Filming at my house

 I started filming on January 29 as I planned on my schedule. The first place being filmed is at my house. I'm filming the beginning scenes of the opening sequence. I first filmed an establishing shot before doing the acting scenes. This was easy to film. I stood outside of my house using my iPhone x and filmed an establishing shot of my house. After, I began filming the first scene which takes place in the bedroom. I'm the actor in the opening sequence so, my sister is filming the shots for me while I act. The first thing I did for acting was laying on my bed and pretending to read a book. After doing the shot which took five minutes. I moved to the next one where I checked my phone because I was getting a call. I answered the call but, I had to stand still because this scene had an over-shoulder shot. After those shots were being filmed, I did a dialogue of me talking to someone on the phone. This took a couple tries to do because I kept messing up the script. This was the hardest that had to be filmed on this day because, when recording the conversation on the phone the audio wouldn't get picked up, so, I had to keep redoing it many times until I could hear the conversation on the phone. This took around 35 minutes or more to do. Next time I should have just done a voice-over when editing it to make it easier and make the audio clearer. That was all that I did for filming on this day. It took about an hour and thirty minutes to get all these shots. I started at three pm and ended at four thirty-six pm. Thank you for reading see you in the next blog bye!

Finding music and adding it to the opening sequence

 On February 28 I was finding the music to use for my opening sequence. For my opening sequence, I needed to use copyright-free music. I was able to find some on YouTube that were copyright-free by searching for them. I needed to find an upbeat and cheerful song to use for the beginning of the opening sequence when the main character is listening to music. So, the first thing I searched for was copyright-free music for pop. The song that I found and used was Royalty Free uploaded by a YouTube channel that allows them to use their music as long as you give them credit. I used the "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel's "Crazy About You" song for the beginning of my opening sequence. Another song that I used that was able to be free was "Mystery 7 Suspense Background Music for Films & Documentaries" by the YouTube channel "LVKEHOUSE" which allows anyone to use these sounds without any copyright claims. To find the mysterious sound effects I w...

Doing a film review + adding changes to it

 On March 11 I had my sister do a film review of my opening sequence. My sister reviewed it and said that she liked the beginning shot and the music chosen for the beginning of the opening sequence. However, she did make a few suggestions to change the lightning to make it have a more mysterious vibe. So, one of the first changes I made was to adjust the lighting to darker. To do this I clicked on my opening sequence went to the bottom of the options and chose "adjust". With these options, I was able to adjust my lighting to make it have a more mysterious vibe. She also suggested to increase the volume of the main character talking because she couldn't understand what she said in the opening sequence. I went into CapCut to fix these by increasing the volume on the parts where the main character is speaking. To do this I clicked on the audio of the scene where she was talking and there was an option to increase the volume so, I just adjusted the volume to higher to make su...
