production: friends review

 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 also felt that some sections needed work. They provided us with some advice on how we might improve some sections, including adding additional conversation to specific (mall interaction) situations or tweaking the story's flow (changing ordering and taking out flashbacks).

We then decided that we should have an editing day to tweak this things.

editing blog: Cut it

 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

  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

Editing Blog: success is in the journey

 Because last time i finishes almost all of the editing there was less to do. Today i tried to sync the video more to the music. I wanted the kick of the bucket to sync with the beat drop at the start of the lyrics. Making the lyrics match up to the action of acting like a rich girl. After all of the adjustments and trying to pause different parts to fit it. It was not successful. After many tries, i realized that it did not affect the music video that much. However i do believe it would've been satisfying to see and hear the start of the lyrics matching. Though the music video does look good. I am proud of myself and Naturelle for filming the video on time and early sowe did not stress at the last minute. I was nervous about the scheduling at the beginning. But after talking we set out available dates even though both of us were busy half of the times. I am happy everything workout in the end. I hope others enjoy the video too.
