When discussing our title, my group has decided what font we want. We are thinking of making the title in white and for the font we were think of BebaNeue. This font gives suspense usually in horror films because it catches the eye with the boldness and brings further suspense to the scene. Some of video effects we plan to use is blurriness for our title to guide the audience at the title. During the film we have various transitions such as . Some audio effects we used were ambient noise. 

Some problems we encountered during editing were making transitions smooth and timing effects with the video. Some solutions to these problems were to take it slow and having people help out. They have spent around 3 hours now. Lastly, we have added more effects to our video such as, zooms in to help focus on the person speaking and edits such as vignette and the blur close effect.

My teammates have spent around 2 hours editing. Anabel and Emily (The people in the pictures from above) are in charge of editing. We plan to keep filming soon and encounter new problems but as a team we will work together to get through any obstacle. 

Filming Process

This is our groups 2nd week in action as we continued where we left off last week. We knew the best way to prefect our video is to put the film together and see what we could do better and critic it, so after reviewing some previous film we refilmed some parts that didn't look up to part with the video and thought of ideas of how we can fix it. The lighting has been amazing and so cooperative however after filming the first time we noticed that it got dark extremely quick so we couldn't waste any time. After taking the lighting into consideration as a major step back, we quickly found that it was best to meet at an earlier time. 

     

                

These are some picture captivated from our last session. Our helper Gabriel, with the bright yellow shirt, helped captivate different angles along with our director Anabel. We decided that we need multiple angles at the same time so we chose to bring our friend so he can help us record and help Anabel with various angles.

Challenges in Film

 
                                 Challenges

This is my groups 2nd time filming over the last couple weeks.These last couple weeks have brought challenges that reappear and new one that present every time we film. One of the groups biggest challenge is working around everyone schedule and finding a perfect day for everyone to film. We also encountered other challenges at the location of film such as, people walking in and around the video because it is a public park a lot of people love to go for walks. We also have minor challenges like all remembering our lines and what we have to do in each scene. As a group, I believe that we have been handling these challenges great as we also seem to find a date for filming and as we have patience for each other since we have been friends for a long period of time. The lighting and sound are great as it helps sets up the location of a park with the suns reflection on trees in the background and the ambient noises present. So far everyone has held their own weight and contributed significantly to the film and I can't wait to see the end results. 

Costuming

For the film, the protagonists are wearing regular teenager outfits that consist of shorts, a shirt, and some active shoes. The reason we chose these outfits is because they add realism. Another outfit that is going to be shown is a police officer. In the scene, it will just show the officer's bottoms with a low angle. The reason we chose this was to help start our film with a mysterious feeling. Everyone participating in the film will be using their natural hair to connect with the teenage audience. Additionally, we plan to include various accessories and props to enhance each character's look. For example, the protagonist might carry a backpack or jewelry, while the police officer might have a belt with a holster and a flashlight. These details will help convey the characters' roles and personalities more effectively. This will help us connect to the audience and make it easier to convey our story.

Preparing to Film

 

Challenges: One of the biggest challenges while trying      Easy Parts: An easy part was planning on what 

to film was coordinating a time that best convinced my.     we wanted to do for our film, our group worked

team. Another challenge was trying to find outfits to           very well together so it was no trouble 

find, personally I found some challenges on finding an       presenting ideas an deciding what we wanted

outfit to match the vibe                                                         to film.

Actors: The actors in our film is a group of friends that go by the name Emily, Anabel, Leon, and Nestor

Costumes: Our costumes are mostly basic teenager outfits (T-Shirt, Shorts, and Shoes). Another would be a police officer one in the beginning.

Props: The props in our film are a locket that contributes to the plot. Our prop was easy to acquire since we could order it online.

Locations: Our first location would be a forest, this is where the film will begin. The second location takes us to an abounded building that's run down. A challenge with the first location is timing and lighting. If we go too late it might be too dark to film. In the abandoned building lighting might also be an issue.

Dates and Times: Our films would be easiest to film on weekends. We could all meet up around 4:30 or earlier so the lighting is dark but enough to see in.

Script: The script has been made and each actor has their own lines and roles. I will be playing a protagonist that help solves the mystery of our missing friend.

Film Equipment: Film equipment being used is a phone camera to record the shots and a drone to record the setting.
