  Filming my CCR was stressful. My phone kept running out of charge, I had to do re-takes as things or voices kept interrupting. But doing my makeup in front of a camera was fun and an experience!

During the filming of this video, I had lots of experiences. Looking towards new projects. 

 My partner and i basically edited our film today. We took the advices from my peers. With these different opinions we were able to make bits of edits to enhance our film. We decided to work this over the phone. Because it was easier and worked better for our schedule. We basically spent the time over the phone just moving through scenes. After we went trough each scenes we checked off if we had all of the requirements. We then decided of we wanted to meet up again to refilm the scenes we did not like. 

 Today I had a peer review done. Before I let my friends reviewed I went over the film one more time. I suggested to my friends to review my 2 minute film. This happened after school while i was in a club. First, I let them view the film. Then after asked if they could explain what happened and how they understood it. I then let them watch it second time while pointing out while the different hidden parts. After i asked if they now understood the film with the hidden meanings. Overall the peer reviewers gave the film a good rating.

 Today my partner and I decided to film. We filmed the second half of the film. Regarding the second character parts. It started off by filming different clips of the stalker behind trees looking. And running after the character that is jogging. Then finally hovering over her. All these scene will have a tracking shot, pan and low angle. While filming things tend to happen around us such as dogs barking, birds chirping. so I feel like we're going to need to cut the background noises out. I started to jog again for some parts we did not film the first day. In between the jogs we took breaks. I will say that no I am not the best runner nor athletic. We then filmed the hand movements like the hand of the character emma trying to protect herself. Due to safety purposes we did not bring a weapon or something like a weapon for filming. This filming day was shorter then the last one. We got every scene done what's next is editing.  The weather looked the same but calmer.

 Hello blog! Today my partner and I, decided the music background for each scene. during scene 1 a diegetic sound will be heard. As both actresses are having a conversation. in scene 2, upbeat music will be heard. Inside of the headphones while the actress is running. in scene 3, during the action of the chasing, diegetic sounds of leaves breaking. intense thriller music will be heard in the background. the bad guy will be chasing the actress. in the chase scene energetic, thriller and scary music will be playing to create a sense f fear. and the point of views will intensify it. at the end the weapon being being hit will be intensify . at the end their will be a voiceover of Claire.

  My partner and I decided to call each other. In the call we briefly talked about the film more. Although, we did not physically meet up to film. We thought that this will give us more productivity. Mainly because we have been busy personally. We decided to slightly edit. We did this by going through each scene we filmed. Because we had to film many times. I looked at each scene we filmed. Then we decided which ones to keep. In my decision I considered the lighting, smoothness of the camera movements. For some scenes we have decided to reshoot them as they were not to our liking. Next time we both wish to be more prepared, but as always other factors play into our schedules. For example, we were rushed therefore we had no time to pick all of ours props. But as for now we placed the some of the scenes we liked into the film to develop. Hoping that we could get more and more scenes done. I made a joke pertaining to the blanks left for 2 minutes serves as our reminder. overall the ca...
