Editing blog: Editing first few videos

Image
I have started to edit the videos for my opening sequence together after I got the 2/3 of the videos I needed for my opening sequence. All of these videos were filmed at night with the assistance of my mom. I would usually plan to record these on a Saturday, or if not Saturday then a Sunday. All of these videos for my opening sequence are going to be added to an album. I am going to use Capcut to edit my videos together and add music. My opening sequence has two characters: Jack and The hooded figure. The hooded figure wears a raincoat and green pants and Jack wears a orange shirt and blue jeans. Jack uses a flashlight and the hooded figure uses a shovel. I am going to be Jack and the hooded figure because I am working on this project mostly alone. My mom is helping me record these video clips for the opening sequence. I'll also have to choose some music to choose for my opening sequence. The music I'll choose, will be creepy and make people feel uneasy. I still haven't mad

Filming blog: 3rd recording session schedule

 Before I wasn't able to record on February 24 or 25, for different reasons but I already have an idea of when I'll continue recording. On Friday, February 23 I planned on recording the last of videos on the day after wards. On that Saturday, I decided to record after my shift at work. On the 24 of February, I didn't record for my opening sequence because I was tired after work. Afterward I decided to record on February 25, but my mom was busy that night I decided to record. On February 25, I was originally going to record on this date but my mom stayed out late, so she couldn't help me record. I had to reschedule my record date for the last few videos to March 2. This recording session is going to happen at night because of the setting of my film. If, anything happens, I'll reschedule to the Sunday after that day to record at night. Once my Mom and I finish recording, She'll send the videos to me for review and selection. On the night of the recording I am goin

 I finally got about a 3rd of my recording done for my opening sequence over most of February. I was planning on getting the last third done last Saturday but was tired. I planned on getting the recording done the next day after those plans fell through, but my mom went out late that day, which meant I couldn't record that day. After this I realized I had to reschedule to this week's Saturday to continue recording. My opening sequence has two characters: Jack and The hooded figure. The hooded figure wears a raincoat and green pants and Jack wears a orange shirt and blue jeans. Jack uses a flashlight and the hooded figure uses a shovel. I am going to be Jack and the hooded figure because I am working on this project mostly alone. My mom is helping me record these video clips for the opening sequence. I also planned on doing the editing for my video after I am done recording all of my clips. After we are done with recording these clips for my opening sequence I will chose the one

 I plan like usual to get my filming done on a Saturday, after my shift at my job. Also, usually if I am not able to do it on Saturday, I will reschedule to a day after that Saturday, or some other day afterwards where my mom and I aren't busy. My mom will help me record as usual on Saturday or whenever she is available. She also is very helpful in making my opening scene look pretty good. I have two characters for my opening scene, which are Jack(the protagonist) and The hooded figure(The antagonist. Jack's clothing consisted of an orange shirt and blue jeans, and the hooded figure wore a Black raincoat and green shorts. Jack's prop was a flashlight and the hooded figure had a shovel as his prop. The recording has to happen at night because my scene occured at night. The opening scene is going to be recorded in my backyard because I decided for that to be my location.  I would have recorded for Feb 24, Saturday but I felt tired and didn't want to record after work.

Filming Blog: Second Recording session

 The second recording session for my opening sequence for final task assignment was originally supposed to be recorded Feb 17, 2024. After my I was done with work was when this recording should've been done. The video recording session ended up getting pushed back for a few reasons. My mom was originally going to help me on Feb 17, 2024, but she was tired that night from work and I also was pretty tired as well. Since my mom and I were both tired we decided it would be best to work on the recordings the next day.  It turns out that the next day would be full of rain from sun up till sunset. After the rain, I realized it wouldn't good to be recording in the backyard after the rain. This was because after the rain stopped the whole backyard was soaked so I wouldn't be able to record all the scenes there that day. So my mom and I rescheduled the date for recording again to the Monday after the Sunday we originally planned to record on. So on Monday, I started to plan in my hea

 I started to plan on my recording starting Saturday Feb 17, because I didn't want to wait till the last minute to do planning for it. This recording session was going to happen after I was done with my shift at work. After, I finished my work, I was going to get my clothes, and props used for the recording. The clothes I was going to use were a dark black raincoat, long jeans, orange shirt and short blue jeans. My props for this video are a flashlight and a shovel.  This clothing I chose because of the genre of my opening sequence, which is thriller. I also chose a flashlight and shovel for the same reason. Just like the first recording session I will be looking off of my storyboard to help me with the filming process. Same as last time as well my mom will be helping me record. She also is there to help with giving me advice while we're recording. On Saturday Feb 17, I ended up not recording on that day because at night my mom was tired. Also, I also was tired when I came home

Filming Blog: first Recording session

 I decided to start recording some scenes after I got off from work, which was at night. I chose night time to record because I thought it fit better with the genre of my film. After work once I got home, I started to prepare to record by getting my costume and props ready. I dressed In an orange shirt and blue jeans for the main character I would be portraying for the first few scenes. The prop that I used was a flashlight because of most of the scenes happening at night.  On the night of Saturday, feb 10 I got my mom to help me set up for filming. I got my clothes and my prop ready to record, but some problems arose when filming. Me and my mom had a little bit of communication issues. For example, when she was filming me,  and I asked her to film an over the shoulder shot and when we filmed it it didn't look right the first time. So after this, we re-recorded that scene a few more times because in the first take my mom recorded too much of my shoulder. The next few times we recor

 On Febuary 10, friday I was planning for the recording I was going to do with my mom during the night. This recording was for my opening sequence of my thriller movie. I already had my storyboard completed before planning to record the first few scenes of the opening sequence. I planned on using it as a guide for what I was going to record. I was planning in my head how I would schedule the different things I have to do throughout the day.  Once Saturday started I was dreading to record the first third of my recording, because I thought I'd look bad. To be honest I was worrying about this all week til Friday. On Friday Feb 9, I was thinking about recording the opening sequence the next day after work with my mom at night. I would've asked my brother but he has other things to do. After planning when on Saturday I was going to record I, needed to figure out what clothes/costumes I would wear. For Saturday night, while recording the I decided the main character would wear a oran
