Titles, Titles, and More Titles

 In the morning today, I went to watch our film to make sure it was perfect once again. When I finished it, something seemed off. I decided to watch it one more time and I saw what was off. None of our previous titles had been included! Since I am the editor of the group, this mistake is on me. Yet, I could not help but be disappointed that none of my groupmates mentioned such a critical mistake. I did not want to delay and immediately started to think about how I was going to first, insert these titles. Secondly, come up with creative names and who will be what. I decided on using alight motion for the titles. I am very familiar with the app, it is easily accessible, and any mistakes made can be quickly fixed. One problem is, that Imovie and alight motion do not get along, At least on my phone. I tried what seemed a million times to export the film to alight motion and it was no use. I did not know how to get over this obstacle since I am not the best with electronics and I ended up asking my brother for help. He was very hesitant due to his lazy behavior but he came through. What he did was emailed it to him through my computer and imported it to alight motion. If I am honest, I was a little upset that I did not think of that. The next part was figuring out the different title names. I went back to Canvas to see what titles were needed. I wrote them all down and took a trip down memory lane to remember who did what during filming.

The Final Project

Image
  After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the film is finally complete. I am very relieved. Actually, I am even joyous that this film project is finished. I loved the whole process of making an opening sequence. The editing process was difficult and frustrating but I feel I am getting better at it. My favorite part of the project was the initial planning, storyboarding, and actual filming.    During the planning stage, I understood what I had to do and how to complete it.    The creative aspect of these parts of the project seemed to come easy to me, which made it enjoyable. My least favorite was the editing tasks. This was probably because it was new to me and a challenging learning experience. I felt dependent on different Youtube instructions and had to keep watching different videos to learn. The YouTube posts I found on editing skills were definitely helpful and taught me a lot. I love to learn and absorb new skills, I learned a lot these past three projects and I

A Much Needed Break

 After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. Although this is supposed a follow-up blog on the process my group has been making. We all took our FSA writing this week. I ended up taking mine today, and I am burnt out. In our school, every Thursday of the first week of the month we are provided a Professional Study Day (PSD). In order to maintain my working skills in all seven of my classes. I use days like this to decompress and destress! I made sure all my work had been completed the day before such as Deltamath, previous blogs, etc, so my day could be cleared. After taking my 2 hour FSA writing test, the school day was almost over. I walked to 4th period with my friend and was only in there for about 30 minutes. Once the bell rang I walked with my friend to the car loop. Riding with my mom all the way back home. Once arrived, I decided I was going to watch a movie. Seeing that I am taking a media studies class. It is easy to assume that I
