Wrapping up

 This Final Task was a lot of fun to complete. It was a huge amount of fun. I was able to spend more time with my friend as a result of it. It also gave me the opportunity to have fun with her and come up with new ideas. It unquestionably drew me closer to her. It was enjoyable, but it was still difficult labor. With our hectic schedule, finding time to work on this was a challenge. Especially considering some scenes took place at night and others during the day. This made it even more difficult. To make time for it, I had to give up a lot of things. But it was still enjoyable. It was fantastic to imagine myself as a professional film director. Our opening scene is something Lily and I are incredibly pleased of. I'm looking forward to seeing our final task in Cambridge. I believe they will enjoy themselves. It's a popular issue that they've certainly encountered before, but I believe ours has a unique twist. I put a lot of effort into this project. It took a lot of time and work to complete. I'm really looking forward to it being graded.

Film Review

I was finally finished with the editing process. I needed a second opinion now. Lily and I had both seen it many times before. We were concerned that our viewing of it would be tainted by the fact that we developed it. As a result, we required the input of a third party. I showed our opening sequence to Lily’s mother, father, and all of her siblings (3 brothers, 2 sisters). On my PC, I started the final task. I wanted her family to watch it on a big screen to get the full sensation. To improve the movie effect, I screen-shared my MacBook to Lily’s large living room television. This could only be seen by her mother, father, and one of her brothers. Because her other siblings do not live with her, She had to email our final task to them so they could examine it. I considered how some of this would be skewed because they were her relatives. I was attempting to come up with ways for everyone to provide me with anonymous comments. Her family is the type of folks who would never intentionally hurt our feelings if they didn't like our projects. They are out number 1 supporters. We came up with a solution to the problem. I made a Google doc to keep track of everything. I told everyone of my "critics" about it. They could all enter their criticisms into the text this way. I wouldn't be able to see the handwriting or who typed it since I wouldn't be able to see it. Our bias issue was resolved as a result of this. It was now time for them to sit down and watch it.We walked out of the room and told my family to keep an eye on it. I gave them the freedom to view it as many times as they wanted. They told me they liked it when I returned. I still wanted their honest feedback on the google doc from them. We gave them, as well as her siblings who were not with us, some time to write in the document. I read them after they were finished. I was taken aback when none of them had any genuine criticisms. The only complaint from the critics was that the music was excessively loud. I was relieved to receive so many constructive criticisms. I went back to iMovie to make the change. I listened to the sound. Throughout the film, the music was played at full volume. I reduced the volume to 70% since it was too loud. That was ideal. I'm ecstatic to have completed an opening sequence that I'm pleased of.

iMovie

 Today was the day I had to get down to business and start editing. I began by studying the storyboard. This is quite beneficial. It aids in the organization of the scenes. I was debating which editing program I should use. I decided to go with the one that I am most familiar with. That's iMovie. I chose this option since I am already familiar with iMovie. It was used to edit a commercial and a music video for me. Those worked out rather nicely. I'm confident in my ability to use iMovie. I started by opening iMovie. Then I went ahead and added all of the clips. I had to double-check that everything was in order. To do so, I sat through each and every one of them. Even when I loaded the clips into iMovie in the correct order, they were all out of order. To arrange them in order, I had to go through them one by one. By studying the storyboard, I was able to do this. It was time to trim and crop the videos after they were all in order.

Putting It All Together

 Today was the first day of editing for me. My phone was used to shoot the scenes. So I started by sending them to Lily in an email. She looked through her inbox and located them. I instructed her to save the videos on her computer. We went back over the videos and watched them all again. We did this to ensure that I sent all of the appropriate takes. Because there were so many outtakes, I wanted to ensure I didn't give her one by mistake. We decided to begin by downloading the music we would be using today. We picked music from YouTube that was royalty-free. So, first and foremost, we had to go to YouTube. I looked for the music I needed on the internet. I discovered that I couldn't download music from YouTube to my PC. I needed to locate a site that would enable me to do so. I went to Google and began my search. I was able to identify a webpage very fast. I saved the music to my PC because the website allows you to download it as an MP4 file. Now I'm ready to start editing. I had the music and the video, and now it was time to get to work.

Searching for the One

 I came upon a track that was perfect for our project. Lana Del Rey's "Season of the Witch" was the song. It was a nice fit for the mood I wanted to create. It was gloomy and ominous. This was a song that I really wanted to utilize. Because we were both so busy, neither my partner nor I had time to email the music firm. It was too late for me to comprehend this. I didn't receive a response in time to include the music in the film. I attempted to come up with additional options. I checked the copyright regulations on the internet. I realized there was nothing I could do. I couldn't utilize the music until I got permission. I was in a hurry. I was unhappy, but I was able to come up with a solution. It was ok once I recognized that this song would not make or break our film. I began my search for public domain music. Music in the public domain is music that has no copyright and can be used by anybody. To begin my search, I headed to YouTube. I needed to discover music that was similar to Lana Del Rey's Season of the Witch. I'm still looking for music to utilize, but I have a number of possibilities and am optimistic I'll find something.
