  Hi blog!! Today after many changes, we’ve finalized our film. Now, we will be c reating the website and postcard for our mafia short film. We used Wix for the website, which made the process easier but still required a lot of customization to match the dark, cinematic feel of the film. I selected a template, added images, and adjusted the layout to avoid overcrowding the page. Writing the film's synopsis and ensuring it matched the tone took several drafts. Embedding the trailer was straightforward, but I had to make sure it didn’t slow down the site. I also worked on SEO, added sections for the cast and crew, and set up a contact page for festival submissions. While working on the website, I also designed the postcard, aiming for a simple yet striking look. I chose a bold image and made sure the text was readable by adjusting the contrast. The postcard included a QR code linking to the trailer and website. After finalizing everything, I distributed the postcards at screenings an...

  When we sent our film to Zuleyma she thought our concept of a revengeful murder was not unheard of, but we added a twist that made her feel interested throughout the film. Zuelyma’s opinion not only meant a lot to Charlize , Sabrina and I because s he was critiquing and giving feedback on our film. But because she is our friend. We wanted her too genuinely like it. A fter watching the film, she had a list of pros and cons. Things she thought we did well and some things we could improve upon. The pros were that she thought we had good angles, nice lighting, our costumes and the mystery . The con was the audio. She said that the angles we chose to use for each of our shots fit. That even though they were simple we weren’t trying to overpower our work. A s for the lighting she complimented us on our ability to work as the sun was setting. This was something we only had so much control over but we did it really well. As for our costumes, she thought that they fit our vision ...

 Hii  Blog, I’m back, Happy President’s Day!! Today is the first class period since we finished our editing process at Charlize’s house. I think today is one of the hardest dates since we choose our music. In the beginning when first heard of the project and developed our idea. A song that at the moment was stuck in my head was ‘She Is A Mystery’ by Lovin’ Spoonful. When I informed my teacher she told us we would need permission from the producer/singer or our film would be copyrighted. After she explained the process to get rights, my group and I began writing our email to  AMR Songs which owns the publishing rights by the Lovin’ Spoonful. After I typed up the email and sent it. I noticed that they had sent me an email back almost instantaneously. This was due to them having their email inbox full. It was a good thing we started this process since the beginning to have time to have a plan B. I researched other ways to get in contact with the AMR team but it was impossibl...

  Hii blog, I’m back, Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, we again, went to Charlize’s house to finalize the editing process. After we left her home yesterday, she decided to try and finish the editing. While she played around, she tweaked some of the stuff we had already collectively done as a group. When Sabrina and I saw these changes we weren’t too happy. As a group we had to have a talk and discuss whether the changes looked better or worst for our type of film. These changes made the film look more horror rather than the mysterious look we were going for. After voting, we decided that it was best if we did not keep the changes but we kept the copy of this video to show our critics when we asked for our friends opinions. We began the CapCut process all over again. Putting the clips in, editing the credits and putting the timing correctly. We decided on all of us to be involved and no group work to be done without all of us there. With everyone’s curfew, we attempted to fit all of th...

  Hii blog, I’m back. Today, my group and I are starting the editing process. Although, I didn’t have much motivation towards the end of the filming process.I’m glad to announce we have all of the scenes done. My groups designated editor is Charlize. Even Though Charlize will be doing most of the editing me and my group mates are still trying to be part of it. We’re doing this by using our creativity to come up to come up with the layout itself. The plan for the layout is to put any of the credits on open space. We took this into consideration during our filming process too. While we helped Charlize, she put together all the clips and cut them to fit the time correctly. As a group, we also decided to come up with our studio name. For this, it was kind of a debate. While Charlize wanted: Visionary Films. Sabrina and I wanted: Infinity Studios. This part of the editing process was one of the harder ones because at the end we are a group and we have to all be on board with a decision....
