First Day of Editing!

Today my group and I began editing our film. We planned to split the editing part into 2 days. My group and I decided that we would be productive with the editing process due to the small amount of time we had. We first decided to use the CapCut app to edit our film. We picked CapCut because we noticed that this app was becoming more popular. For example, many people would create videos using CapCut and posts portions of what they made following with a shoutout to the app for being good. My group and began I by putting all the clips in order. After, we cut all the shots down to fit within the time limit. All the shots together without cutting it would have made around 3 minutes. This meant that we had get rid of around 1 minute worth of footage. We also realized that in one of our scenes, we were able to see Hannah filming me through the window. This meant that we had to find a way to get rid of Hannah's reflection. Due to my group and I not having much time to edit today, we weren't able to find a solution to this. However, we did find a few apps that we can try to use to fix this problem. We were also able to insert all the subtitles that we needed. We did not know what color we wanted to initially use for the subtitles. So, we picked any dark color for the meantime. We began making some of the transitions. However, we did not get to finish due to the shortage in time. Lastly, we were able to include the music in the background.

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 ...
