Reflection

Dear Passionate Media Followers,


   I am writing my last blog to you guys before I upload my finish CCR ( which I finished yesterday) and my finished film opener!!!! Looking back at this process, I have learned a lot about myself and the things I am able to do with a mindset. I feel extremely lucky to get the opportunity to have worked on this project. I especially and so lucky to have gotten to work with an incredible team that has supported each other through every single hardship, mistake, obstacle, and success. I am proud of the work that we created and can't wait to see what the world thinks of it! I also want to thank everyone who has helped my group and I create this film. To the actors, to the people who lent us their homes, and to the people that bought us food on set. I appreciate each and everyone of you and this project would not have become a reality if it wasn't for you! With that said, this is the last time you will hear from me. I hope these blogs were useful to anyone. Until next time.....

Got Music Approval....


Dear Passionate Media Followers,

  [Disclaimer: this is not going to be a very long blog] I have some good news to report! Just a couple minutes ago, the producer of the beat called Dazed & Confused" Juice Wrld x YNW Melly x Trippie Redd type just reached out to me and told me I could use the beat for the video! That means that today in class, my group has to work hard to edit out the music in the video and clean up the montage scene and then our video will be finished! It also means that all our music is now all ROYALTY FREE!!!! Today, I am also going to be starting my CCR.

Music Change to Beginning of Film Opener

Dear Passionate Media Followers, 

  I think I have found alternative music to use in the beginning of our film opening during the montage scene of our film opener. I found a trap beat on Youtube created by a small local music producer, which is not copyrighted. The beat is called Dazed & Confused" Juice Wrld x YNW Melly x Trippie Redd type beat. I have attached a link to the beat below. I reached out to the creator of the beat just to let him know we would be using the beat he created and, to be politically correct, I asked if we could use it! I will let you guys know if he gets back to me. I just emailed him, but after I publish this blog I will reach out to him on all his social media platforms.

Viewing Party

Dear Passionate Media Followers,

  I also wanted to fill you guys in on something that I am trying to plan. I am so proud of the film opener that my group is producing that I am putting together a viewing party for the film opening. I plan to invite some of my family members and friends one weekend over to my house to watch the opening. I think I am going to have the viewing party on April 20th. I even am going to try to challenge myself by cooking for everyone for the event because I really have to learn how to cook before I go off to college in a couple months. I will let you guys know if this event works out!

Making Changes to the First Edit

Dear Passionate Media Followers,

   Today, is my first day back from spring break and it feels really good to get back into the groove with school. Today, I am meeting with my group to look over the edit we did over the break with the video. As of right now, I think there are only three things that we really need to change. I think we only need to change the background music during the montage scene because that music isn't royalty free and the individuals who own the rights to the music aren't relying to my emails. I found another song that could work well for that scene, so all I think we are gonna have to do is import the new song onto the timeline and shorten/lengthen some of the clips on the montage scene to flow better with the music. I also think we should add an establishing shot of the house before we have the first shot of the main character's eyes opening. Besides these two things the only thing I think we have left to do in terms of editing is maybe clean up the cuts and audio in the bedroom fighting scene and car crash.

  Today, during my groups meeting I am also going to start working on my critical reflection and making sure my group members are keeping up with their blogs. I also plan to try to make a flyer for the film.
