It’s Sunday we’re almost done filming! Today I woke up at 10:50 in the morning, which is kinda bad because we were trying to filmed around 11:30. David texted the group around 9, that he was available to film from 9 to 1:30. I said that I was ready whenever. 20 minutes later Teo said that he was able to film also. David then said he going to pick up Teo around 12. Teo made sure to wear the same clothes from last time. When David and Teo got to my house we immediately started to look at the script and add ideas since david had to leave in a hour. After we reviewed the script we went straight to filming. We continued from where we left off at. Today most of the filming was in the kitchen and living room. The scene we first filmed was me attacking Teo. We then filmed Teo running towards the door and trying to open it up. We filmed this like 12 times. Mainly because Teo couldn’t get the key and turn right. The other times it was just to get a different angle. After that David filmed me wal

Today me and my group continued to film for our film “The Lull.” This morning I woke up around 8 in the morning to give me time to eat and get ready for David and Teo to come over. Around 11 David texted us that he would pick up Teo around 11:25. During that time I made sure everything was how it looked last time we filmed. I made sure the lighting was the same and Teo wore the same thing. When David and Teo arrived we talked about what we did last time and what could be added to the script. After about 15 minutes, David wrote up the script for today and I changed into the suit that Teo brought for my role. When David finished with the script we recorded the kitchen to the how the lighting was and if we needed to turn the brightness on my phone. After that we shot some scenes and tried to use some techniques and tricks. Some didn’t work out and some did. After a while we went outside since the lighting in my house was low and we needed some sunlight. We filmed me running behind Teo mul

After filming the car scenes, I went to import them into the film. I opened Adobe Premiere Pro to begin editing the opening sequence for my detective film. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about 3 years now years now. I moved the clips into my "video" category. I then went through every video and decided which should be part of the first minute and what might be excluded. I then put the selected videos into the timeline and put those videos aligned in the order they needed to be. After that, I cut the videos to make the film flow better. After the clips of me are fully done I watch them over and see if the videos need any fixing up. After that, I make sure that the video flows, like how a movie would.  I experimented with adding transitions between clips. Which helped create a smooth visual experience. I adjusted the audio levels of the dialogue and sound effects for clarity and balance. Even after that I had to take away some of the clips that we filmed. I showed t

Last weekend, I decided to film just in case my group needed my more scene to include. This because the due date for this film was coming up in about 3 weeks. At this point I just decided to film even if it didn't make the cut. I woke up around 8:30 and told parents and grandparents before hand that I was filming. I ate some breakfast and brushed my teeth. I also had the suit Teo gave me and changed into it. I then went to my car. I grab my phone, eager to shoot the opening scene for my detective film project. I head outside and climb into my car, picturing it as a sleek detective's vehicle. I prop my phone on the passenger seat, using a book or case to hold it upright. I check the frame, making sure the lens captures the street scene in front of me.  I pull out of the driveway, keeping an eye on the road. I cruise down the street, the camera capturing the passing scenery. I keep my gaze sharp, scanning the sidewalks and storefronts for potential leads. I occasionally tap the b

So the plan to film this weekend didn't work out. After filming last last week, my group planned to film during the week and weekend. After discussing with my group we decided that film the school wasn't going to work out. David, was at Latinos in Action, catching up with APUSH work, and working out. Teo was busy with SAT tutoring and doing homework. I was busy with homework, staying after school for clubs, and was volunteering. When it came to Thursday we checked in with each to see if we were free free and everyone said yes. When Friday came around I let my group know that I wasn't volunteering this weekend, and that we can film either Saturday or Sunday. David told me that Saturday works for him. Teo said he was hanging out with his friends. So we said Sunday was the best idea. During this time my grandparents were painting the tv room, which made them move the stuff in there to the living room, which is where we film. On Friday I mentioned that and I'll let them kno
