All About my Group

     Today I will be talking about my fellow group members I chose to work with for this project. My group members are Katie Weiss and Christian Bundalevski. I chose to work with them because I know they are hard-working and diligent. I also am close friends with both of them and hope for it to stay like that.

    Christian is a very creative dude who always completes his work on time. We also have known each other for a long time. I met him in 6th grade, and we coincidently ended up attending the same high school. Since then, we have hung out and become good friends. We also work together on other projects and work well. 

    As for Katie, we are just in high school this year. We have gotten along well so far. Katie is one of the most intelligent people I know and works very hard. She is in many advanced classes and always strives to be the best. She also is very creative with ideas and likes to stay on task. Which would be suitable for our group.

    Overall, I hope that this year I will continue to learn and improve my film skills. I also expect this project to go well because the chemistry of my group is good. As we are creative, hard-working, and task-focused. It is also very fortunate that I could group up with people I am friends with already, as it will make the icebreaker phase easier to get through. We also won't have to bother with getting used to each other.

Pitching Some Ideas!

Image
Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.”      We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen.  Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”      We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's h...

Production: Fixing it up!

Image
    Today my partners and I wanted to make changes to the editing based off of our film review. So we joined a discord call right after school and started saying what each of the people we reviewed said.     Christians' parents said that the scenes could have looked more professional and less like we were messing around filming. Since we are only editing today I can't fix that so I left it till later. His parents also said that we should make the film brighter as details like the costume and landscape were hard to see. So I quickly fixed it by making it brighter so everything could be seen well.     Alexs' sister told him that the camera work could have looked smoother and that there was some shakiness seen when she watched it. We know that this would be a problem. So we want to re-film those few scenes as soon as possible.     I then told my groupmates what my sister and mom said about the film. My sister said that the effects looked weird and sh...

Editing Blog: Continuing the pro

Image
     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...
