 This is the final result of our video project. I hope you enjoy.

 Hello and welcome back to my blog. As of last you heard our group had to re-film many of our scenes in our video. We were able to complete this in one day. Although we also had to re-edit many scenes as well. This process took another day. Although because we had done this multiple time before it has become a increasingly shorter process. We also had to edit our script. This was due to adjustments made while we were filming. We felt these changes would add to and benefit the video as a whole. The reshooting process turned out to be more efficient than expected, and we successfully re-filmed all the necessary scenes in just one day. Editing became the next challenge, as we had to meticulously review and adjust numerous scenes to ensure a seamless and polished final product. Despite the additional work, the experience gained from previous projects has significantly shortened the time needed for both filming and editing. Our team's adaptability shone through as we made on-the-spot ad

 Hello and welcome back to my blog. While rewatching our video we realized that our group member Alex D had a school shirt on. This was a great mistake. Due to this we will have to re-film many of our scenes. This was a very unfortunate mistake. But we plan to learn from it in the end. Because of our busy schedules we will have to film after school. This also forces my group to miss their sports practice. Although this is a necessary sacrifice. The realization about Alex D's school shirt was quite unexpected and caught us by surprise during the video review process. We understand the importance of maintaining a consistent and professional appearance in our video, hence the decision to re-film the scenes affected by the mistake. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and this experience has taught us to be more thorough and detail-oriented in our future video productions. Despite the setback, we are determined to turn this situation into a positive learning opportunity for the e

Welcome back to the blog, today we're discussing the peer editing feedback we received. Initially, we considered having someone we knew critique our movie but feared bias. To ensure impartiality, we decided to approach a complete stranger in our class for feedback. We deliberately provided no prior information about the movie to ensure an unbiased opinion. Our chosen classmate started with positive feedback, stating the movie was good. Initial critique focused on the plot, with praise for its coherence and suitability for comedy. Emotions in the movie were well-conveyed through music and interactions, according to the feedback. The classmate appreciated the title screen's transition from excitement to immediate boredom. The instant silence after entering the house resonated humorously with the viewer's personal experiences. Foreshadowing was acknowledged, adding an element of anticipation for the classmate. The critique moved to the board game scene, noting that the acting

Welcome back to my blog, today was dedicated to selecting the music for our movie. Our collective aim was to find music that aligned with the comedic tone we wanted to convey. Alex D's suggestion of "Orange soda" by Baby Keem was considered, but deemed inappropriate. Nathaniel then proposed an upbeat rock song, "Thunderstruck" by ACDC, but it didn't quite fit. However, Nathaniel's discovery of a chilled online beat for the title screen was well-received. The song "Beat it" by Michael Jackson was suggested by Alex D and liked by the group. We faced a hurdle when we realized legal permission was needed for the copyrighted "Beat it. To explore options while saving time, we brainstormed other music ideas for the montage. I suggested the popular and funny "elevator music" beat, widely used in social media videos. Since it had no official creator and wouldn't require permission, it became a favorable choice. Time constraints played

Today marked the completion of our movie editing journey. We resumed editing from where we left off, focusing on the montage scene of searching for fun. Compiling acquired clips into a single clip, we adjusted their durations for video efficiency. Elevator music was added to enhance the montage scene, as previously mentioned in a blog. Satisfied with the result, we proceeded to revisit the title screen, incorporating Nathaniel's chosen mellow beat. However, we encountered a challenge finding the exact beat, settling for a similar one in Cap Cut. Despite the change, the new music still conveyed the desired mellow and fun atmosphere. Watching the edited movie, we collectively enjoyed the progress and cohesion. Having completed the more recent clips, we maintained our editing momentum to stay on schedule. The focus shifted to the final clip involving the discovery of alcohol in a secret cupboard. This scene included dialogue, which we cut and inserted to finalize the movie. During a r
