  This is the finale work it took some time and it worked there might be a issue due too me using copyright music.

Editing

Image
 I will learn how to edit as I going and go back and fix mistakes I made. I learn to edit and everything. As I was editing I needed to find ways to fix issues and have it flow right. Still the thing I was editing with was it the best but not bad. It was fun finding ways to edit and to put what I was thinking in my mind on to film it was still hard. There a major learning curve to it when you get to it. When editing something funny happen the music lined up with the film when I reenter the frame which was really funny to me. Now knowing basic editing I may on my own time learn more types of editing for fun. When seeing the finale product and it is different from what I spoken before that is due to the film from the first shoot not beaning playing on my laptop or it not feeling right. Most of the footage was behind the scene talk or not even being a video to watch in the first place. I still had fun with filming it though and I will learn from that for the next time I do this. When I mea

had to scrap footage

Image
 I check the videos I recorded last night and it wasn't good enough to be used but I do have an idea I might try after doing this blog. The idea is the inverse of a classic way to open a movie it was still fun filming. I had film it and I will edit it tomorrow was it is very late at night. What I saw was just a grey screen playing audio were on my phone it played the video and audio which really bugged me as I tried to send the footage from my phone into my laptop but due to it being on Google photos it is not save in my phone's storage. I did try having it work but it won't but still a learning experiences on thing I learned was to make sure the camera was filming and not taking photos.  I did at first thanked the footage was okay that night but after seeing it with fresh eyes and not tired ones I saw the flaws in it and the troubles they can endure original I intended the footage to be a long shot with cuts to the characters to give a nice transition to there meeting but

camera work and filming

Image
 I want the camera to have close ups, over shoulder pans to really have a tension in the moment to confuse people have them dumbfounded by such things and many more things with how a camera can be used. Filming went well for the most part in one long take and sadly I was unable to get the shots I wanted but is it okay I'll make due. The footage I had appear to be good but I will check tomorrow to make sure they are good if not I may have to refilm or do other idea I had. I still don't want the get ready opening it is to over used and unoriginal there is way to use it but I don't want to. I learn to make sure to check if it is filming but it is okay I filmed it really late I think lighting will be an issued. The idea is a person going to bed I will explain more if I need to scrap the footage, but that is in the future. Filming was fun as I was in an alleyway between a Five guys and a Regal movie theater so that was fun. There was a real knife but I did taped over it I think

some filming issues

 Due to some issues filming will be tomorrow that is all for today. Today some of the people I need getting home late and me needed to do some reworking on the script so we push it back to tomorrow night to film. Any way some personal news my family got a puppy name Deuce he is a French bull dog and my family got him for free so we did not to pay $3,000 for him so that was nice. The work I need to do on the script was some rewording to feel natural and real. My goal is to give the audience fun but relatable to the characters in the movie as I know it is important to relate to a character in a movie more for comedies. I feel though a lot of current comedies are just not relatable in some way. A person can make a comedy unrelatable but the plot of the comedy was to be absurd but the characters have to take it serious to make it funny, it the movie Airplane everything that happens in the movie is Absurd but the characters act serious on what happened which made it funny but were the movie

script rework

Image
Sorry for noting blogging yesterday and the day before but My family just a new dog, but today I just some work no the script to feel more natural and less scripted and more as a really station but it being a comedy as it is to be some what fake but I get the idea. My plan is also to learn to perform in front of a camera and relax to feel natural. I learn how to write but still need improvement. That is all for today. Oh yeah tomorrow will be film day. I know their might be some touch ups on the script, but I'll do it before I start filming tomorrow. I have been having fun writing the script as I never did something like it before and I have my characters say want I want them to say in the scene and not suffer with bad writing. I enjoy writing and learning how to write movie scripts. I fear going in front of the camera as I never really have done stuff like this before. I don't know what I'm doing but I'm just free balling it as I go. I know some what to do but most of

Script fixing and updates

Image
 I will after this blog will be improving my script to feel more real and less script dialogue. In other news my parents are getting stuff for a new dog my family is getting. I plan to get something cheap to edit on as my laptop can't use most editing software which is annoying for me. I like the story I'm doing I think I may steal it for myself in the future. Why is spoken English so different to written English for example in spoken people use words so differently to their definition when talking, but when written it is wrong. I see way writers protested against AI writing a bit more now I supported them but I get it now writing scripts are hard and people should be payed for it and respected. I'm have Alan Smithee as one of the people who made the film as a reference to the name and the old film industry as a whole. I love doing this on my own as what I say goes no matter what I will make sure it will go well. I can't wait to start filming as it will be a great time

Working alone

Image
 I told my partner that I will be doing this alone and it release a weight on shoulders. I'm still scared to start filming the movie. I will try my best to have be good but I haven't found a editing software wait. I will tomorrow try to find editing software and maybe do some custom design for the characters also get some props for the film. I have an idea on what the characters looks like, but can't describe it in my mind but can see. Editing the film will be the hardest part as I haven't edit a video before so it would truly be difficult. I'm going to rewrite the script to sound natural and not clunky to pervert the audience being pulled out of the world. All of this to have the story feel real and not fictional at all. I do hope it goes well as I haven't heard from the company on being allowed to use the music. If I use the music I want to use without permission my video could be taken down or I could get suited by the business for using the song. I don't

Preproduction: script writing

Image
 I wrote a script but due to some pacing issues I had to rewrite some of it to work. As I rewrite it I also rework the story a little bit for it to work better. The plot of the film is a man is robbed of his rent money and has only a month to make the money back. I'm still waiting to get the rights to a song. I had to connect many people to getting the rights to use the song. I currently have an emotional dilemma I need to get over quickly. I can't tell my friend the truth about this project. I still do hope this goes well and is great. I don't know what to do now as I'm supposed to work alone but I don't want my partner to fail just so I can pass. I'm going to have to tell them but I'm too scared to. As I do this I'll learn how to write, film, sound, and video editing which could help me in the long run. I truly don't know what to do know as I'm unable to to lie and try not hurt people which wrecks me inside. I will try to tell them but afraid t
