                   Hello there  my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be discussing the changes we made to our video due to the peer review I had with Bella.  Today was our final time meeting up to film! Today, we are fixing our mistakes and creating a smooth video. First , we tackled the comment on the busyness of the park scene. Peyton wasn’t familiar with Marissa and I's neighborhood, at the start of this whole project so this was all new to her. Marissa offered a good idea of going to their public community pool just down the street, and since it was cold outside, no one would be there to see me and Riley in our toddler costumes again .     For the pool scene, this was our easiest scene to film yet. At first Marissa had me and riley sit on the direct opposite side of the pool, but as Peyton started to film, she saw they were a bit further from the camera than I wanted. To fix this, she had us sit diagonally across the corner of the pool, so it was still a wide

                Hello there  my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be talking about  To pick up where I left off, Peyton thought about what best place to start other than the beginning. To prepare for her endeavor, she pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote down the order in which the titles appear in the film industry, and next to it who belonged to what title. This way, we could keep track of who goes with what and stay in the correct order.   Peyton began with the “Studios Presents” title, which she wanted to have floating around in the pool as our first title. For this title, we all agreed on the name R.P.M.M. Studios, which were our initials in no specific order, just the way that sounded best. She tried to make the words float around using keyframes, but she was not a fan of how they were moving. It looked too fake and stiff, which is usually the effect of using keyframes to try to stop motion edit something. Peyton tried to search for an animation preset that would

                   Hello there  my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be talking about how I got someone to peer review me and my groups final task video!  Now that we had a finished product, it was time to get some constructive criticism! For this I had my best friend Bella because she came over to my house to watch us film. So, she was there for majority of the good parts and the mess ups. I asked her about her comments on the content of our scenes and her first comment was that the toddler scenes at the park were very busy . What she meant by this was that there were a lot of people in the background, and it was distracting from the eerie feeling we were aiming for. She suggested that we replace this scene with a different location . Which was completely understandable as there were lots of people in the background. Her next criticism was that she did not realize that Marissa and me were supposed to be sisters in the plot, and that the script did not make that relati

                        Hello there  my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be discussing how the editing process went.  For the editing, Peyton wanted to split it up into two sessions: Scenes and audio, and titles and miscellaneous- but equally as important- elements. So, because the titles cannot go on without a base, she began promptly on putting the scenes together .     She began this process by inserting the beginning five scenes so as not to overwhelm the timeline yet. These were the skipping, pool, bedroom, chalk, and picture wall scenes. She clipped the edges off the skipping's back-facing shot so that the middle part with maximum movement and easy continuation into the front-facing shot would remain. She repeated this process with the front-facing clip and played it to make sure the clips connected well, which they did. For both clips, I liked the diegetic sounds of the environment and their movement, so she did not fully lower the volume on them.    Next, s
