 This is the film me and my group created. https://youtu.be/bg0jkJ9LRc4

 Hey guys! this blog would be the last one of me typing and telling you guys what going on due to the fact that the last 3 is going to be my film and CCR questions. ima miss updating u guys on making this film and telling you what’s happening. Blogging on here was really a fun experience since i was getting to type my thoughts and how everything was going during this journey. Well now the journey is over and this is basically it. I hope Cambridge approves of the blogs and film that i put hard work towards. Bye bye guys!

 Hey guys! so this blog is a follow up on my last one. I just figured out that I have to make 2 videos when answering these questions. To make this process a whole lot easier i’m going to right down and answer the questions on a peice of paper then read it from there when recording. This process could help me say more things and would probably help with nerves while recording. Bye bye guys thays it for this blog.

 Hey guys! so today i looked at the CCR questions and decided that i needed to answer them on a sheet of paper first and then record them. since the videos of me answering my questions have to get posted after my movie, i’m going to have my mom record and help. The CCR is the last step of doing this exam so i hope i do good. Bye bye guys thays it for this blog 

 Hey guys! so today our editor of the group finally sent the final version of our film. The film looks great in my eyes and also to our teacher. Feedback really helped us and made our film look very similar to the thought we had in our minds. This blog is short because there’s not much else to say since the film is done being recorded and edited. Bye bye guys!

 Hey guys! so today in media class me and my group decided to go around and watch some of the other groups film in the class. Watching their films really opened up our eyes and let us see some things we could’ve improved on and how everyone has different taste in films. All of the films that we watched each had a different genre that varied from horror, thriller, comedy, sci-fi, and adventures. Seeing these different films really helped and opened up me and my groups mind. That’s all for this blog guys, bye bye!

Hey guys, this is a follow up blog post from the last one. So me and my group figured that since we finished our movie too late that there would be no point of entering in the contest. This is a big disappointment for us due to the fact that the money would’ve been really good and helped out a lot but we didn’t want to rush our editor and wanted her to take her time while editing the film. This blog is short and simple but hopefully the next one would be more interesting, Bye bye!

My media studies teacher informed my group and the whole class about a competition where if u think you and your group have a good film u can submit it into a contest to win a good amount of money. While watching the process of our movie being made we’re thinking about entering giving that our movie could win at least 3rd place. We’re still despised if we want to put ourselves out there like that tho so next blog would be telling me when we decided. Bye bye !

 Hey guys, so my editor gave me some tricks of what she did to make our film  so i’m gonna share it with you.  Since we aren’t professionals at making films and editing them, the sounds that was needed to give meaning to the film was took off youtube while she made sure they weren’t copyright. The rest of the film where she used filters, words, transitions etc was all used with cap-cut. That’s it for this blog bye guys!

 Hey guys! so this blog is going to be chill because there’s not much to update you guys on since i’m waiting for the editor to finish the final touches of our film. She showed us the rough draft of the film me and my partner thinks she’s doing great. While waiting for our editor to finish i’ve been brainstorming about how i wanted the final questions at the end of my blogs but we’ll get more into that in another blog. Bye bye!

 This blog is about the bloopers me and my partners made since were very unserious and it took us a lot of times to film just 1 scene. I'm thinking about adding bloopers to some of my blogs just to fill them because some were actually funny and interesting. That’s it for this blog not really much information but hope i can give more on my next one, bye guys!

 Hey guys so this blog is talking about the advice that was given to me bout my movie from my family and media studies teacher. My family advice was to make the film a little more longer and and more entertaining to the viewers while my media study teacher told me and my partners to put the tittle somewhere else in the movie other than the end because this could give the wrong message and make Cambridge think that that's the final part of the film and nothing else happens after that. Me and my group took the advice that was given and listened to everything that was told while we advanced our film. That's it for this blog, Bye Bye!

Hey guys, when making this short film I realized that several key elements are needed. A clear script is needed to outline the story and dialogue. A good camera and good sound equipment are necessary to capture high- quality visuals and audio. Additionally, a good pair of partners helps bring the film to life, with each person having specific roles that fits them. Finally, editing software is needed to piece together the footage and increase the final product with music and affects. That's all for this blog, bye bye guys!

