 Hello welcome back to my blog, Today I am going to walk you through the rest of our editing process. In my last blog I talked about our struggles and how we trimmed our clips. Today I'm adding the glam and creativeness to the movie. In my past blogs I've edited my videos with color and cute images but this time I can't, I need to make it dark and ominous. I First decided on what genre of music I would like to use.I didn't want any words in the music I just wanted creepy sounds. However when I asked Alyssa what sing she'd like to use, she told me she already found one. She choose Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. I listened to the song and it fit our opening movie scene so well but we couldn't use to due to the copyright issue. To be able to use this song we would need to email the producers of this song and request permission. The issue with that is they probably will take a super long time to answer or just not answer at all. Too avoid that mess we chose a upbeat but my...

 Hello, welcome back to my blog! Last weekend Alyssa and I finished filming the start of our movie, The Run. Since we were on spring break we decided that the best way to agree on our editing decisions was to FaceTime. Thanks to technology were able to share our screens, so I shared my screen to Alyssa and used the editing software CapCut. We started our editing process by placing our scenes into the correct order. To make sure that we had the correct video clips and that it was the right order we watched the video in present mode. Everything was correct so we began to trim our clips. Since we have a strict time limit we needed to adjust all of our clips. This was really hard tp do because some clips were longer than others and some were shorter. For example in the clip were Chloe FaceTimed her friend Katelyn had to be about 20 seconds and the clip where the Mysterious Man opened the door was about 7 seconds. So Alyssa and I had to find a solution because we keep going over the tim...

 Last weekend Alyssa and I completed filming the outside part of our intro to a movie. Yesterday on March 14th 2023 we filmed the rest of our video at my house. I picked Alyssa and Stella up from school and drove them to my house. We all dressed up in character and began to film. We needed to get done soon because it was a school night and Alyssa and Stella have a pretty decent drive home. Unfortunately for us, some parts of the filming didn't go as smoothly as we thought it would. We had a lot of hiccups during the stage where Stella sees the mysterious man enter my home. We couldn't figure out how to do a long shot while also incorporating Stella in the shot. It was either we were too far from the door and you could hardly see the mystery man or we were too close to the mystery man that Stella was barely in the frame. We wanted Stella to be near the edge of the driveway so it looked like she just happened to walk by while breaking in was taking place. All of our attempts didn...

 On Saturday March 11th, 2023 we filming the start of our into to our movie, The Run. We planned to meet at George English Park at 12:00pm. We decided on 12pm because we weren't sure how long this filming process was going to take and we both had plans later in the day. Since we planned to film on a weekend it made the changing process easier. Alyssa and I both came in our costumes. Alyssa came in her all black outfit with her hair tied back in a beanie. I came in my running outfit with my hair in a pony tail. I also made sure t bring headphones to add to the running vibe. Once we both arrived at the park we sat down at a picnic bench to discuss how we want our limited time to go. We wanted to make sure that our filming would go as smoothly as possible, we planned to try and get all of our running scenes filmed in about 2-3 hours. We began the filming process around 12:30 and everything was running smoothly. This was until I needed to FaceTime Abril. When I tried to call Abril she ...

 Good Morning, Alyssa and I are going to begin filming next weekend because we are both free. But before we could start filming we wanted to make sure everything was aligned. To do this I FaceTimed Alyssa we were on the phone for about an hour and half just discussing how we are going to film, the props, and most importantly making sure the people involved in our video were free. We added Abril and Stella to the call and worked out the dates, luckily for us they were both free next weekend. Stella and Abril left the call and Alyssa and I really needed to choose the park we are going to be filming at. To do this I picked Alyssa up from school and we inspected all the possible parks. We first looked at Bayview Park and quickly crossed it off our list.This park was very in the open and it didn't have a secluded trail like we needed. This park was also very busy so we just assumed that it was going to be busy on a Saturday afternoon. We then drove over to holiday park and we didn't...

Hello welcome back to my blog! Before I could start filming I needed to pick out where I was going to be filming. This has to be one of the most important factors when it comes down to the filming process. My group and I needed to find a park that fit our specific needs such as a setting which had a secluded running trail, a decent distance from both of our houses, and a particular filming spots. To find the perfect park my group and I drive to three different parks: Holiday Park, George English Park and Birch State Park. Once there we scoped out spots where we could film that would achieve a mysterious film. We tried setting the camera up on a tree, near bathrooms and spots that were more in the woods. We didn't do any filming today be use we just wanted to get a layout of the land; however, we really liked Birch State Park because it can be more secluded, tress cast a ominous shadow and most people are by the water and not on the trails in the woods. We really liked this park and...

  1st Sheet: The film starts with a Medium Closeup of the protagonist, Chloe, slowing down to finish her run . This scene will last about 10 seconds, and Chloe will come to a stop. We will put our first title, “Red Ladder Studios Presents'', embedded in the sky. In the next scene, the camera will Zoom Out to show Chloe and the environment around her. Since this scene will be filmed at a park, there will be benches and bushes in the background. Once zoomed out, Chloe will be checking her fitness watch for her time. Next, an over the shoulder shot will shoot Chloe calling her best friend, Katelyn, over the phone to tell her she just beat her record. This scene will show both Chloe on the phone and Kaetlyns face on her screen. While on the phone, Katelyn tells Chloe she sees someone behind her. An eye level angle and pan movement will show Chloe checking her surroundings to see what it was. In this scene, we will include the title “A Scarlett Productions film”. When she finally se...
