Questions 1, 2 , and 3 Hey gang! Here are the first 3 questions of my CCR. I'm so glad I had you to watch my growth and I can't wait for you to see it!

Hey gang! This is my final task that I have been working on for the past few months. I'm so happy with how it came out, and I hope you enjoy it! Thank you!

 Hey gang! This is a follow up of my last blog. Camila and I have taken the notes Lyne gave us on our film and applied the changes to the movie. We are so thankful she was able to help us out. It really means a lot, and we would do the same if she needed it, so overall we both feel a lot of gratitude for her feedback.      Our first edit was our use of a knife in the kitchen and the situation regarding the cake. We decided that out of all the scenes to cut to make the film shorter, Lyne was correct. We didn't need to include all of the cutting and making of the ingredients. We also did not need to see much of the cake after we placed it in the oven. We think that this could add to the mysteriousness of the film, as we have no idea how the oven really never turned off after us assuringly "taking out the cake".      The next edit made was to the sounds. We decided the addition of another song would add to the ambiance more, and wouldn't leave so much silent space in our

 Hey gang!       Today, after Camila and I finished our film we asked one of our friends to watch it and give us some critiques. Lyne, our friend, gave back some good notes that Camila and I looked at. We also watched the final film with her and made some notes on how to edit it as well.       One of the first things pointed out, was the time of our film. Our film was a bit too long and that was the first thing Lyne pointed out to us. She gave us a few suggestions on how to help fix this however. Her first suggestion was the baking scene. We wanted to include the use of a knife in the scene, as a symbol for the thriller movie, however these scenes just took too much of the time up. Lyne said she would take out any scenes of baking that come after we put the cake in the oven. Camila and I took note of this.      Another point was on our usage of sound effects, and possibly add another copyright free soundtrack, to add to the ambiance. Through our first watch through, we caught many sile

 What's up gang? I'll go over all the planning and props we needed to get for our movie in this blog post. Originally, we used items that we already had as props. For instance, we used a box of crayons that I had at my house for the movie's drawing sequences. We intended for the crayons to appear used because she brought a brand-new box of them. To give them a worn-out appearance, we tore off some of the paper wrapping and fractured some of the larger pieces. We wanted our outfits to be straightforward and informal. This is so since our film is set within a house, therefore elaborate clothes are not necessary. We wanted the spectator to get the impression that the characters were at ease and relaxed. We intended for Santiago to sport shorts and a t-shirt to highlight how casual the movie is. Although most of the film was supposed to be shot at night, several of the scenes were actually recorded in the day. The majority of these sequences took place in kitchens.  To make it

 What's up gang?    Today, Camila and I found our soundtrack for our final film project. I find that it fits the Thriller genre perfectly. We searched for royalty free music on Youtube for our music. We were looking for music that had words such as "creepy, horror, and haunted". We found a playlist of worthy soundtracks that could add to our ambiance of the film, and we decided on one of them.     We decided on royalty free music instead of copyrighted music to save us some time. We wanted to be able to pick our music, without the hassle of needing to email a request. We decided on a copyright free music, titled, "It's in the Fog", by @DarrenCurtisMusic, on Youtube.  I find of all the music we reviewed on Youtube, this music would fit our situation the best. The plan is for the first half of the film to only have the background sounds, such as the Television, the drawing, and the kitchen sounds. During the title sequence, the beginning of this music will sta
