Finished!

  Alright... So I am going to list the changes I did due some complications. Alright let me list one of them. I didn't use a promagrante, the liquid came out pink and I re-did the scene useing red water because it made more sense to me. Another major change was I changed the location of where I am at the beach otherwise, everything is mostly the same. Besides that everything else is fine. The 'timelapse' scene, well how I did that was record a video and then sped it up. I tried to do it with the timelapse feature and it came weird, so I re-shot that. I added the title towards the beginning and added the credits at the end since I had to do that. I made those appear simple and easy to read. There is also a scene were I walk out the door, I removed that. Another huge change was the removal of dialogue. It made sense to me to take out the dialogue. The scenes with the dialogue are the same just without dialouge. To enhance some noises, what I did was add a sound bite from anot

Editing Ends!

I should be done! So, I am jus going to talk about what I did. Firstly, I added sounds that enhance some of the actions, especially when the scene cuts at time. Other wise, I added more effects since it would work well with the entire idea. I added the end cards and I added music to those as well, since I don't want it to be silent. Besides that I am done with editing. Worried, is still an understatement, because I of course still have other things to do. I do have ideas for that either way. If I do run into problems, I will have just look around the internet for ideas possibly. I will speak if I take inspiration from anything.  I don't want to think abou it much since I want to save that for the next blog. But like I said, the lighting in some scenes is differnt from the original clips. I brigthen it up and enhanced a couple of parts of images such contrast. This almost goes for sound, it get louds at times and gets really quiet. This allows an uncomfortable feeling to settle

Struggling

  I hit a road block! So, I hit a road block for some reason. I am debating myself with somehting, which is adding subtitles. I feel like that would add something to the video since there's barely any dialogue. I am conflicted but at the end of the day, I am sure I will add them.  Anyways right now I doing effects, like fading out and fading in. Another thing I have for the time lapse, is to cut out portions of time lapses so there is more than one me. Maybe it will work out, I don't know you will see if I do it at the end because right now I might change it. But at the moment I will need to do more research in order to this. That is one idea I have, along with multiple to improve it. Either way, I want a deep moody vibe. I am looking up on how to do that, for instance, brightness and contrast. The only thing is what is annoying me is I don't really have lightroom but I am pretty sure I can replicate it Premiere Rush. When it comes to sound, I am just enhancing a couple of

Editing Starts

  The struggle begins... To start off, I added everything to the cloud and made sure it was backed up. I then added it to the timeline. Now for this part of editing, I wanted to cut time off of a couple things and check if everything runs smoothly. I am using Adobe Preimere Rush, since it is free and all. Now I have never used this program, you can already see the problem. I spent so much of my time watching tutorials on how the program works. I still don't know the majority of the features. Another thing that comes into affect is that this Adobe program isn't new but it is on the newer side you can say, especially on mobile. Since it is on the newer sides, it has a couple issues and so on. I had to work around these issues, for instance, one of those issues is that there was a time where it didn't save. This meant I did have to start over after I made significant progress. I did have to cut some of length of the clips since it did go over the limit. For some, I couldn'

Filming Ends

  The beach According to my family, I am not normal simply because I don't like the beach. Sand gets everywhere and it is simply too much of a hassle. Along with that, it is always so hot and humid. I hate it. Either way for some reason I choose the beach since it isn't far and honestly its nice a night so after I will just grab an ice cream. Either way, I filmed close to the pier and the plaza since you could see the lights. I then walked along the shore. Now call me crazy but I wore shoes for some reason and that made it difficult to walk on the sand. This day of filming took longer than expected because I forgot to take account how dark it was. I will have to fix that in post when I edit. Maybe that works! I then filmed the rest of the scenes pretty smoothly. I had to do shots multiple times since again, sand is hard to walk on. Just a bunch of small rocks that get everywhere. After filming finished, I checked everything and then transfered everything to the Adobe cloud. I t

Filming Continues

  Personal Space...  Today, I filmed in my room. To do this I did rip pieces of paper, crumble them up, and just throw they on the ground. The next thing I did was mess up with bed and put clothes everywhere. I then just simply pulled the doll down and lit a candle with nothing in it besides those small tiny candles. From there I just filmed the scenes I needed. I did use a knife that was dull and small, just to make sure everything was safe. I then filmed the scenes were the room was messy. For the timelapse, it is proving difficult simply because of how an iPhone records one. The exposure changes over time and you need to keep it very still. So, what I did was simply record that on a seperate day where I had more time to film it. When the room was clean I simply recorded the majority of those scenes, which was fine. I did have water nearby just in case the fire escaped. The scenes in the kitchen are the things I filmed next. I made progrante juice prior and spilled a bit on the floor

Filming starts!

  First the park! When I started heading to the park, I filmed the first four scenes since they are shot simply outside of my place. I also filmed the scenes in the car slowly since it is dangerous. I didn't film this alone, I luckily have a family member of mine helping. After filming those scenes, I got to the park safely. I filmed the majotrity those scenes pretty smoothly. The only problem I ran into was time. Sunset only lasts 35 minutes which proves difficult. I had gotten through the second storyboard, which means I had to go back another day to film. This does mean I will be limited on time from now on, and I have to be careful on whether I make mistakes or not. Either way, let us move onto how the next day went. The next day went smoothly but again sunset lasts 35 minutes. I was able to film the last scenes at the park and finished this location. In order to film the people in the distance, I asked a family member of mine to participate. They don't really have a signif
