Onto Editing!

 To start the editing process we all looked through the clips we filmed and chose the ones to use. Then Macy sent Noura all of the chosen videos so she could edit them. She put them into iMovie and roughly spliced them all together before going back to make it smooth. She also had to cut and shorten scenes to meet the time requirement. One of these scenes was the second question we asked to the Charlie Charlie game we play. 

 Once she had that done she moved onto adding the required titles. Noura moved to the app Splice to do this. For these we all had to look through the available fonts and colors and decide together which one to use. We eventually decided on a font called "Monster". For the color we chose red, white, and black. Now, making sure they were in the right order we decided where the titles would go. We had certain times that we made sure to leave space for the titles while filming, so we started with those. One of these paces was on the floor after we got up to lay Charlie Charlie. 

Once they were all added Macy and I reviewed the film. Macy had some corrections on the scoring and song choice. She thought we should use a Beabadoobee song throughout the beginning of the film. We all agreed so Noura added it in. I had one comment about how there should be creepy music on the suspenseful scenes. Everyone agreed again and then we had the final product!

We are done with the editing and reviewing.

A Morning of Work

     Once we got to Macy's house, figured out the changes we needed to make, and found all of our props, we officially started the filming process. We started in the morning by going around to all of the rooms we were going to film and planned how it would work. We started in Macy's room and planned how we would film her waking up and getting ready. The main character started in her bed so Macy laid down in her bed so Noura and I could get a realistic view. We then discussed ways to start the music video. We knew that we wanted a close up on Macy's face for the first line of the song but didn't know how to get there. Noura and I tried a couple of different options, first we thought about coming in from the door of her room and slowly closing in, but we decided against it. We tried zooming slowly from the corner of the room, but it just looked unnatural and plain. We then came up with the idea to slowly push in from a high angle down towards her face. This worked well fo...

Our Genre of Choice

Image
Hey there! My group and I all intensely researched multiple genres to decide which would be the best to use. After carful consideration my group narrowed in down to the genres comedy, drama, and thriller. We then finally came to the conclusion that the drama genre would best suit our film idea. The other genres for example comedy would not work as well as it very hard to connect both intense drama and suspense with laughter and joy. The point in our film is to shock our audience with the plot twist and keep a high emotional intensity. Thriller is in also not the ideal genre as there is not an intent to scare the audience but more to spike emotions. We are also still high-school students with a limited budget and no movie equipment. This makes it very hard to do movies like thriller and keep them looking somewhat realistic. The unsuspecting plot twist found at the end of our film also inspired the pick of the drama genre. Both the thriller and comedy genres don’t get you ready for the p...
