  The Old friend was inspired by past friendships and drama genre films, we are trying to portray a  toxic friendship between two teens that are trying to rekindle. Representing the struggles of toxic  friendships, and relationships that are harmful, damaging, and draining. They can be just as  harmful as toxic romantic relationships and may leave you feeling anxious, depressed, or just  generally unhappy. Toxic friendships often involve one person who is controlling, manipulative,  or emotionally abusive, and may involve a power dynamic where one person is dominant over  the other. In teenage years these friendships are most likely to happen to lead to regret for their  actions in the long run.  My film aims to address the harm that these relationships can do to both participants. On one  hand, one friend felt extremely sad, hurt, and left out of this friendship. While on the other hand,  the other friend felt guilty about treating their friend badly. Overall, toxic friendships are a

Production Blog: DONE!

Image
 Working on a short movie as a group for class can be thrilling and difficult. You get to work together with your peers to realize your creative goals. It can, however, occasionally get stressful, particularly when the deadline is drawing near. We came quite close, but we succeeded! Nonetheless, our little video was ultimately completed after several weeks of diligent labor and many late nights! Witnessing our concepts come to life on TV was an amazing experience. We were all pleased with the results of our collaborative efforts. Seeing how everyone's distinctive skills and suggestions combined to produce something genuinely remarkable was one of the most satisfying aspects of the procedure. As filmmakers, we were able to benefit from one another's knowledge. Nevertheless, there were some difficulties along the way as well. Making the final edit required us to make some difficult judgments about what to keep and what to cut. Moreover, our minor mishap with the last-minute filmi

editing blog: review day

Image
 Since our friends reviewed our short filmed and gave us advice on their thought on the film. We decided as a group to edit our short film together. As a whole we discussed the process that we were going to have when setting up to review and tweak our short film;. with the advice of our friend we looked at each scene to see what we could possibly cut out as previously mentioned our film was over the time limit. so scene by scene we reviewed each scene tweaking along. we went around in a circle asking everyone if they think if a scene to be cut or not. this took some time but eventually, the film was to all of our likings.  Next, we started out with the color of the film even though we thought that this didn't need changes we still felt like it was necessary. Just take precautions we looked over the color of the film deciding if it should be darker or light. And adjusting the gradient level and more.  Then we moved on to music even though my teammates and I individually looked up mu

production: friends review

Image
 We worked together to create the movie and then showed it to a buddy to receive some feedback. We sought an outsider's viewpoint on the movie, someone who wasn't engaged in its creation. We had confidence that our friends would be forthright with us and express their true opinions. I was a little anxious as we sat down to see the movie with our friend. Even though the same buddy saw my video the year before, I often get anxious in circumstances like these. I had high hopes for the project because we had put a lot of effort into it. While we waited for our friends, we all sat on the couch and watched the movie on the TV. Our acquaintance sat in quiet for a short while after the movie concluded as they contemplated what they had just seen. They finally turned to us and began to express their ideas. They were candid yet helpful, highlighting both the movie's advantages and disadvantages. Our acquaintance thought certain sections were nicely done and truly loved them, but they

Editing Blog: Day off

Image
 Today I edited our short film. Because I did not go to school today, I had spare time to add a little touch to our short film. Even though I would not consider myself a professional in editing or dealing with editing software, I still tried because I had enough time to help out my team. First I started out by adding sound effects, for this, I went on to youtube and searched for non-copyright music. This was to avoid the copyright strike as plagiarizing someone's music is quite bad, it's stealing the arts that they had worked hard for produced by their talent. I added this music to bits and pieces of our film, mostly I looked for pop background music because our film was mostly coming to age/pop-like film. Then I looked at the color. since our film takes place during the daytime and is a coming to age pop-like film I did not edit the color too much. As I thought it was fitting for our film to have that nice daytime look to it. It was a little time-consuming as I had something e

editing blog: Cut it

Image
 Today my group is editing our short film. When we initially edited our short film it was 2 minutes but after multiple production blogs, we have now reached 5:22 minutes. This exceeds the short film time, so for our editing today we will be cutting down on our scenes. we started out by trying to shorten our short film by scenes. when we evaluated the scenes we saw that some parts could indeed be cut out or shortened, so I went by each scene choosing whether to add that part or not to our final product. While my other teammates did other editing jobs. Because we had school and could not meet up we mainly edited online. Each team member had different jobs so the editing was faster than usual. Even though we did editing online as a backup, it still worked well for us. there were no major issues and I feel like this way of editing is better for everyone in our team as we don't have to go anywhere, all being introverts with parents that have different schedules. Overall we did cut down
