Today is an exciting day for me as I am going to work on the editing process of my short film. I am nervous but also eager to see the final product come to life. First, I compiled and organized all of the scenes I had downloaded onto my computer. Downloading the files onto my computer took a while in itself. It took a couple of hours because of my many technical difficulties while downloading them. My computer would spit out errors at me whenever I tried to download certain scenes, but eventually, I figured out a way to make it work, though I still don't know what I did. After that, I spent an hour carefully organizing the footage into folders based on the location. I knew this would make finding the scenes I needed later on easier. I made sure to label each folder with a clear and concise name to make navigating through them more manageable. Once all the scenes were downloaded and organized, I opened my vid...
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. First, I set up the starting scene which included a table where Django and Marty sit in a dark room. Unfortunately, we ended up having to film this later because there was sunlight beaming into the room not giving us the lighting we wanted. 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...
