Hello and welcome to and welcome back to my blog!! The time is here and you can now see my final task! My group member and I worked really hard on this and I hope you enjoyed me blogging about the process and enjoy the video!

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about the process of re-editing for my final task. Two blogs ago I mentioned that my little sister peer reviewed my final task and she gave critiques. Last blog I talked about how we re-filmed the dance scene based off of those critiques. Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas. The first thing I did was fix the choppiness in the beginning. I did that by trying to overlap the sound from each clip. It is a little hard to explain but I cut the audio from one part. Then I deleted the clip from where it came from. Extended the other clip, and added the audio over that part. I think it fixed the choppiness a little and now the scene looks like it runs smoother. Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about the process of re-filming one of the scenes for the final task. In my peer review blog I shared the feedback that my sister gave me after watching my final task. The only film critique she gave was that the lighting during the dance scene was bad. She said it was too bright and it didn't give the effect of a party. After watching it back I saw what she meant and I texted in the group chat with all of the people who came to help film before. In total there was about 20 people and Annabel and I wrote sent a message that asked if everyone could come back to my house to re-film that scene. At first everyone was on board but then it started to falter. People started to text that they couldn't come and at first I thought it was okay because maybe 5 to 6 people would still be able to make it but that was not the case. Some people ended up cancelling the day of and only two people could come..

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you what my little sister said about my final task. It'll include some of the things she liked, some of the things she didn't like and so on. I think all of the feed back she gave was good. Most of it has do with editing but I think there were one or two filming ones. She's always really helpful when it comes to things like these so I'm excited to share her critiques with you. I'll start off with the things she thought could improve, or didn't like. "The cuts in the beginning are choppy". That is something that I do agree with and will try to fix. I think if I overlay more of the sounds it might be better. She also said that at the end it needs some background music because it was quiet. I already have an idea on how I'll resolve that and I'll go into detail on that in the re-edit blog. The two biggest critiques that she gave in my opinion was that she didn't

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In today’s blog I will be telling you what we did in class to finally finish editing our final task. It was a long journey but I am so proud of what it looks like. However, before we get started I have some bad news to share.. The first thing is that Annabel and I’s last group member, Kester, is probably switching schools. This caught both of us off guard because if we have to re-film then we’ll have to re-cast his part. It is also a little sad because we worked on the entire project together and built memories. It is okay though because we’ll all still remember the good times. The second piece of bad news I have to share is about the video we watched. The video says that you have to remove the background from the website you got the text from and I don’t know how to do that with anything that I have, so now we’re back to square one. We also have to find a font for the names of everyone that contributed. The first task was to find anoth

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you what I did to finish most of the editing for my final task. So all that was left was to edit the last scene, which was the longest and most complicated, and to research and add the text message icons. As I've established in my previous blogs, it is my job to put the video clips in the correct order. It is Annabel's job to match the audio with the video since it was recorded on a different device, and it is Kesters job to review it and point out any mistakes.  I start off the editing process and the first thing I did was put together the clips. This scene was the most tedious of all the scenes because it is the scene at the party and when she gets taken. The first part of the scene where the girls get out the car was an easy start because it is one take of a wide shot of the characters getting out the car. When they get in the party that this when it starts to stem away. The camera tracks thro
