every day after school. as a team, we never truly measured how much time this project would take us, and yes we had time in school and we used that time to work on the project outline and script but we still had to meet up for filming.
Filming: filming was another issue of ours, finding time to film was hard enough for us and for our actors, we had the ideas but now we needed the time to film and we did try our best to make the time and set up dates but something always came in between. We originally had agreed to film a few days before spring break and continue it during spring break but that never happened I left for competition and as a team, we decided to film the week before spring break once I came back but then the whole issue with COVID-19 happened, which put us in a difficult position due to our parents not wanting us to go outside. We had to change the original idea we had for another one which seemed easy to say but wasn't easy to think, now, we had to think of a whole brand new idea to film while quarantined. Yes, we did find an idea and we worked it out through facetime meetings with each other and we all worked on it non-stop from the outline to the script, to the first draft, and then the final draft.
This project took more time than we had expected especially with the unfortunate events that had happened, I know now that our biggest problem was both time management and communication. We were all so excited to make this project the best of the best, that when it came to working and meeting up for it we had a big problem in our hands. Through this project, I've learned to have big respect for the directors and producers and all of the workers in the film world because it's not as easy as it seems and this project had taught me all of that and more.
I'm proud of how our final turned out and even under these circumstances we still did our best to make it all work out even during the frustrating moments.

New music
Hey, guys, there's only a few days left until I have to turn in my project and right now we are looking for music to add to our final project.
we found one song that represents our project perfectly it's called revelations by Tristan Barton and we made sure the song was non-copy right in order to use it and we decided to the music only in specific parts of the film in order to create more of the thrill we want to create within the film.
it wasn't easy finding the song we looked through several songs who almost made but they felt like they weren't good enough
some of the websites we used were:
https://app.hellothematic.com/browse-music
https://artlist.io/lp/Royalty-Free-Music-For-Video?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2072562155&utm_content=76462939917&utm_term=noncopyrighted%20music&keyword=noncopyrighted%20music&ad=372516996470&matchtype=e&device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-Mr0BRDyARIsAKEFbed1_SDhHF5cf4J5GAsQAjxrutDYPoJq7PVgBR26p_X-jGQxKgyDbigaAiFXEALw_wcB

these three websites were used to find music that matched our film but only in the second website we found the right song, all we have to do now is edit it in and we will be done with music and credits, I'm so excited for you to see the final product 😆

Editing Process
Hey, guys wow it's been a long journey with you guys in this whole project and I wanted to talk to you about the editing process we have come a long way and have come across many obstacles during this process.
Right now we are editing our film and let me tell you it isn't easy, placing and editing every shot we took is quite difficult. I have redone the same scenes about at least three times to see what fits better or what looks better. The software I am using is Wevideo I think it's great editing software, I'm still trying to get used to it because it's not my typical editing software but it is simpler than the one I use
when it comes to editing it is the one thing I love the most it's just the whole process of creating something new based on just a few camera shots I love playing with transitions and with changing the order of the shoot to create a new storyline.
there are difficulties with editing tho, it's not always easy placing scenes together because once you do, they might not work out even though you have the idea it might not be the same once you start editing. when I finalize the editing I'm going to place the music and then put the credits and we'll be done. wish me luck guys because anything could change,

Hey guys!
So let's talk script, so far we have somewhat of our script not all but somewhat we are trying to make it with less dialogue but the dialogue is also very important. There are several changes I have made to it, unfortunately, my Wifi stopped working completely yesterday so I could barely work on the scrip. Right now, I'm working on it to see what I can add
Int. Aria's house - night
ARIA walks into her house after walking her dog.
ARIA
Goodnight mom, goodnight dad! I'm heading to bed now.
ARIA's parents ignore her after she says goodnight to them.
ARIA
(annoyed) Goodnight mom, Goodnight dad!
PARENTS respond to ARIA while still looking at the computers
Parents
oh! Goodnight sweetie.
ARIA walk towards her bedroom
So far this is what we have, I know it's not much and that it should be more but it is a work in progress in order for Juli and Val to start filming and hopefully, I can have it done by Monday morning. I'm going to spend most of my Sunday dedication towards this project.
XOXO

The outline
Hey, guys so my group and I finished the online for the scenes that are going to be filmed, most of them are at Juli's house since she is the main character.
First shot: Long shot of Juli’s house at night
- Juli on sidewalk walking dog
- Juli walking inside
- Shot of dog leash on counter
- Shot countershot telling parents that she’s going to bed
- Walks into the room, on phone, lights flickering
- Falls asleep, in dream
- Parents talking on the phone about how they’ve been framed, a man comes up with a knife behind them
- Juli wakes up abruptly, walks into her parent’s room to make sure they’re ok
- Shot of parents sleeping
So far this is what we have which we think it's enough but we will film more in order to have more videos and play around with the edit. Also, quarantine has been very boring and I'm hoping we go back to school soon, I really wanna see my friends again.
Xoxo

Our Long and Awaited Meeting
Hey, guys, I hope everyone is doing well, so let's get into this blog.
On Thursday, my group and I had a meeting in which we talked about a new film opening and how we are going to work with it during this situation. We all discuss who our actors were the scenes we are doing and how it's going to be done and well, we have it all figured it out by now.
Our actors will be Juli as Aria, Valeri as Kali, and Juli's parents as Aria's parents'. we will be having different shots from different backgrounds which we think will work out. While Juli and Val film, I'm going to be working on the script and finish adding any details to our outline
I'm super excited about this film opening and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product, I'm also working on the script for my CCR question so look forward to that!
