Peer review

Image
the last step is peer review. Now that i finshed editing all i had to do was get feedback, and fix what needed to be fixed. teh first people that wastched was my group. Naturaly. Then i showed my parents. Then lastly my friends. And my friends parents. the reception was great. But i encourageed them to be more honest. There were some easy fixes. One of them was the score. It was a little lackluster. Becuase i never got the rights to the song i wanted to use it was a struggle. I had to look through royalty free music. BUt it all seemed so bland. Like an ad. not a movie.SO i went back and looked more. I decied that the score with the use of no sound. And diegetic noises i could create more emotion. I finshed up editing and showed them once again. Much better.

Finish editing

Now that we have filmed everything i can edit. I was able to finish editing the movie today. I organized all the clips in my phone. And uploaded them. Once i put them in the editing program in order i ran through the film to see what needed to be done. It was a lot. transistions were a major part. On top of that some clips length needed to be edited. Shorter or longer. Louder or quieter. This took a long time. A couple of hours. Once i finshed the transisions and everything ran smoothly i had to work on sound. This included extra sounds that needed to be added. Background noise. And most importanlty music. I had to use royaltty free music but i think i found the right song. Another major component was making sure the valoume sounded even throughout the whole movie. This took a lot of work. And double checking. But i finaly finshed. And it was time for peer review.

finishing filming

I am very excitited becuase today was our last day of filming. ALl we had left to film were the scenes where Trevor begans to better him self. These scenes take a while. This is becuase of a couple of things. One of which is it is a lot of clips. Lots of little peices that need to be put together. Unlike the other scenes we have done recently that have been shot in maly one take or clip. These last scenes are edited together. Another reason is that the beining of the "end" is very dialouge heavy. IT has a monolouge given by treovrs mom in the movie played by my mom. This scene is supposed to be very emotional. The delievery of the monolouge is crucial to understanding th efilm. It is trevors turning point. What makes him want to better himself. Becuase of this we had to get this scene perfect. It took many takes. Like, a lot. AFter we fimsished the monolouge it was smooth sailing. we finshed the rest of the clips. Which mainly consisted of training.

even more filming

Today the scene we filmed was trevors doctor appointment and some of the scenes around his house. These scenes did not take as long as the others. This is becuase they are much shorter. Also becuase these scenes have less dialouge. This makes it easier for our actors to remember what they have to do. These scenes only reqiured two actors. Trevor and some one to play the Doctor. Our intitial idea was that i would play the doctor. But i didnt think i fit the role well. So we had to find some one else. I wanted some one who played the doctor to seem like they know what they are talking about. This was not easy to find. So i made a comprimise. Our friend luke really wanted to be in the movie. SO we let him. He was perfect. He got his lines memorized. And gave them perfectly. He was very confident on screen, and emotional. The next day we will continue to film.

More filming.

The next scene we are filming is the one where trevor gets ingured. For this scene we did not need every member of our group. Only trevor and Ely. WE also needed some one to play quarter back. So i called my friend seba. He was perfect for the job. This scene did not take long to film. It consisted of trevor doing drills. Runnign routes. ANd getting hurt. Unlike some of the other scenes which dont contain many clips. This scene has many clips that are edited together. That means it is hard to see how the scene will flow untill after editing. I can still however, try my best. This scene is supposed to be fast passed. That means music and editing will set the pace. I beleive that a bunch of differnt angles switching baack and forth will make the scene feel faster. This scene has so may clips and it took many tries to get right. I think after editing this could be one of the coolest scenes in the movie. I am very happy with how it is turing out.
