Short Film: https://www.wevideo.com/view/1658644265

This project has been a hassle! At first Amanda and I had our whole project completely done from the start to the end. We were extremely excited to start the project because we really did have a specific vision that we were going for. At first we had a specific genre of Romance and it was a story that I have always wanted to bring together and film. 

This short film has been quite a process for the most part especially because at first Amanda and I were working like snails, we were going so slow as if we had all the time in the world. But then we got some bad news that came our way that comepley changed our process of everything between filming and just about everything. It affected everything and we had to completely change our genre, along with your overall theme. With the coronavirus in our way everyone has been under quarantine Amanda and I were unable to leave our homes and every public place has been closed. Leaving everyone was on house arrest, even school was closed. I know that this has been extremely disappointing not only for me but most of my peers because we all had high hopes into making this portfolio project the absolute best. I know that for the most part many of my classmates were disappointed in this happening because we were unable to film the project that we all had visioned and were ready to create. 

Although this did not stop Amanda and I from making the absolute best project that we possibly could, so instead of making it a romantic parody we decided to make it just a parody on the ways to be safe with the coronavirus. This idea was really good for us because we knew that we would be able to create it. We thought that it would be just a perfect idea to mock all of the people (moms)that are being extremely over dramatic about the coronavirus.

This film was pretty difficult though because of the limited time that we had but it all worked out fine, although the editing process was a mission. Amanda had to create a whole 5 minute voice over and it had to match completely with the footage that was being placed. Since Amanda and I decided to mute the video, we had to come up with our sound effects and that took FOREVER. Especially because we had to sink the sound effects perfectly with the footage being shown it was a huge task that we needed to get done, but it turned out just fine. 

I feel this project was pretty difficult because we did have some trouble with the website along with the links but we eventually managed.Thus project took a complete turn on us from the start to end because we did not think we would end up with the film that we now have, but I know that we did the best that we could with the resources around us. I overall enjoyed this project and learned a lot of new things from it, great learning experience. 

WEDNESDAY,

Wow! Amanda and I have not stopped working. We are completely exagest and our brains are completely fried, but we still have some work to do. So today we focused on our postcard and we wanted our postcard to be engaging and attract the viewers. The website had the colors of red,black, and white so Amanda and I keep the scheme of colors for it to flow well. In the postcard we decided to include our social media accounts which Amanda and I thought would be extremely good, especially since it's easier to access (social media) and you won’t be able to lose it. 

Postcard: In the postcard advertisement we took a close up shot of Orian wearing the mask very close up. And Amanda and I think we made a good choice because she is the main actor and the mask (corona) which is the whole idea of the short film. 

Hi everyone, 

As this week is coming closer to an end, (our project deadline) Amanda and I are moving extremely fast and we are getting big things done everyday. So since yesterday we finished editing our film today we decided that we would be putting the final touches into our website and finally publish it to the public. In this website we focused on the color scenes of white,red, and black to stick with our theme. We also made the website extremely clean and easy to access, by having a way to navigate through the top right corner with having it all labeled. Amanda and I are aware that many teenagers aren’t really big on the web, so we decided to put an easy way to click to our social media from the websites. The website looks great and I know that our audience will absolutely love it ! Down below is how the website looks!

Hi people !

Editing all done! But I do have to admit that it was a mission to get the film to look exactly the way that we wanted too. These are our finally editing touches that we used in our film.. 

1)We did have some difficulties with the sounds because we muted the videos so Amanda and I had to completely record our sounds and put it together perfectly so the footage would sink with the sound.

2) We decided to put a lot of little details into every single scene that was filmed. Another thing that we did with the film was that we put a voice over throughout our whole film, so timing the voice over with every single action that was taken also became quite difficult but it did end up going in smoothly. 

3)Other than creating our own sounds we also had some sounds that we used from WeVideo and it made a significant difference inside of our project. 

4) We also heavily manipulated the colors from before corona and after and it definitely added a huge tough to the visual aspects.

This editing process was definitely more tricky then it was last year, but we managed it as best as we could and ended up coming out great! While creating this film, I definitely learned a lot and I know that I will take what I learned into further productions! :)

Hey guys,

The problem has been solved and the editing process is beginning! So far it is all going great and we should be done pretty soon, because we have really been putting all of our time and focus into the editing for now. Although Amanda and I are well aware that there is more to this project than just the filming and editing and this is all a process and we hope that the pieces will be all together and done very soon. So we hope to get done with the website early this week. As amsdna and i have already discussed we hope to make our website the best that we possibly could and we would love for it to really engage with our audience and we hope that it truly attracts the audience into our film. As we have mentioned in a previous blog we will be using WIX and we hope that this will be a really good way to market our film. As this week is about to start I will have many more updates on what is happening with our website ! stay tuned because it is going to be GREAT!
