Last Day of Filming!

Today we continued with our filming. Dara and Violet went to Dara’s house to work on filming the rest of the video. We needed to take advantage that Violet’s brother, Cole, was available. Because they still had some daylight time, they decided to take care of the parts in the flashbacks. The shots that were taken included Cole and Dara walking together. Some other shots were taken while they were sitting together and also spinning. A lot of other scenes were filmed, but Violet made sure that she got some good ones where they showed the most chemistry. In the middle of filming, there were some unexpected situations that worked just perfect. While Cole and Dara were sitting on the steps, Cole got his shoes dirty. Violet was able to catch his natural reaction to the incident. She was also able to catch Dara’s most natural reaction to what happened. Moving forward, the video includes a part where Cole goes to visit Dara. For this part, we used Dara’s actual front door and apartment decoration for the setting. The scene had to be filmed various times because with all that was happening, everybody was laughing and not 100% focused. But at the end, it came out pretty good. Then they called Mila and I through FaceTime and we all decided that it would be a good time to film the part where Cole and I exchanged messages on the phone. After this, they took pictures of Cole getting out of the car, as well as while he was driving the car home. This was done just in case we needed extra filming when we do our editing. With that, we have completed the scenes that were planned for our video. We are all now in our path to start editing.

Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal...

Music Changes

Today, we spent time picking new music. We messaged Khalid a while ago and he still hasn't seen ut. Since Khalid hasn’t answered our messages, so we didn’t to have any other artist options. My group and I didn’t think Frank Ocean would respond back or even on time. Because of that, we didn't attempt to message him. We started looking for some royalty free music. However, none of the options were good enough for our film in our opinion. We kept finding other ways that we can use so that the music would be good. Since we think music is one of the most important parts of the film. We found some potential ideas. We thought of the idea of remixing a song, so that it wouldn’t be copyrighted. We started editing the song we originally had which was "Coaster." We editing the speed and the sounds in the background to see if we can still use it. My group and I really wanted to use this song, so we are trying our best to make it work. After a lot of time, we made it possible for ...
