Production Blog: First Day of Editing

 To start with editing I had to decide on which editing program to use. I researched for about 15 minutes before going back to CapCut. I thought CapCut would be easiest as I can edit it on my computer and on my phone. CapCut is also very simple to use. For the next step I needed to get the audio downloaded. On the opening scene I wanted light background noise. I went through Youtube for a bit and landed on sounds of birds chirping. Now, I needed to get the song on my computer. I used a Youtube to MP3 converter online and got MP3 files of the birds chirping and the song. I then had to wait a while for the songs to convert. Once they finished converting I uploaded it into CapCut. Then I went through all of the videos I got and my group members got. I looked through each of the videos to decide which ones to include. This process took around 30 minutes as we got a lot of footage when filming. Finally, I decided on 2 videos per activity to get multiple shots of each. I ended up getting rid of the group aspect of the video as the videos didn't line up well and wouldn't make sense in the final product. Once I picked out the videos I had downloaded them to my phone. With them on my phone I emailed it to myself so I could put it onto my computer. Finally, I downloaded it and uploaded it into CapCut. With everything ready I decided to put the project fully together another day.

CCR: Podcast

Podcast Script:  Hello, welcome back to my podcast. Today I am discussing the film Cold Case. Cold Case is a new thriller movie about a group of teenagers exploring an abandoned ice rink and not making it out alive. Our first question today is; how does Cold Case engage with audiences.   The foundation of "Cold Case's" engagement lies in its ability to forge a deep, emotional connection with its audience. This connection is c reated through the film's focus on five friends exploring an abandoned ice rink, a premise that is both relatable and builds a potential for tension and horror. By choosing characters that viewers can see reflections of themselves in, the film allows you to put yourself into the situation of the characters . The horror and suspense are n’t just limit ed to the screen; they resonate on a personal level, tapping into the universal fear of the unknown.   Moreover, the found footage style of "Cold Case" serves as a powerful tool for imme...

Production Blog: Beginning to Film

 To begin the full group filming process everyone met up at Dania Pointe as planned. I coordinated schedules and times to accommodate everyone. Over the weekend on Saturday we all showed up at 11:00am. For today I decided to work on the second scene. The second scene consists of a split screen of the varying perspective of one side eating alone and one side eating with friends. So to set up I first had to find 2 separate areas of Dania Pointe to film. I walked around for about an hour scouting out filming locations. The first place I saw was a long strip of fake grass with a lot of tables around. I thought it would be a good place because it had a nice environment and background. The next area I found was shadowed and isolated. I thought that it would be a good idea to have our solo actor film there. I then walked around and found a couple of other spots but ultimately decided on the first two I found. After this I brought in the actors for the group scene. They all went and got ic...