 Hey guys, I decided that I wanted this blog to cover my thoughts and feelings during this whole film making process. Creating my short film for media studies was an exciting and educational experience but it could be a little stressful at times. First we had brainstormed our ideas before finally deciding what we actually wanted the movie to be about.  During me and my groups brainstorming process it was a little stressful because we couldn't collectively decide on what we wanted to do since everyone had just so many ideas. We then gathered our team and assigned roles which was not as hard because everyone knew what role they wanted to do. Me and my team did finish our movie a little late due to the fact that we had complications trying to link up and actually film which was overly aggravating. I do track so I always had practice, Kenadie always had work and had to attend her job, while Tamaya always had plans with family. Disregarding everything else, after finally filming ou...

 Hey guys! Me and my partners had different props we each needed to bring for the movie and I forgot to tell u guys how I made it, so that's what this blog would be covering. The prop I made for the film was a white shirt that was bloody, cut up, and dirty making it seem like its been in the woods for a long time. First step to making this prop was finding a old white tank top that I did not use anymore. The second step of making this prop was tearing holes in it for a more scary and older looking affect so I took a pair of scissors and started to cut up the shirt in certain spots. The 3rd step was to make the shirt bloody, I did not own any fake blood at the time so I took a dark red syrup that's used for drinks then put it in a bottle. The bottle had a little bit of water in it so it could smooth out the thickness of the syrup. Last step to making this prop was to make it dirty, I went outside and threw the shirt in some dirt while making sure the shirt didn't get overly ...

 Hey guys! this blog is going to be covering little details and changes about the film me and my group made. So the editor Tamaya sent us the film for feedback and we gave her little ideas and details that she could go back and change. We told her how she could make the transition in between the scenes a little more smoother and clear. The brightness and the tone in the film needed to be lower giving that we wanted to make it seem like it was darker outside. The background noise needed to be lowered also so that we could here more of what the actors was saying and the songs in the film needed to be a little more scary. That's all for this blog hope I could give more information next time, bye bye!

Life of a cinematographer was not easy due to the fact I had no experience in doing any of this before but it turned out to work pretty well. When filming our movie I made sure to focus the camera on little things that made u ask questions like “why is the bracelet being zoomed in on?” or “why is the camera showing the actors back instead of face?”. When recording I realized camera angles plays a really important role in films. This is all for this blog, hope I could update u guys on some more things that happens very soon bye bye bye!

 Hey guys! since our film is done being recorded and edited but i have plenty more blogs to post, i’m going to just be filling u in on what’s currently happening with me and my group. Me and my partner Kenadie is waiting for our editor Tamaya to finish up editing the film, She was thinking about adding bloopers to the end of the film if it doesn’t reach the goal of 2 minutes. Today me and my group did a little thinking and was deciding if we wanted to change up our film a little. The blogs and movie have to be submitted soon so we chose not to make any changes due to the fact that we may not have enough time.

 Hey guys! this blog would be talking about the editing process that went toward our film. i don’t know much because i was the cinematographer but i will describe some of the things our film director Tamaya told me. The grid size that was used for the film was 4:3 to make the movie look wider and easier to see. Our film was based of horror and we wanted a gloomy and darker setting to match the genre so a filter called “Moody fall” was used. The background of the park was a little loud when recording so the editor used voice recording and replaced then into the film so you could hear the actors who were speaking. 

 Hey guys! so today was day 2 of filming. We went back to the same Location around 4 again and finished everything we had to do. Giving that i don’t have many roles in the movie, i filmed most of the parts. Today we finished up our movie and filmed the last 3 scenes. The last scenes focused on the plot twist and cliff hanger of our movie. When filming the movie i made sure to record voice memos of the actors so the editor could add the sound to the film due to the background being to loud. We payed most attention to the props and sounds of our movie. Now all that’s left is to edit the movie. bye guys!
