Production Editing Finished

 Hey, blog. As said in my last blog, i mentioned I was finishing up editing for our film. I had the goal of embedding our directed-by and Produced title slides to look like it is in the film. I started by having the directed by title on the side of Sarah's building in the first shot. Finding out how to embed text was not the hard part. The hard part was finding frames to embed the text, and it look like it is apart of the movie in some way without the camera moving and the text moving with it. It was the sole driver for the places I chose to put the credits. I also added sound to the film. You may recall in a previous blog, I contacted Universal Music for permission to use love fools in a song; UMC never got back to us after their first email. Which was obviously a bummer. It would have been cool to use a classic like that in our film. Thankfully we used our backup plan for royalty-free music instead. In order to do so I went on youtube and searched for royalty-free romance songs and an array of songs showed. I spend about 45 minutes listening to music before I found the song I felt fit right with our film. We also changed the intended name of our film. We were going to use the name Lost Love, But Sarah opted for a name we all felt was better. The name Friends to Forever was used instead (genius, I know). All in all, I am disappointed that I wasn't able to embed the text in a more appealing way. The "produced by" sequence is in the white lining of the parking lot. I originally intended to put it in the elevator but like I said embedded text and moving cameras don't seem to go hand and hand on an editing software like capcut. Overall I am proud of the final product and the film was very fun to make. I'm glad I could document the journey once again.

Critical reflection of In the shadows

In  the Shadows is a short horror thriller film that explores the vulnerability of young women in isolated spaces.   It follows Sarah, a seemingly normal young woman, going through a normal morning routine, who becomes the target of a sinister stalker during her nighttime jog.

Massive mistake rescheduling needed

Image
 Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...
