I Fixed Some Problems

Image
 Welcome back! As promised, today I will be fixing one of the complaints mentioned in my last blog. In my last blog, I gave 3 people the chance to critique my final task. One of the biggest things that all three of them mentioned was the music volume. Because of this, I will be adjusting and fixing not only the volume of the music today but also some other things they mentioned. The volume of the music was a very easy fix. In CapCut, all you have to do is click on the music. Next, go to volume, and then turn the volume down until you are satisfied. Along with turning the volume down on the music, I also turned the volume up on the original sound of the film. By doing this, it helped the audience better hear the dialogue and not have to strain to make out what the cast was saying. Another issue I addressed was the auto-captions displaying the wrong words. I am thankful that those who I showed the film to caught this mistake. Although it is small, it is something that shouldn't be ov

I Finished My Final Task and Got Some Feedback!

Welcome back, guys! Guess who finished their final task? Me of course. After a lot of time and effort, I am happy to say that my final project is completely finished... or so I thought. I showed some people the film before I released it and I got a lot of really good feedback. Of course, it's good to hear that what I spent the last couple of months making is really good, however, there are still some things that I can touch up on before I finish. I interviewed about three people. I showed them my film and asked them what stood out to them that I could fix. One of the main things that all three people said was to lower the music volume so that you could hear the dialogue. From a viewer's perspective, it's super important that the music in a movie or short film doesn't drown out the talking for a bunch of reasons. First off, we need to understand what the characters are saying, right? If the music's too loud, we're like, "Huh? What did they say?" Plus, m

Production Blog - Almost Done Editing

Image
Welcome back, bloggers! As mentioned in my previous blog, this blog will be about editing again. I am pleased to say that I am about 3/4 done with editing the film. I want to focus this blog on one main thing. The other feature I will be using. As in the other blog about editing, where I focused of filters and effects that will be used in my final task, I want to mention another element that will be very noticeable. As a reminder, I am still using CapCut to edit. The name of the element is "Text and Tiles". Here is some information about this element:  CapCut's "Text and Titles" feature offers a versatile toolkit for adding textual elements to your videos. With a wide range of fonts, styles, and animations, you can customize text to perfectly complement your content. Whether you're creating a catchy title sequence, adding subtitles for clarity, or inserting playful captions, CapCut provides the tools to make your text stand out. The intuitive interface allow

Production Blog - Back to Filming

  Hello again Bloggers! Long time no see! As you can see by the date of this post, it's been a while since I posted a blog. I will make sure to update you all on everything! I promise. Without further or do, let's get straight into it. Okay, so we all know that the last time I came on here it was a complete disaster. Nevertheless, we still had high spirits. Our high-spirited attitude differently paid off I would say! The crew member that was sick was only sick for 2 days. Then, his sickness cleared and we were cleared to film! We were back like we never left! I am happy to say that we are completely done with the filming process of the production!!! I guess you could say we worked really hard. Maybe we needed that little break! I am so glad that we are done filming! Now all that's left is editing the film. We are almost done! The next blog I post will be about editing, and hopefully finishing the editing. I am excited! Until the next blog! Out.

Production Blog - Ran Into Some Issues

  Hello bloggers. Welcome back to another update blog on my final task. As you can probably tell by the title of this blog, I ran into some problems. The main one is that we did not do the second film session. While this doesn't through me completely off schedule, I would've liked to keep the pace we were going at. Secondly, one of my crew members is sick. This is the main reason why we weren't able to film. He has a really bad cough. I hope he recovers fast so that we can stay on pace. Other than those two problems, I haven't really run into any other issues. I hope it stays like that for the duration of the rest of the time we have left to complete the final task. We still are high-spirited as a group though. Keeping high spirits during a film production, especially when things go awry, is incredibly important for the whole team's well-being. When we maintain positivity, it spreads like wildfire, lifting everyone's mood and creating a supportive atmosphere whe
