 Hello World,

Today we will be filming the missing scenes of our film. We weren't able to finish all of the scenes because we ran out of time, everyone's parents began to arrive earlier than we scheduled. Another reason why we weren't able to finish filming everything was because Daniel was having a hard time staying in character, memorizing the lines, and couldn't stop laughing. When I was at home, I filmed the scene where I was talking on the phone with my friend and the scene where Daniel ran into my room. The phone call scene was easy to film and I breezed right through it. For this shot, we filmed it at a tilt because we forgot to include that angle in any of the other shots. The harder scene to film was the one where Daniel ran into my room and told me that the creepy person that is stalking him was outside. It took a while to actually get a good take because he wouldn't stop giggling and would mess up his lines. After a couple of attempts, we were finally able to take an acceptable shot. The last missing scene we had to film was one of my friends on a phone call. Filming this part of the final task was complicated because we originally planned to film it at church after the service ended. However, we completely forgot to film the scene. By the time I remembered that we were supposed to film it, we were already at home. So, we decided to film it the next day in the morning since we had Sunday service. I recorded it the same way as I filmed the phone call scene that I was in, so at a tilt. We thought it would be cool to film both scenes at a tilt to edit it in a cool and different way, our inspiration is a diagonal split screen. We breezed through this scene and it only took us two takes to get what we needed. For her, she barely had to say anything, making it quick and simple. Finally were done with the filming process!!!! I'm so happy that we don't have to deal with worrying and stressing about when and how we will all be able to film.

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 ...
