FRICK

WHY'S IT ALREADY SUNDAY??? 

Let me start off by talking about everything I've been doing. My CCR's, editing, re-shooting, and stressing. 

Yesterday I recorded my second CCR, which is the Autocomplete Interview. Everything went great..but just wait until I tell you what I just noticed not too long ago. 

So, first we went to the Dollar Tree to get a cardboard poster so we can create what we needed. This was the inspiration:

this is what we made

It looked WAY less wrinkled in the final recording but it worked our pretty well. We printed a Google logo and drew up the rest. To cover the questions I cut up strips of paper and glued the end of it to the poster. 

Kinda made a mess but this is what Carsons bed looked like after..

We used a tripod to record so the camera was steady and not shaky, we put the script against it so I can easily read off of. Carson stood behind the camera as the 'interviewer' asking the questions. 

Before filming, I made sure all the questions that we are expected to answer were incorporated. And I missed one, which was the one about technology, so I had to quickly make a paragraph for it and this is what I added. 

"As for technology, I used lavalier microphones to get the best sound, a Canon camera to get bright and clear visuals, a tripod to keep shots steady, and other props that helped make this film come together smoothly. I used iMovie to edit the opening which, since I was already heavily familiar with, it was easy for me to navigate around different settings and buttons."

BUT as I was editing this and reviewing, I completely missed a WHOLE question. I don't even know how I missed it, so I searched my cameral roll and recently deleted and only found ht bloopers to the question, but not the real one. Tomorrow, after school, I will record that last question I missed. 

Here's the blooper of the question I missed.

Now, editing!!

I used capcut to put my credits quad it turned out perfectly. 

I definitely recommend using CapCut for this since it offers MANY different effects, fonts, colors, and other settings. 

For music, it was difficult for me to choose which sounds fit perfectly. For the first scene, I used bensound, with the song 'rainy day.' 

For the first flashback scene I used purple planet which has a variety of different sound and foly effects.

For my title, I called the film 'Luna', aka the protagonists name. iMovie offers a setting to create your own title and it had one which fit nicely, so I didn't use any special website for that. 

  

For the night scene, where Luna leaves the restaurant, I used a song that was sad to establish Luna's mood. I used bensound for that too. The song is called 'tomorrow.' 

Towards the end of the opening I used bensound again with he sound 'pulseandpause,' which gave the film a heightened suspense. 

For my production logo, I was originally going to use this.

Then I thought it's too simple, and I really liked the typewriting effect, so I searched how to do it and I've been trying to edit that on Adobe Premiere Pro. It's been giving me some difficulties and I can't understand why so I will just ask a friend who knows how to navigate this app well, tomorrow at school. 

I also re-recorded the last part, where the killer shifts to Drive, but when I put it in the film it was way too light. So, tomorrow I'll be re-shooting that one part again so it looks like it's being taken at night. 

Editing is the only think on my mind right now to complete, so I will just be working on that throughout the rest of the day today and all day tomorrow.
