Hey guys and welcome back! We've finished our final task. Hope you enjoy!

Hey, there bloggers. Welcome back. Today I'm going to be talking about this whole process and wrapping it up. I'm so grateful for the people who stuck their necks out to help in this project. In full honesty, this wasn't as easy as I thought. I know I'm not the best when it comes to filming which seriously did stress me out at some point. Things weren't going the way we planned. When it came to recording, little issues came out and some people weren't always in the best mood. It was more difficult to get some people to cooperate. Many weren't as truthful when it came to scheduling so finding a time was pretty rough when we found out we had to refilm some clips. When it comes to the settings, it worked out great. The vivid colors and dynamic scenery further elevated the visual appeal of our film. Yes, the beach was windy and the audio was stressful to fix but the backgrounds set the idea. I changed the brightness and contrast of our clips along with some othe

 Hey bloggers. Welcome back. I've got a new update. I've been trying to edit for the past few days, and it's been difficult. There were many scenes my group and I didn't feel comfortable using. Some shots weren't as clear or the sound could have been better. We did end up running into the issue with the wind which I brought up in the past blog. CapCut gave me the feature to enhance or isolate voices which canceled out background noise. Thankfully it worked since we couldn't get some specific people together as the group again to refilm. Adding dates to the bottom left corner of their dates throughout summer would get the story across. I ended up adding a sound effect to Noah's voiceover. When I extracted the audio, it sounded too strong and choppy in a sense. There were multiple options but I decided to stick with the "cave" sound effect. It gets the idea across when Dalilah reads the letter. At first, we wanted to add an overlay of Noah and Dalila

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Today, I'll be discussing the initial editing process for our Final Task. After gathering all the footage from my group members, I organized it into one album and imported it into our editing app. Before diving into title designing, I focused on creating rough edits to ensure a cohesive draft of the Final Task. This involved eliminating bloopers, poor quality clips, and unnecessary footage. Once the rough draft was complete, I began learning how to incorporate effects. Despite initially struggling and watching numerous tutorials, I gradually improved my editing skills. Although there's still more editing to be done and additional parts to film, I'm determined to continue learning and refining my techniques. Experimenting with the editing tools was challenging, but each attempt brought me closer to mastery. As I familiarized myself with the software, I discovered new ways to enhance the footage. The process of refining the rough draft

 Hey, there bloggers! Welcome back. I've got an update. Noah, Dalilah, Stella, and I decided to meet up to film date scenes. The girls met up at Stella's house to get ready after school. We decided to film a retake of the letter scene because the angles looked off and didn't line up correctly. Dalilah had a hard time at first keeping a straight face but it eventually worked out towards the end. At least for the most part. After a while, we got everything to look the way we wanted. When Noah came, I sat out with him so that we could record him reading the note. The reason for that was so I could use his voice and create a voiceover that we could play, as Dalilah would read. I went onto Capcut quick and checked to see if there were any effects I could put river his voice. If I didn't find anything, It would've sounded very choppy and wouldn't fit whatsoever. I used the "Cave" effect and it sounded so much better. Once we finished with that, we packed a c

 Hey bloggers! Welcome back! We recently went to film at Fort Lauderdale Beach and it was difficult, to say the least. The beach was packed since it's now spring break for many schools. There was so much going on. We originally planned the beach because this is a summerbased video so we didn't want to change it. In the past couple of years, it gets crazy, but not like this. It took us so long to find an area that was empty (for the most part) and clean. Many people have left things around on the beach that aren't necessarily appropriate to be left in the background of our shots. It took us a while to find everyone and get situated but we managed to. As we got things together, we realized how windy it was and our biggest fear of the wind picking up in the audio came true. Once we played some of the clips we shot, you couldn't hear anyone's voice and it would've been so weird to voiceover it because it wouldn't have made sense. We didn't know what to do be
