Hello World, My final task is finally done!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Until next time!!! Giovanna Pereira

Hello World, Let's get to adding the finishing touches to the film. First, I went straight to the easiest tweak to get it over with, the spooky scene. Like I mentioned before, my mom said that it was too fast, so I slowed it down a bit. Rather than having the speed at 1.2x, I brought it down to 1.1x. By adjusting it the slightest bit, it made it better to notice and see spooky yet not interfere with the length of the video. Next, I went through and found every scene that included dialogue. One of the feedback that I received was that the music was too loud whoever the characters were talking. So, I lowered the volume a bit for every scene that involved talking. This took a while because only a small amount of scenes had no audio or conversation, meaning I had to edit the volume on post of the scenes. This process wasn't too bad but it took a good chunk of time, but the worst was yet to come. Fixing the timing of the titles was definitely the most time consuming adjustment I had

Hello World, It's time for feedback. I first went to my parents to show them my film and get their opinions of it. My mom liked it a lot, but some things that she said was that the subtitles were going by too fast. Due to the how quick the subtitles appeared and disappeared from the scene, she was barely able to read what was written. Another comment that she had was that the scene where spooky appears in Daniel's room was too fast as well. According to her, she didn't really notice that spooky was in the room due to how fast the scene was. My dad didn't have much to critic about the film other than that he didn't like the transition to the flashback. He said it was too dramatic and it didn't really fit the film. He also suggested that instead of the Giovanna and Spooky facing the same way, we should invert Giovanna's phone call scene to make it look like they are actually talking to one another. That was the only feedback that they had about the film. When

Hello World, I am reaching the end of the editing for my film "Charlie". The time has finally come... time to crunch down on the length of my film. Like I mentioned in my earlier blog, the film is currently 4 minutes long and the time limit is 2. I have no idea why this always happens to me, I had the same problem in my last project. I think it's because I like to elaborate and be very detailed when making my videos, it always screws me over. In my last project, I sped up a couple of the scene to be able to fit the time limit. For this project I decided to do the same thing but rather than speeding up only a couple of scenes, I sped all of them up to 1.2x. I felt like this speed was the best one because it doesn't seem like the videos are faster than they were originally. For a few of the scenes that did have much dialogue or seemed like they could be sped up a bit more, I raised them a bit more to 1.3x. Once that cut the time down quite a bit, I started to remove som

Hello World, Back to editing the titles. I had already written most of them yesterday, so there wasn't much to finish today concerning the titles. I continued to finish them, place them in the correct spots, and order in the film. Since there weren't many people who participated in the production of the film, there weren't many names that needed to be written. Due to this, I was able to just copy and paste the names as many times as needed depending on how many titles they are associated with. Another thing I had to do was match the timing of each individual title so they wouldn't be on the screen for a longer or shorter amount of time than others. Once those were finally complete, I switched over to the effects and transitions part of the editing process. When working on the film, I decided to change my mind on a couple of things regarding the beginning and final transitions. I originally planned on using the dissolving effect at the end but now I feel like not having

 Hello World, We finally filmed everything we needed for the final task!!! Now, I get to fully edit the film and finish. I've inserted the last 3 scenes that were missing into the timeline in CapCut. But guess what... IT'S TOO LONG. The final task is supposed to be a maximum of 2 minutes long, however, with all the scenes it is currently 4 minutes long.  I felt like fixing the movie's length later so I skipped to the titles. I have never added titles to a video before, so this process was new to me. The text button was easy to find but inputting the text was a lot more complicated than I expected. I first began by creating the title "CHARLIE" and it was by far the title I had the most fun making. When I began playing around with the colors and transitions, I had it fade into the screen and change colors. When the title first appeared it was white and once the music began getting heavier, it would turn red right before the movie actually began. However, when I was
