Opening prep

 This week my group and I focused on starting to film. We planned out a date and final details we needed to start filming. We then started by planning out any shots we may not have chosen or want to change in order to best fit the film. We quickly realized having a few days left to plan everything is important. Since we are filming at sunset it is going to be important to have everything done to make sure we can film before it gets too dark. While Ryleigh and Bella and planning details, I have been working on last minute camera angles that we will need when we are filming. We also are working on trying to plan which sounds we want to make while at the park and which ones we will find and edit onto the film.We are aiming to start filming this Sunday and hope to get a good start on our film so we can start the editing process which will take up most of our time. Coordinating all of our schedules has been hard and is still a challenge so we are trying to work around everything.  Ryleigh created a list aiming to help figure out what we need to do and what will be for the editing process. Some of the items are also about things to remember to ensure best quality of the film. This will help us to stay organized and better on task to film fast.

The list includes:

Make sound clips (leaves crunching, birds, trees swaying, wind)

Film multiple clips of the ending phrase

Flashlight or other phones in case it is needed

Use a camera or phone (ensure each has storage)

Shoot multiple times for each scene to have options

Steady hand to keep the camera from shaking when it shouldn't

Mood Board

  On my mood board, I put dark colors, abandoned houses, and woods. This serves as inspiration to our film by showing the mood and setting of our film and how we are planning to accomplish this opening. I worked with a group and we all made our own mood boards but I picked out the woods pictures and color theme of our film.

Editing

  This week, our primary focus was on the editing process, which is one of the most challenging aspects of our project since it could determine our entire film. It was my first time ever editing a major project like this, but youtube and peers helped me with using Canva to put out film together and come to life. We reviewed all the trimmed videos we went through and added sound elements to make sure met our expectations before shifting our attention to transitions. We incorporated various transitions between clips to avoid abrupt cuts, utilizing techniques such as fades, dissolves, and swipes to enhance the film's visual appeal and fluidity. This addition effectively addressed the flow issue we identified last week and was crucial for improving the opening sequence.  Additionally, we established our studio name, BAR Films, which combines the initials of our names: Bella (short for Isabella), Ashley, and Ryleigh. This step lends a sense of professionalism and provides a title f...
