New Word: Uber

 Welcome everyone, our group must film the crucial scenes of our movie this week, but we're on a time crunch, as we have so much conflicting schedules. We decided to meet this week and all film at my house. One problem however, I live quite far from our school and we have to record during a weekday. To get around this, we decided we'll all get an uber to share a ride. Uber is an app that allows you to book a car ride from one destination to another, but it can be a little pricey. However, it's a necessary expense and split between 4 people is relatively cheap. We're excited to film this week because of the small purchases I made that will greatly improve our quality of film. The first one is a tripod, which i actually purchased last year to help with my media project when I did AS level. It will help us have a steady angle and be able to pan the camera smoothly when needed. The second purchase are microphones I ordered off temu, which connect to my phone, that help with the audio quality of the film. They're little clips that you attach to the collar of your shirt and the microphone will pick up the audio and wirelessly send it to the phone. I have 2 of them, meaning dialogue will appear much smoother as well. It's these small purchases that really will bring our film next level, and with the help of our uber we'll be able to use them and get the most important parts of our film in. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on how production goes and as always, i'll see you all in the next one!

Planning our next Recording!

 Lauren, Isa, Franshesca, and I are excited to be continuing our movie project after school on Wednesday, as we plan to record the second half of our movie. This time, we'll be capturing scenes of the main character at his workplace, and we can't wait to see how it will turn out. It's amusing to think that we are recording the second half of our movie before the first half, but that's just the way things have worked out for us based on convenience and scheduling. I am especially grateful for my tripod, which I will be bringing to the shoot. It will be a significant help in keeping our shots steady and professional-looking, and it will make a huge difference in the final product. Franshesca and Lauren will take point on the camera since they do not have acting roles in these scenes. We are all eager to bring our individual strengths to the project to make it a success. Working after school means we'll have to make the most of our limited time, but we're confident

Final Plan!

 I am thrilled to announce that Lauren Franchesca Isa and I have finally reached the last stage of our movie project! After months of brainstorming, filming, and editing, we are finally ready to record the final scenes. To ensure that everyone can participate, we have all agreed to record after school on Wednesday. This is the only day that works for everyone since we all have busy schedules and other commitments. However, one of the challenges we face is finding a location that is not too far from our school. We need to be able to make it back in time for the afterschool buses at 5 pm, so we can't go too far. We also need to find a spot that is quiet enough to record our movie shots. We have already considered several options, including a nearby parking lot, and possibly Wilton Manors. After much discussion, we have narrowed down our options and are confident that we will find the perfect location. It's important that we choose a spot that is convenient and won't cause any

Editing!

 As soon as I finished recording the shots with Franshesca for our movie, I imported the footage to my laptop. I then launched iMovie and began sorting through the clips to find the best ones for our movie. Since some of the shots were taken from different angles, I had to carefully align them so they would seamlessly transition between one another. This required a lot of precision in terms of timing and placement, but it was necessary to create the illusion that it was all one continuous shot. As I was editing the footage, I realized that we needed some background music to help set the mood for one of our scenes. I started looking for suitable tracks online, but quickly realized that we needed royalty-free music to avoid any legal issues down the line. After a bit of searching, I came across a site called "upbeat.io" that had a great selection of royalty-free tracks to choose from. I spent some time browsing through the different tracks, trying to find one that would fit the
