  My short film’s plot revolves around friendship and the struggles friends face. It portrays how girl friendships, in particular, can change, but it also touches on general problems many friends go through, regardless of gender. My movie, in short, encompasses two best friends who meet a new girl and one of the friends becomes closer to the new girl. This caused the old best friend to become very jealous and act on it by killing the new girl. This touches on the theme of jealousy in an extreme manner. Although many people don’t act as aggressively on their jealousy, these feelings are genuine and cause damage to society. The feelings of betrayal and jealousy can stem into greater mental health issues and affect an individual’s role in society. The act of being replaced in friendships can be the loneliest experience for somebody. It makes people think they are not good enough, or that something is wrong with them just solely because of the fact their friend is now closer to someone els

Final touches

Image
 Hey blog. Back again and ready to finish the editing of the short film. Jenna had to task of most of the editing. I started by administering the time of the film and sending all the videos over to Jenna. Now it times for me to help with the audio of the film. My job was to find different sounds for the back of certain clips. They scenes where the girls were hanging out was gonna be like playful music in the back as there was no dialogue. I searched on youtube for sounds that didn’t need permission to use. I did this by searching to playful free royalty music. I narrowed down the options and asked my friend Emilia which one she liked better. She chose a more subtle one which I think was the beta choice as well. This allows the films to not be overpowered by the music in the back. The music only served as background music for those scenes where there isn’t meant to be dialogue. Next, I searched for ominous and suspicious music for the more thrilling scenes. I did the same thing and look

Back at it again with the editing

Image
 Hey blog. I am back again here and reading to discuss the editing process within my group and how I contributed. So  Jenna has now recovered from the flu and is back and better than ever. As all of the scenes have been filmed editing tasks have started. I was the director throughout the whole filming process so I had all the videos on my phone. However, Jenna, as she’s been out, would be doing most of the filming. I ran into a problem getting the videos sent out. My phone has basically ran out of storage so sending a lot of long clips through messages isn’t able to be done with some storage. This caused me to not be able to send the videos until I freed up some storage space on my phone. I did this by going through my camera roll and deleting old and unwanted videos and photos. I also went through my apps and deleted unnecessary ones. I didn’t realize how many food apps I have that I never use lol. This freed up enough storage to get me to send the scenes over to Jenna. Next, my task

Making the social media handles

Image
 Hey bloggg. Back again and ready to discuss the making of the social media platforms for my film. So I was assigned this task along with helping in making the website and postcard. First, I made the instagram using an old email because I did not create a whole email for the film. I named the instagram Shatteredbondsthefilm and most of the other platforms were also named some variation of that. Next, I added a profile picture to the account along with a bio. In the bio I added the whole cast crew names and how to watch the film once it was out. I then posted some of the groups behind the scenes while filming the first time, with Jenna. I also made sure to leave a post for the post card, that Natalia was majorly in charge of. After all this the instagram was basically complete. The only thing after that was getting some followers and that was easy. For the twitter, it was even more simple. I just used my email to make an account and named it around the same thing for the instagram. I ad

Postcard timeee

Image
 Hey guys! Okay so let me take you through my process of making the group's postcard. Since the group is four people, everyone tried to be involved in the group project. However, as Jenna has been out of commission for a while due to sickness, the rest of the group mates will have to put in more work. This is not a problem as the rest of my groupmates are very hardworking individuals, unlike my last group lol. So, originally I had no part in the postcard as I had put in a lot of work with the website and the social media handles, but now I will be doing the back page of the postcard. I talked with Natalia through a lot of my process in making the postcard as she was making the front page. I called her so I could get a gauge of how the front vibe was looking so I could match it. Natalia and I talked for a while about the postcard and other things as her and I are friends outside this class. I then went on to make the back of the postcard. She sent me the completed front and this hel

Creating the website

Image
 Hey blog. Here again and todays topic will be my contribution in making the website! So most of the website was assigned to Carleigh but there was a problem. She used an outside resource to create the website which when she was done charged her to share it to others. This cause her to be very frustrated as all of the work she did the website would be erased. I did some research and found a free of charge website maker called “Wix”. I reassured her she wouldn’t have to redo it completely and that I would help her. I asked her to sent a screenshot of the website she had made prior as I guideline. In the making of the website I was getting frustrated myself. As there are soo many little options to edit and lots of settings to adjust, making the website was annoying. Wix made it pretty easy to use the features and everything so that was a plus. I had to think of a color pallet for our website which I ended up with a black, dark red and cream color. I tried to keep this color pallet across
