Editing

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so, listen its Asiah! During the editing process of this I was a little touch and go for a second. As when I was filming my camera died to I had to switch to a phone because there was no time to charge to camera as I had already been filming for 3 hours prior. This has to do with my editing because I was scared that there was gonna be a difference I quality between the two but everything was okay. I did all of my editing on a tablet using the same platforms that I have been using since the beginning CapCut and video maker. I mainly used video maker as I am more familiar with this app as I use it to edit my non school related films. One of the reasons I used CapCut was because it was the only way I knew how to get the music I wanted. What happens is i go on to Tiktok and I get a video with the music that I want to use in full. Then I go through a process that extracts the music from the video and that's how I'm able to get the music. D

How the people felt seeing my film(review)

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so, listen it's Asiah! In this blog I will be talking about my peer review changes as I talked about in my last blog. I had shown a couple people my video, this including family and friends. Once I showed it to my friends their initial reaction which was over all great. I was able to hit an emotional nerve which was good because it was the point. This was because over the emotional scenes that's were placed. When the feed back from this part was overall great but they did have so minor tweaks involving sound. There is overlapping in a bit so the recommended I clear up the sound. What I did with this comment was I placed the clips overlapping so that they were fading in and out and not all appearing on the screen at once. So they each developed on the screen one by one on there own. The feedback on how characters were developed led to a deeper look into why they do what they do and how they relate to each other, which made the story mo

Sound?!

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so,  listen Asiah! Choosing the right sound for our movie sequence was a real challenge. After scrolling through tons of options, I decided to go with a catchy TikTok song to avoid any copyright issues. It was all about setting the mood without getting into legal trouble. The struggle to find a balance between a cool soundtrack and staying within the copyright-safe zone was real. TikTok songs are lowkey perfect for this – trendy, catchy, and no worries about tracing back to copyrighted material. The fear of facing copyright drama is just too much, you know? Plus, it's a win-win – our movie gets a cool vibe, and we dodge any potential legal headaches. I can already imagine the audience nodding along to the beat. It's like creating a cinematic experience while slyly sidestepping copyright concerns. In the end, it's all about those good vibes and avoiding those legal vibes, if you catch my drift. Finding the right soundtrack is an ar

Overwhelmed!

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so, listen its Asiah! Navigating the challenges of being a one-person crew for a movie has been like riding a rollercoaster. Balancing the roles of multiple characters demands mental gymnastics, pushing the boundaries of creativity. With no budget, improvisation becomes the name of the game. DIY costumes and borrowed props transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Lack of financial resources means embracing simplicity, making the most of available equipment. Meticulous planning is crucial for every shot, turning limited resources into assets. Grand special effects take a backseat to a focus on raw, independent filmmaking. Wearing multiple hats – actor, director, cinematographer. Makes the process a daunting but fulfilling experience. Professional crews and elaborate sets become a distant dream, replaced by the raw and unfiltered essence of independent filmmaking. Even though they were already a dream with this being well, still a s
