Re-filming

 Hello today I will be talking about our re-filming journey. So we started editing and it was going great. But while watching we noticed something. We were looking at the scenes and we realized that we didn’t film some scenes. So we had to make plans to re film. Which was going to be difficult because of Morgan. Since she just got a surgery it would be different for her. So we had to figure out how we could do it so Morgan can be in it too. So we decided to film the parts where Morgan isn’t in them. Just so we can give Morgan more time to heal. So when we decided that then we had to decide when we were going to film. So we took some time to figure out everyone’s schedule. Once we figured it out we got a date for filming. After we got the date we had to figure out if we needed props. If we needed props we had to figure out how to get them. After we figured out the props we went to get them.  We needed the mirror which we had and a flashlight. So we got the flashlights. After we got our props it was time to film. So we went over to jakes house to do the re- filming.

Adding in music

 Hello today I will be talking about music. Well music in our film. I will also be talking about the importance it is in movies. Music really makes a movie especially in horror. So when we were think of music we had to do some research. We look at other horror movies to see what type of music they play. When looking at it they all play eerie music. This is to add an uneasy feeling in the audience. Adding eerie music really makes the audience feel the mood. The creators made eerie music to make people feel worried while watching or uneasy. Another sound that horror movies use is ominous orchestras. This is another great sound that people put in horror movies. There are so many great options to put into the movie. Which is crazy because I never knew how many music options there were for horror. But that gives us a lot of options to choose from. So we had to do some research for the music. We had to see which eerie type of music would fit our movie the best. So we looked up movies like ours. Like Annabelle and other spirit related horror films. To see what type of music they had. They all had eerie music so we looked up some eerie music to put in our film.

Editing begins

 Hello today I will be talking about editing. Specifically our editing for our movie. Since we finished up our filming we decided that’s it time to start the editing. Mostly planning the editing, but also starting it. We also just want to see what would look best with our film. So we are going to try a couple of thing to see what would look best. After we do that I think we are going to look back on our old movie. This is to see what we did last year. To see how we can make our new one even better. We would do this buy seeing what techniques we used last year. Also how we used them and what parts we used them. Then we would think about how we could make it better. Then we would start our process. So for our editing process we would all send the clips of the movie to each other. This is because we all took clips on our phones. Because this takes up a lot of storage. We want to make sure we had enough storage for the whole movie. Then we are going to put them together. Then we are going to add any effects or cut stuff if we need too. Then we are going to rewatch it and see if there is anything else that we need to add.

Our obstacles during filming

Hello today I will be talking about some issues with filming. We chose to film our movie early. This was due to the fact that Morgan was having surgery during break. Christmas break was when we thought we were going to film. So we had all the stuff ready to do that over break. So when we found out she was having surgery we had to film ASAP. This is because we didn’t know how long she was going to take to recover. Recovering from surgery’s can take a while so we wanted to get filming over with. We filming our movie right after Halloween. We thought we were going to film on Halloween. We soon realize that if there people around they would get in our shot. Then we would have to retake that shot. Or it might be too loud if music was playing. So we decided to not risk it. I think we filmed it on the perfect week. Because we were all free and we all wanted to finish it up. We are all glad that we got it out of the way. It’s one less thing to worry about. Now Morgan can rest after her surgery. She is really happy that we filmed before her surgery.

Filming day 2

 Hello today I will be talking about our day 2 of the filming process. On filming day one we decided to only do a couple of scenes. This was due to the fact that we started filming so late. The flashlights that we used in the few scenes we did also weren’t doing anything for us anymore. So the next day we all came back to jakes house to film the rest. We kept all of our costumes at jakes so we wouldn’t forget them. We went over to his house mid day. So it wouldn’t be so bright but it would be good enough for lighting. Once we got there we put on our costumes and did some makeup. After that we got some props ready. We had to make some so we took some time on that. After that we had to read our scripts. Just to go over what to do in the scenes. Then after reading the scripts we had to see where we would film the scenes. We also practiced a couple of times. Just to make sure that we knew what we were doing. Once we got that done we started to film. Filming went good we got it done quick. Filming was super fun. I really enjoyed it and I also enjoyed seeing my group mates again. 

Titles

 Hello today I will be talking about titles. Specifically Titles in our film. Titles can really add to a film. Titles inform the audience about what the movie is. Another thing that really goes hand on hand is fonts. The fonts also matter in a movie. There are different fonts for different genres. This makes titles so unique. Or sometimes you can tell which fonts goes with which genre. For example horror has some fonts like sorrow, and exorcist. Just by the names of these you can tell that these are for horror films. These fonts are used in many horror films. Another example is action. Some action fonts are the avengers. We know these are action movies. We know this because any marvel movie is action. Titles and fonts make up the movies. It makes the audience understand it little more. So when thinking about our movie and knowing it’s a horror movie we had to get the right titles and fonts. We also did this last year when picking our titles.

Filming day 1

 Hello today I’m going to be talking about our filming. We wanted to split our filming into two days. We decided this because on the first day it was getting dark out. There were some scenes that needed to be in the light. So we had to split up the filming in two days. So when we first started filming we went to jakes house. I was in charge of being the costumes . When we got to James house I soon realized that I forgot his costume. So I had to drive all the way back to my house to get it. It was already getting dark so when we got all ready it was pretty dark. We were worried that the lighting wouldn’t be good in the dark. So we got some flashlights so you could see us. We also had to look out for cars and other people. We had to look out because we were filming this in the middle of the street. We also had to make sure no dogs were barking. That took some time because when filming the scenes in the street there were some dogs barking. So after getting the street scenes done we started to film us walking up to the house. This was kinda hard because the lighting wasn’t the best. But luckily we had the flashlights which helped a lot. After those few scenes we decided to take a break because the lighting was getting worse and worse.

Social media

 Hello today I will be talking about our social media platforms for our movie. These platforms include Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. On these platforms we put the information about our movie. We included the actors, when it would be coming out, and the title of the film. When creating these platforms it was a breeze. This is because we all know how to set up social media platforms. I set up Instagram and that was pretty easy. But after I set it up I had to follow every other film group on Instagram. Which was good so now we can show off our idea with an audience. Some of our followers are also just random people who just want to see the movie. Morgan did Facebook and she said it was ok setting up. She had to download the app because she never used it before. But after she got logged in she said it was pretty good. We made the Facebook just like the Instagram one. We added the title, names of the actors, and when it will be showing. We also added the same profile picture in both. Alex did Twitter and said it was easy. She already had Twitter so it was a breeze for her. Like before we added the same profile picture. We also included everything we added to the Instagram and Facebook one.
