Editing and Finalizing


I started off by just adding the videos together to create them into one. This was easy since I already had experience from last year. The hard part came when I had to add the sounds over top of the video. I thought this would be fairly easy since I had some prior experience with this before. However, it did not go as smoothly as I thought it would go. I had issues because the sound would either be too loud or too quiet. I knew what I had to do was to put the sound of "Honey, dinner's ready" over the video. I thought I could just make the underlying video silent. However, it ended up sounding too fake when everything in the background was silent and there was just the sound of the mom talking. I then thought I could increase the sound of the video a little bit but not too much so there would be some background noise, but so the audience couldn't hear me giving the little girl cues. I couldn't figure out how to do this easily so it sounded regular, it would always end up sounding off. I sent the video off to Addison and asked her if she could do it. She said she could easily fix this and took the task into her own hands. After she was done with this last part, the film was done. My group and I decided to show some people before we submitted the video and finalized it. This was so any confusing aspects or mistakes that were caught by the viewers could be fixed. When we did this, little mistakes did end up being caught by the audience. One person said that one of the first shots should be changed because it didn't fit the "creepy" mood. This was taken into consideration and my group and I switched the shot used in the intro so it would be better fitting for the film. After this and some other small issues were changed and fixed, the film was done and ready

Introduction

Hello, my name is Mila Rakic and I am a student attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently 16 years old and in my junior year of high school. I decided to take this class again because I really enjoy filmmaking for fun. Ever since I was little I've always been fascinated with people filming and editing videos to create amazing finished products. I used to spend a lot of time as a kid on YouTube and on T.V. watching different people, places, and things. This interest in film has only gotten stronger the past two years with me being quarantined in my house due to COVID-19 in 2020. I would watch a lot of YouTube videos on my laptop to cure my boredom, and many of those videos are usually made by kids my age. Having nothing to do anyway, I turned to filming and editing videos of myself as well, creating sort of knock-off YouTube videos. I filmed many things, ranging from daily vlogs, videos of me doing my makeup, videos of my practicing volleyball, and the list goes on and o

  Day 1: On 9/29/2021 we began filming clips for the first time. We agreed to use my phone because it had the best camera. After this, we decided to go to the courtyard first because there were fewer people there. This way, it would be easier to not get others in our shots. One of the shots we filmed was an over-the-shoulder shot where Nicole, acting as a little girl, opened the lunchbox to reveal the post-it note. We were going to film this shot on the ground in an area in the shade but decided not to. We agreed that by filming her sitting at a table in the sun, we would get better lighting and a nicer, higher angle. Since this was the first shot we filmed, we had to refilm it a couple times until we got the hang of it. By the third try though, we understood how everything was going to work and we knew exactly what to do. For another shot, Violet was going to play a little boy at Nicole's school. We used my oversized green jacket to dress Violet in so she resembled more of a boy.

I was so excited to finally film today and bring my group's and my ideas to life. The plan was for Violet, Dara, and I to all go to Addison's house after school that day. Addison wouldn't need a ride there because she had stayed home that day. This was exactly what my group and I did. However, before going right to Addison's house after school, Violet, Dara, and I realized we needed to go to a store quickly to get some missing props. My group and I  decided to go to Target because it was close to the school and had everything that was needed. After talking and texting with everyone, it was decided that Dara, Violet, and I would look for a cake and a rope. My group and I also decided to look for a large spoon since barbies are miniature versions of people, so pairing a large spoon would help bring that out to viewers. When Violet, Dara, and I went to Target, there wasn't any vanilla cake that was originally planned for. However, there were found two slices of a choco
