Hey! So we’ve started to edit the footage for our final project. Even though we still have more filming to do, just so we know where we stand and what else we need to film. As I previously mentioned, I used “cinematic mode” on my iPhone to shoot our videos. While it looks so good, very high quality, this has proven to be an issue. It is extremely hard to export such footage, as it is so high in storage. I tried texting it to myself, emailing it, airdropping it. No technique I could think of seemed to work. I eventually asked my dad for help, and he came up with an idea. I felt kind of silly, it had been staring me right in the face: how to get footage from my phone onto my computer? Simply plug my phone into my computer! Of course! That proved to be extremely effective. I was able to make a folder filled with all of our footage up to this point. Then, I imported each clip into the iMovie app on my computer. This is the third project for this class where I am using iMovie. Each tim...
Hey! So on Saturday, Amelie, Isaac, and Lilly visited my house. We met up at about 10:30 am. Amelie arrived at 10, so I showed her the props I had been working on the night before. They looked excellent! I “made” three books by printing out book jackets that would fit well. I also wrote a title on a Sharpie pen, as we had planned. But, it did not turn out at all how I had wanted it to. I was extremely disappointed. So, when Amelie got to my house, I asked her advice and we decided to make two friendship bracelets for the last needed title. They needed to describe that “Sammie Burton” was the executive producer. So we made one bracelet that said “EXEC PROD” which equated to “executive producer” and another one that had two layers. The top layer said “SAMMIE” and the bottom layer said “BURTON.” After spilling the beads a few times, which I was extremely frustrated with, I finished the bracelet! It was only when I put it on Amelie’s hand that I realized I had misspelled the name. In...
Hey! Our group has done so much planning and we are finally ready to make moves! The first thing we started with on our final task was music. To start, we all looked through our Spotify playlists, trying to think of anything that would fit our movie. After some time, one of us finally suggested we use the Radiohead song, “Everything in Its Right Place.” It seemed like a perfect fit for our concept. And after talking to my dad about it, that was even more confirmed. The song was written to depict themes of depression, confusion, and trying to find a place in the world. There are very similar themes within our movie! Amelie got to work right away, we found as many people related to Radiohead as possible. We reached out on every platform. This includes email, Instagram, and Twitter. After some waiting time, Amelie was written back! She got a message back from Colin Greenwood’s Instagram account. We couldn’t believe it! He said he would help us get the rights to the song for ou...
