Film Review

Today my group and I decided to ask someone that is not part of our group, to review our film. We wanted to hear this person's opinion and thoughts about the film. Therefore, we chose to have a mutual friend's cousin be the person for this role. We think she is very good at providing opinions and input on improvements that modern films should include. Because she does not live in Florida, Mila sent her the film. The last time we met, we started editing by putting all the scenes in order and fitting the limit. We sent it to her as is, to allow her to revise each shot and provide her input on anything that we might be able to improve. We spoke to her about the music and the fonts used for subtitles. We also brought up other aspects of the film that were not included yet. This is because we wanted her feedback for the entire film, even though it was not finished. She mentioned to us that the quality of the film was low. However, this was because iMessage lowers the quality went the files are sent. She also mentioned that she liked the music choices that we have and the ideas as a whole. On the other hand, she did not like how some of the shots were taken. Therefore, she suggested that we refilm certain shots. My group and I already began making the changes that she suggested. I believe choosing her was a very good idea. She was very informative and gave good tips and advice for the editing process. I hope we can do a good job improving our film. We are looking forward to impressing her with our final product.

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 ...
