Production Blog: Double checking the film

Image
 Good morning! My name is Gabriel and today I will talk about the rest of my production blog. So far I have done most of what I needed to. Being the scoping the area out, props, costumes, filming, and editing, now I will go over the film since I finished editing and exporting the film. I want to make sure when checking my film that there is no errors between anything at all from transitions bugs or recording bugs. If any of these arise I will deal with them properly. While looking over the film I did find a bug with the quality. I made sure to re export this film and export it with a higher quality. I also want this video to not look blurry at all and to make sure proper effort was put into it. I re watched it again with the fixed error and I found another glitch. This time it had to do with sound. The sound was acting up in some of the clips. So what I did is I made sure to recheck everything and add the sound for the remaining clips. When I re-watched it with the fixed sound everythi

Production Blog: Finishing Editing

Good Afternoon. It is me Gabriel and today we will be finishing the editing sequence of my film. I have already finishing inserting the clips and changing the filter as well as change the audio for some of it. Making sure some of it has background audio while others is just a voice over in the background. I didnt want all of it to be voice overs because then it would not be as entertaining as switching between both.Since I started editing here is what I did to finish it off. I made sure to add simple cuts no fancy weird transitions. I want to make sure the audience is not bombarded with everything in their face. Having simple cuts brings simplicity but also a good viewing. I also added black screens at the start with text to introduce the film. I also added black screens around the film to use as transitions for the film. I feel like this film can really turn out how I want it to turn out. Due to the fact that I am keeping track of the editing and stuff. I feel like I will be able to s

Production Blog: Starting Editing

 Good Morning! It is Gabriel here and welcome back to my blog. Today we are going to start editing our clips. We finished filming everything for our film so now we will start editing. I feel like in order for every film to be complete it needs to have editing involved. Since I have filmed all I needed to film I just gathered my clips. After I gathered all my clips in sequence I put them in my video editor called Davinci resolve. Davinci resolve is one of the best free video editors out there and I am so happy I have access to it. I feel like it does what alot of these editors like Photoshop and other paid ones do for free. After I put them in sequence I begin Editing. I add on a filter to the film so it gives it a special look while filming. I want to make sure it matches the vibe I want to bring. I remove some of the audio in the clips because I will voice over it. Once I've adjusted the visual elements, I meticulously fine-tune the audio, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the fo

 Good Afternoon! It is me Gabriel and welcome back to another blog. After discussing what I did for continuing to film we are now going to finish filming. We came along way from just planning everything out.Now we are going to finally wrap this up.Since I filmed at the park and I got everything I needed at the park. Today we are going to Miami to finish filming for my project. I got my costume that I needed to be able to film this scene. My costume is a full suit. Now that I had my costume I was going to start filming. Filming was easy it was just making sure I got all the scenes right. I made sure to do double takes and everything. I also made sure to do rehearsals. I do not want this film to end up in a weird looking weird. I feel like alot of films are produced okay but still have a bit of amateur weird feel. I do not mind the amateur feel but I do mind the weird feel. I feel like everybody should do double takes. However I think that is all for filming now. I will finally gather m

Production Blog: Continuing Filming

 Good Afternoon! It is me Gabriel and welcome back to another blog. After discussing what I did for beginning to film now we will continue the film. We came along way from just planning everything out.Now We are going to continue to film. Since we filmed everything at my house now I have decided to move on to the park. Since I am going to be recording a scene at the park I brought my gear and costumes as well as props. My two other actors came to the park as well making a great addition to the film. We filmed all the shots we needed too at the park. I feel like these shots are important because it provides a great introductory into the film. It gives a way to start off this film. I feel like all films need a scene that they can introduce the film in so that way it is not as just starting right off the bat with nothing. I feel like since I have this done the last thing I need to do is to head over to the other house where I can finish my film at and wrap up this project. I feel like th

 Good Afternoon! It is me Gabriel and welcome back to another blog. After discussing what i did for costumes and props today we are going to start filming. We came along way from just planning everything out. Now we can finally film. Today I will start with the basics from home. meaning I will start recording what I need to at home. I started recording the shots in my room. Then worked to downstairs where I recorded some other parts. I also managed to record outside as well. I also made sure that I got everything right on my script. I had to do some double takes. But It does not matter to me as long as I perfect everything I need to. However that is all I needed to do for now. I will record at the park then at the other location. I want to make sure that I do not stress myself out so I will do it day by day. I will also have the other actors come in when I record at the park. I will also have my props and costumes ready for use. That is all for this blog today. See you next time. Next

Production Blog: Costumes

 Good Morning! It is me Gabriel again and welcome back to another blog. Since Last Blog I was dicussing what Props I used. This Blog I will talk about the finalizing of costumes. Crafting the perfect costumes is like adding the finishing touches to a masterpiece painting; it's where the vision truly comes to life. Whether it's meticulously selecting fabrics, perfecting intricate details, or ensuring each costume complements the character flawlessly, every step is essential. From the protagonist's attire to the smallest background character's ensemble, each costume plays a vital role in enhancing the story's authenticity and immersing the audience in the world we've created. Join me as we explore the creative journey of bringing characters to life through the art of costume design. for the costumes first we have the main characters costume which is a soccer jersey, shorts and socks as well as cleats. The character wearing this is due to the fact that he is a socc

Production Blog: Props

 Good Afternoon! Welcome to my next Production blog. Today I will be discussing more of what I am doing to make sure this film comes out just the way I wanted it too. Today we will discuss about how I had made sure I got my props ready to make sure I could start filming. From the initial showing of my script in a previous blog to checking out each film spot, every step is planned to make sure that there is proper immersion for the audience.  I leave no stone unturned into make sure that we have every prop we need down and down to the finest detail . To me the props are not just set pieces but important components that will uplift the storytelling and bring the film to life. Here is a couple of props I will use to make sure my storytelling is compelling and attentive to the audience. I will make sure to buy a soccer ball prop and as well gloves. These are items that soccer players are known for using during matches and are appropriate props to be using to make sure it looks realistic

Production Blog: Scoping Scenery Out

Good Morning and welcome to my first production blog of the month. So Today I did not do any filming as I am still scoping out the scenery for where to film my blog at. I have already checked out Holiday park and everything seems great and up to date and it does not seem like anything is stopping me from filming at the park. I have also found a perfect location within the park to film, so I am set for a couple of scenes for my film. I also went to the other house down around Miami, it seems like I don't have a problem filming there right now but the only struggle will to find time to head down to Miami other than that the location of that area of filming is good. I also went around my neighborhood to make sure nothing is stopping me from filming me in this area and when I checked everything turned out well. So I am safe to say that I can start filming my project. I want to be able to film in these areas without any complications because if anything happens then I would be stuck wit
