Editing until I drop

   


 Since Wednesday I've been editing non-stop trying to get this film right. My biggest task has been the titles as I want to be perfect. I ended up completely wiping my old title design and going with something else. My original plan just didn't match the feeling of my film anymore. So I had to download new fonts and pictures and start from scratch. That room my about a day but putting them all together is taking the most time. I plan to completely finish the titles tomorrow and review the rest of my edits. So that I can submit my final task that same day. I am using DaVinci Resolve to edit. This high-tech editor allows me to have complete artist freedom just at a click of a button. It was a little tricky to manage at first, but with a few tutorials, I think I've become a master! Luckily, I can devote all of my time to finishing up my edits because I have no other conflicts. Such as work or other homework. I estimate that I will finish up at around 6:00pm leaving one hour for me to review and upload. While this wasn't my original pan to still be editing on the day that this is due. I still plan to get everything done and of good quality. There were a lot of sets back with this project. The pandemic being the main cause of a lot of them. However, I made it my duty to power through and still come to create a good outcome! After I finish, I will use the weekend to complete my CCR. Back to editing I go!

My Pitch

Image
       So here's my first pitch-     A group of teenagers, all from different cliques get brought together by a life-changing event that will keep them connected forever. Will they fumble? or rise to the occasion!      My next pitch is sorta similar but more action- A group of friends must resonate with their souls in order to defeat the ultimate evil. Bonded by fate, will these heroes save all of humanity?       For my first pitch, I would be interested in making it into a film because I feel as if it's versatile. It doesn't give too much but it still leaves something on your tongue. This could take place in a high school, camp, mall, etc. The options are endless. Also, the genre is ultimately action drama. However, with his pitch, it would be easy to add in some romance or even comedy. Still, a downfall is that there's no real cliffhanger.     I would be interested in making my second pitch due to the more fictional aspect. I would love to add lots of cool effects to

Ready to flim

      Finally, the day has come to film. Last Saturday, I shot a few scenes. But due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn't film again on Sunday. My sister and I managed to get a few key shots in. However, we will regroup and film the rest this upcoming weekend. My mom even agreed to act in some scenes. This comes in handy in case I need more footage to length my film. Also, if I'm short of shots was editing. This will also help me capture multiple angles from a scene at once. This will also help save a lot of time. As two heads are better than one. I would say that 30s seconds out of the entire film down. So that means only 1 minute and 30 more seconds to go. Of course, I'm going to film over 2 minutes so that I have enough to cut and edit. Until then, I will probably make a few changes to my script and add a character for my mom to play. Giving both of them enough time to remember everything. The changes won't be too drastic. Maybe only shifting everything a little b
