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

Editing review

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so listen its Asiah! So although I have not acquired all the clips neccaassy for my movie but I have gotten enough . The editing process has not been the easiest, because although I have edited before I have never done a movie. So, I have been having to research on how to do such a thing. I have gone to multiple websites and browsers such as YouTube. To help be find a solution for my conundrum so with all this research I set off. I started off on the editing sooner than I had scheduled but I had to decide which application I was going to use for this. But then I decided that I should just stick with what I know and use the system in which I had been using before.So I began editing my comedy thriller it was like juggling laughs and suspense – a quirky adventure in the editing room. My job? Turn chaos into a rollercoaster of emotions. Pacing is my superhero cape, creating a rhythm that keeps the audience guessing. Sound editing becomes this pla

Hows the editing going?

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah, so listen its Asiah! Today I am eager to unravel the complexities of the often underestimated editing phase in my filmmaking journey. Initially assuming this stage would seamlessly follow the capture of shots, I have found myself confronted with unforeseen challenges, transforming this process into an intricate dance of creativity and precision. Editing serves as an immersion into an entirely new dimension, as the transfer of hours of footage to the computer unfolds like decoding an unfamiliar language. The seemingly straightforward act of dragging and dropping clips, portrayed in tutorials, has proven to be more complex in practice. Meticulous precision in timing has emerged as a significant hurdle. Syncing audio and achieving optimal pacing resembles a delicate dance, with each cut and transition presenting the challenge of fitting ever-changing puzzle pieces together. The intricacies of sound have become a focal point of realization. The

Filming is still happening?!

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah, so listen its Asiah! I've got to spill the tea on the filming saga that's been testing my patience. So, I thought diving into the world of filmmaking would be a breeze, but reality hit hard – this process is taking way longer than I ever expected. Setting up the camera? It's like decoding a secret language. Buttons, settings, lenses – it's not just about pointing and shooting; it's a tech puzzle, and I'm still figuring it out. Choosing the right location became a quest, and I thought my house, specifically my room, would be a quick fix. But, oh boy, getting everything set up turned into a mini-drama of its own. Lighting issues, framing struggles – it's like my room decided to throw me a curveball. And let's talk about time. I thought I'd breeze through this, but filming scenes, getting the angles right, retakes – it's a whole production. I'm learning the hard way that each scene is a meticulous pro

Continuation of filming!

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so listen its! I'm ready to spill the beans on the emotional rollercoaster that is my filmmaking journey. So, let's rewind a bit and talk about setting up the camera – a task that felt like entering a tech labyrinth. Buttons, lenses, settings – it's a different language, and I was definitely not fluent. Amidst the chaos, I found solace in the creative process, learning to appreciate the beauty of trial and error. The camera, once an enigma, started to feel like an extension of my artistic expression. My room, transformed into a stage, became a canvas for emotions and memories to unfold. Choosing where to film became a saga in itself. My house emerged as the chosen arena, more specifically, my room. But it's not just about aesthetics; it's about weaving emotions into every shot, turning the space into a visual storyteller. As I grappled with the technicalities and emotional nuances, another curveball came my way – simultane

Filming started!

 Hello and welcome back to listen its Asiah so listen its Asiah! Today with filming I was try to figure out how to set up the camera as it was one of my first times using a camera such as this. To my familiarty it is a canon camera. For reminder I was using a camera from my dad. I was deciding on where to put my it because I was feeling conflicted about the location of where to film. As I was deciding on if I wanted to change if but I think I just finally settled on my house. So, the plan was to start filming inside my room and get those scenes filmed as majority of the scenes are where everything is located. But after deciding that I realized I could not start filming as I did not know my lines. As the camera stood ready, I realized I couldn't start filming without knowing what to say. So, I hit pause and dived into a thorough review of the script. This, however, wasn't a straightforward task. I'm currently knee-deep in rehearsals for another production, adding a layer of
