As I opened up Davinci Resolve, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension wash over me. I knew that we had a lot of work to do on our short film and that the editing process could be a challenging and time-consuming one. But as I located our project file and began sorting through the footage, I became increasingly immersed in the story we were trying to tell. However, as I worked my way through the different shots and scenes, I quickly realized that some of them needed to be stronger. In particular, I noticed that some of the shots needed proper lighting, which made it challenging to capture the intended mood and atmosphere. This realization made me appreciate the importance of lighting in filmmaking, as it can truly make or break a scene. Because of this, I had to spend a lot of extra time editing those particular shots to try and enhance the lighting and create a more compelling visual experience for the audience. I exp...
Today I am starting the filming process. The day started with me confirming everyone could make it. I texted a group chat I had previously made to connect with everyone, saying "Can everyone make it today? Remember to get there at 8 am". To which everyone replied with a similar response to "yes." I proceeded to get ready and made sure to be early as I was one of the main actors and needed to assist in setting up.

We decided to film it later that night so the lighting would better fit our expectations. So we carried on chronologically filming our scenes to make it simple for us to keep track of where we were in the filming process. Filming the house scouting scenes was fun, especially when I (Django) ha...
Today, my groupmates and I have a scheduled meeting to discuss re-planning our schedule for our film project. We realized that one of our filming dates clashed with Katie's family trip. Hence, we need to discuss and find a new suitable date for everyone to shoot. To begin with, we decided to inquire from each group member about their availability to shoot. After a discussion, we agreed that March 3rd would be the best day to shoot, as we have no school the next day, and we could shoot till late if required for night scenes. The ideal time to arrive would be early in the morning at Katie's house. We decided on a specific time of 8:30 am, keeping in mind that anyone who might run late could still join us before filming. Next, I reached out to the other actors who were supposed to be a part of the shoot and ensured their availability. I also contacted my friend, Logan, asking him to lend us his drone camera to ...
