Final touches

I know I haven’t given much attention to the post card and website as I have with filming lately. However, they have been simmering in the background as my group has been doing all their work accordingly. The postcard is almost ready to go. Just waiting on Brayden to add the final touches now. Once that is completed, it will be the first piece ready to post on our final project blog. Next up is the website which I have steadily been working on it day by day. My group and I have been taking notes and making sure all the information we retain through the project can be incorporated into the website. Just a few more things I need to fix up and that will be ready as well. The social media links are also ready which is one of the last things I need to add to the website. I did the Instagram page and Brayden set up the twitter page. Once they are attached to the website, everything will be fully completed. Brayden, Elton, and I have been working hard everyday for everything to come together. Each of us are adding the final touches to our parts of the project. It has all been a big team effort and I’m extremely proud of the our group. In terms of the website, I’m very happy with how it turned out considering it was my first time building one. I didn’t follow any specific set of instructions on how to build it. It was a major freestyle for me as I went with the flow to figure out what I needed to in order to make any changes to the sit. I’m super excited to be seeing the final task fully come together. Additionally, maybe because of this project I can pursue websites as a more long term hobby if necessary for whatever job I will have as an adult. Everything has been a tota learning experience along with very rewarding outcomes. Stay tuned for more updates as the release dates are getting closer for all the content of “In the Shadows”.

Final Name Change

Hello, blog. I indicated in my most recent blog that I was completing the editing for our movie. I wanted our produced and directed title slides to appear in the movie, so I embedded them. I began by writing the directed by title on the exterior of my building in the first frame. The difficult thing was not learning how to embed text. Finding frames where to insert the text and have it appear to be a part of the video without the camera moving and the text moving with it was difficult. It was the only factor that determined where I placed the credits. The movie also has sound, which I added. You might remember that in a previous blog I asked Universal Music for permission to use the song "Love Fools"; following their initial email, UMC never responded. That was certainly unfortunate. It would have been fantastic to incorporate such a classic into our movie. Thankfully, we switched to the royalty-free music from our backup plan. To do this, I went to YouTube and typed in "

Tweaks and Changes

There are a lot of things that still need to be fixed with the clips. As a group we officially started editing and we are using iMovie. The film was taken on my phone since we agreed I had the most storage and was able to have all of that on my phone. We put the clips all together on iMovie and it came out to be 2 minutes and 41 seconds. There are still some parts we must cut out or shorten that should not be there, but I'm glad we got the time right. A big part also needed to be done are the titles. We will work together to make them look as neat and flowy as possible in the film. Hopefully it turns out as amazing as I think it will. I think the hardest part for my group was getting everyone together, but I'm glad we managed to do it. Without all the proper editing, I believe the film looks great! To be honest, maybe we could have had better lines, but fairly they were cliff hanger lines which are just what we needed. It worked perfectly for the concept of the final task proje

Filming officially complete!

On Sunday evening, we all got together and finally put our commercial together. Michaela came to help with the filming while Sabrina, Lola, and I were the ones being recorded. I ended up bringing a couple chairs and a white table cloth to set up the scenery. Lola had other necessary props such as the table, and she went to the store to buy the actual Twizzlers as well. Sabrina also brought a hot glue gun for the use of gluing Twizzlers together to make it one long one for the last scene. Unfortunately, we ended up having to use our backup plan, but it still worked in our favor. Lola's sister and her friend were unable to show up for the filming process. They had practice for their sport and couldn't make it to be a part of the commercial. In this case, we had Lola and one of our friends, Nate, do the last scene from the inspiration of Lady and the Tramp. We also were unable to film at the beach as we planned, because it was a rainy day and the weather conditions did not allow u
