Hello World,

It's officially time to start the editing process of my final task!!! I began this process by gathering all of our final shots and put them into an album to make it easier to upload them into the editing app that I would be using. Figuring out what I was going to use to edit the final task wasn't difficult at all. In the past, I've used CapCut to edit both videos and pictures, so I found it best to use what I know works. Another perk about using CapCut is that since I've used it before, I'll be able to breeze through editing and it won't take much time as in previous projects. I then began to upload everything into CapCut and organizing them as they were written/drawn in the storyboard. Something that I had to do with every shot was shorten how long it was. The main reason for this was because when we were filming, we began recording a couple of seconds before the actors started to say their lines so the scene could come out more natural. I shortened the shots in my photos library before uploading them onto CapCut just to make it easier on my part when putting the clips together. After shortening everything, I began to upload all of the shots into the CapCut app. Once I put everything in order, I had to go through the shots we took and see which ones we had to remove the audio from. This didn’t take much time because we checked off on our storyboard sheet which scenes we had to edit out the audio. Since we weren’t able to film all of the shots that we needed to complete our film, I left a couple of gaps in the timeline so I can easily insert those shots. We haven’t chosen our song yet, so I skipped that part of the editing until our group decides which one we will use. However, I did play around with some of the effects. An effect that I am for sure including in the film is dissolving. I placed the dissolve effect on the last scene so it could signal the end of the film. I also included a fade effect, specifically in the first shot so we could ease into the film. Although I haven’t done much editing to the project, I have a good feeling that it’s going to turn out really good!!! I’m excited to see how it will turn out in the end. 
Until next time!!!!!

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 ...
