Intro Blog A level Media

Image
 Hello everyone!! It feels so exciting to be back blogging again! I honestly missed it more than I realized. There's something uniquely satisfying about sharing thoughts, ideas, and creative sparks with an audience. Over the past few months, I’ve felt the pull to write again, to dive into new projects, and to explore fresh perspectives. Blogging has always been a space where I can express my thoughts in an unfiltered way, and that’s something I’ve really craved. Looking ahead, I’m thrilled about all the new ideas I’ve been brainstorming. There are so many exciting directions I want to take, from exploring lesser-known genres of film to experimenting with different writing styles. I’ve missed diving deep into the creative process, finding new ways to connect with people through my words. I can’t wait to revisit topics I’m passionate about and share them in new, dynamic formats. I’m also excited about the collaborations that lie ahead. It’s so inspiring to think about the people I’ll...

Group Blog

 Hi Everyone its Natalie, I am happy to announce to be working with Janiah, Nijiah, and Callie. It’s such a fresh and energizing experience to collaborate with a talented team. I’ve always loved working solo; there’s a certain freedom in creating by yourself. But now, having the chance to bounce ideas off each other feels like a whole new level of creativity. Each of them brings something unique to the table, and I’m already learning so much. The brainstorming sessions are full of new perspectives, and it’s inspiring. I can’t wait to see where this collaboration takes us. It’s a chance to grow, not just as an individual, but as part of a team. Being back blogging feels amazing. I really missed it – the process, the writing, and especially connecting with readers. After some time away, I’m more excited than ever to jump back in. There are so many new ideas and directions I want to explore. I’m thrilled about diving into new genres of film and creative writing. There’s so much out th...

Almost done with everything!

Image
    Hi everyone! It’s Natalie, after everything and all the hard work done by actors and myself it has finally come to an end where only small little remarks and tweaks need to be fixed on the video. But, I am truly grateful for all the help I received towards this project as the product I have as of right now is remarkable and truly impressive. While reviewing the project and showing my peers I made sure to take notes and listen to the comments they made to find the things that can benefit the project. One of my classmates Jordan while reviewing the video helped to take notice to the things I missed while editing like the volume of the background music I had added  as well as the sound of the effects I added as well. As one of the main things I did was putting all those background noises specially to have that tension and horror sort of build up. As I want people to sort of be on the edge of their seats and sort of just waiting for what comes next. As it is a thriller/ho...

The Final cuts

Image
   Hi everyone! It’s Natalie, and in today’s blog, I want to talk about the editing process surrounding the film itself. As we know I did incorporate a lot of different effects and everything having to do with the sounds. As I felt it would've given more to the film as emotion for the audience to really get that feel. Now one of the main parts of the film that was one of the most challenging had to be the beginning scene of Luna waking up and having that important scene with Robin. Reason being that I had to figure out a way to slow down this part of the scene as I felt the actors were moving and talking too fast. By which in the scene as well the Luna is walking up and like normal while we wake up normally we feel a little sluggish and I wanted It to look like that.Now the editing software I used was CapCut and with that I figured out a way to slow down the clip by 5.6 seconds then the original speeding point. And with that I had to make sure that the voice wasn't slowed too ...

Filming Blog: Almost there

Image
    Hi everyone! It’s Natalie, and in today’s blog, we are going do be discussing us FINALLY FILMING. So with that being said to start of it was for sure a very memorable and fun experience . We start off by filming the scenes where Stella wouldn't need to be covered in blood because e'd look crazy filming in barns and nobles like that. The first scenes we filmed I doing so were the scenes we had between Isa and Rin. So that was the outside scenes where Rin would be honking towards the house and Isa running towards the car. Which then lead us to filming the car scenes as we had to drive to Barnes and Nobles eventually. Which took as a couple times as we had to measure the distance we had Rin drive and the right time to raise the music that was on queue. Which Rin and I chose to be Boys don't cry by the cure. So with that we went odd to barnes and nobles. I shot a scene of Isa and Rin walking in and then lead to Isa filming a jump scare since with Isa. And here we we made su...
