Film Review Changes


Today my group and I decided to make the changes to our film. We allowed Mila's mutual friend's cousin to review our film and provide us with feedback last week. We decided to use her feedback to help us improve the film. By allowing her to review our project, this helped us to have a better perspective of how others would feel and react when watching. She told us that we should have refilmed some of the shots. Luckily, they were shots of only me. This made it easier for us because our film was already taking place at my house. I made the time and organized myself to complete this. I had my mom help me refilm the parts that needed to be fixed. I had to retake the shots a couple times until they came out the way we wanted. The friend also recommended that we should have changed the color of our subtitles. This was due to the colors being so similar to the background. We did not think about this when we first chose the color contrast. We also changed the order of some of our shots. This is because we noticed that we showed her the film with two shots switched. She did point it out to us, which was helpful. My group's main goal was for someone else to understand what was happening throughout the opening sequence. It was one of our main concerns due to so many things happening within a short period of time. The friend then confirmed to us that she understood what was happening throughout this film. I hope that others will like our film when they view it.

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 ...
