Editing blog: leave it to the professional

Image
 For our first editing blog we left it to Naturelle, as she was the main person that edited last year and as a group we feel her expertise are better than all of ours. Naturelle is responsible for making the transitions cuts and the lightings. But we are responsible for sound editing, which includes sound effects, background music and audio quality. We are using multiple apps such as iMovie, video leap, and capcut and mostly video star. We are using the scene that we filmed to compare the qualities of the editing softwares. We are looking for one that match with the genre and plot of our film. Overall we are scheduling more filming dates because the schedule that we originally set up has changed based on our parents. As Alexi is the only one that has a license and car. 

Production blog: A weird bombastic side eye at the mall

 Today Alexi, Naturelle and I went to the mall to film. We arrived in the morning and continue filming throughout the afternoon. In the beginning we searched for malls and locations to film our scene, even though we did not start with the first scene due to weather and not finding an available park location. we started with the part were both friends are showing the new editions of the mall, I was one of the actress while Alexi was the other friend. Because of this change we are considering changing the name and gender of the characters. As previously thought, another group member  Kennedy was supposed to be a character too but due to her not being available to film. we switched the actors.
