T his week we presented ou r projects. My group presented our movie. We received a lot of feedback from this.  Most of the feedback was all negative and things that we need to fix. Some suggested that redo the entire film and just start all over but we decided to just take certain clips out and stick to either a  Breakfast Clu b  spoof or a horror/comedy since they believed it did not fit either of those genres. We also were told that some of the cast  talked quietly so we will be going back into the editing to turn the volume up on those clips. We  could not  do  all  the things we were hoping we could do by the  end,  so we were told to add the freeze frame clips that we were originally going to add but lost track of time .  We were also told to, if we were going to go with the horror aspect, to add a clip of the teacher locking the door or the students complaining about how late it  is or  adding flickering lights ...

  1. This week we have been working on final touches on our film. During the beginning of the week, we began by starting to add  all of  the clips onto the application.  We started by taking out certain clips that were mess ups or didn’t look the way we wanted it to. Then we began making each clip flow with each other. As we did  this,  we were able to start looking for background noise to add. We found an eerie song to us e and bells to make it sound like a school bell.  We then began working on  the lighting for each clip. There were many, many kinds of lighting that could have worked but we decided on one that looks well with the scenery. We also then began changing the spee ds of the clips and play with the speeds. We were able to make things go into slow motion and speed up.    2.This week me and Olivia began working more on editing and adding things. We began adding the title and  other small details. It took many different tr...

  1.       This week we are finishing filming. We have started to film Mr. Ahles’s part where he is speaking to the class and writing on the white board. We also added that he will be walking out the door and slamming it behind him. When we added this to premiere pro we were able to make it flow with the clips from before and make everything flow together. We have also started to film the students parts. We started with the shy girl and the hippie. It took many, many tries to try and perfect this scene. Some of us would laugh or they would forget their lines so we would need to start over. But after multiple tries we were able to make it work. Then we moved on to the furry and the class clown. This also took many tries. This is because the class clown was having to memorize a joke and the furry was having to remember to bark.   2.       This week we continued to finish filming. We moved on to the two cheerleaders. We were unabl...

  1.       This week we have began filming and working with premiere pro. We have been looking at each of the different things that you are able to do on premiere pro with the footage we have gotten. We haven’t gotten much so far because we are trying to work more with the application to get used to it for when we have the entire filming done and video inside the application. So far we have found many different effects and things that we are able to do on here to edit videos. We have found out how to add music and add special effects, lighting changes, adding titles, etc. The end of this week and all of next week we will be finishing filming and adding everything onto premiere pro. As we go on with this week however, we will be looking into premiere pro more and figuring out how to use everything that is on there so we are prepared for when we have to put everything on there and we already know how to do everything. 2.       This we...

  1.       This week we have casted our classmates and teacher from our school. Our cast includes people from our class and other classes. We have gotten permission to use Mr. Ahles’s classroom to film our main area. We also got permission to film around campus and through hallways. We have determined many different shot angles for each shot. For example, we will be using a close up shot when the students are talking to each other and a long shot when the teacher is talking. We have different movements to flow with each shot as well. For example, we will be moving inside the classroom and towards the teacher as he begins speaking. This is to introduce everything and get the credits ended and introduction started. As we started to figure out each of these ideas some might change in the future but others are in place.   2.       This week we also are figuring out what props we are going to be using. We have picked out what kind o...
