• How do your products represent social groups or issues? My product explores the issue of how technology can take control of its users. In my product story, the main character gets stuck in a five‑minute time loop. The cause of this all starts with her phone. One morning, she wakes up and finds her phone acting weird. Her phone starts a random timer that starts counting down as soon as she checks it. She never set this timer and can’t stop it, which shows awareness of how much power technology has over us. Whether it’s through corporate control or scams. Thousands of people fall for scams every year, often without even doing anything to set themselves up for it. Scammers can easily steal personal data, leading to people losing their hard-earned savings. The FBI even reports that over $10 billion in consumer funds have been lost to cybercrime fraud. The astonishing number shows just how vulnerable we all are. In my narrative, the main character’s world is turned upside down when she re...

Editing: Title Credits

-
Image
Hey! Im continue working on the editing of my short film. I've been meticulously editing my short film, focusing on the title credits. Initially, I experimented with various fonts and animations available in CapCut for the opening credits. I ultimately opted for a minimalist font, utilizing a classic black and white color scheme because it was clear to read. For the animation, I chose a  'glitch' effect followed by a fade-out transition. These credits were positioned at different points on the screen, each displayed for approximately 1.5 seconds to maintain the same pace.To emphasize the film's title, I employed a different approach. The title appears in white, accompanied by a fade-in and fade-out animation, combined with a movement effect. The title is prominently placed in the center of the screen and presented in a larger size than the other credits, designed to immediately capture the viewer's attention. My intent in differentiating the film's title in this...

Editing: Background Music

-
Image
 Welcome back!I finished a lot of the editing I had to do.  I picked the background music for my blog. I wanted to find music that was suspenseful but wasn’t too horror music vibes. I looked through the CapCut music options and I found one that I liked it. It took me awhile to find the music that I liked best because there was so many different options. While picking the music I had in mind the music that is used in sci-if movie from my previous research I have done.in previous research the music was like space music and  ambient music. The one I went with was  like that type of vibe. Then, I put the music throughout the whole video and it definitely made the video better. I used the same music throughout the whole video.  I wanted to create a flashback scenes where the characters remembers a moment that happened in the past.  So the way I did this was by putting and black and white filter over the scene and I found a sound that sounded like the characters ...

Editing: Sound Effects

-
Image
Welcome back! In this blog I resumed my editing and finished more of editing. I started off with editing a count down timer to specific scenes. I added the timer  to the phone scenes. I decided to edited the timer on to the phone instead of having the actual timer on my phone when I recorded because I thought it would be easier. So in order to edit the count down timer on the phone I had to first go to the app “clock”. In this app you can set timers and alarm clocks. I would set a timer of my desired time and screen record the timer. After that I went into CapCut and overlayed the video of the clock and adjusted the size so it fit onto the phone screen. This made it look like the timer wasn’t edited on. I removed the background of the timer overlay to make the timer be the same background as the phone and it looked more natural. I did that about 10 more times in my video because I had multiple scenes showing the amount of time left on the phone.  For those scenes I looked for ...

Editing: Putting Footage Together

-

 Welcome back! The app I’m using to edit is CapCut and it’s the same editing app I used in my past projects. I love using this app because it makes editing videos easier to edit and I’m familiar with how to use the app. CapCut has many features to help  accomplish the visions or your video. I’ll be using these features to my advantage like there different lightings and effects. I’ll be editing and using the CapCut app on my phone.  I first imported all the videos into CapCut and I had to decided what takes I would use to edit with. This process was time consuming because for every scene I had 2 or 3 takes of that scene. Most of the takes were all good but some were better. Like I liked the acting better in one scene or the camera angle was done more smoothly. After deciding the clips I put the scenes into chronological order in the app. I want to start my editing in chronological order because I work better starting from start to end then starting in the middle or any oth...

Reseting The Set

Welcome back! Filming was all done but before I could begin the editing progress I have to clean up the set and get it cleaned. I made sure to make cleaning the set after use a priority because I know other people use the set and I don’t want them to have to clean up after our mess. So I prepared and bought multiple different cleaning supplies to prepare cleaning the set. My videographer also helped me clean my set. Cleaning the set didn’t take as long as I anticipated. It took around a hour. I cleaned the props and costumes. I also cleaned the room. That’s all I had to finishing cleaning the set.  During filming I accidentally broke an item on the set. I broke a flower vase that was supposed to serve as decoration in the film. But I wasn’t able to get another vase or save the vase. So I decided to make another vase so the set could be fully reset. I had to throw away some props that I used. I threw away the printed calendar I used as a prop for my film. I took pictures of the cale...
