Viktor’s blog

 Creating the CCR was fairly simple. All that I had to do was answer the questions that were there and describe what our film was about. And I just did a simple video where I talked about the questions and our film. I believe that I was able to cover everything that was mentioned, and was able to go into ok depth about what our film is about. It turned out to be around 6 minutes, which was longer than I thought, I thought that I was going to be cutting it a little short. Filming the video wasn't too bad, it brings me back to when I was in a public speaking class my sophomore year, and had to some videos like this. Where we had to have clear voice with little extra filler words, and time to time looking back at the camera so it doesn't feel robotic. All in all, it was pretty easy, but that is definitely the easiest one out of all of them, so I espect the others to be harder to come up with ideas on how to answer the questions.

  CCR 1   Our film challenges conventions   by showing 2 characters that are friends and have a seeming trust with each other , and have  one betray the other on a deeper scale. But simply on the surface it i s a man who gets out of rehab and believes that he is clean again, and goes with a friend, just for him to  ultimately  get  drugged by that said friend.  This can  represent  social groups by how everything seems to get along on the surface, but there could be other motives that another person is hiding, whether  it's  a dislike or envy of another person.    Product- Our product is a drama and coming of age movie of both Viktor (me) and Jeremyah (K eysean Jeremyah) as the characters. It goes through the day of both Viktor and  jeremyah  getting ready for a party . But Viktor has just gotten out of rehab from being an addict before, and Jeremyah is also clean, but does not have  nearly as  bad...

 The roles of the characters for our final film is pretty much the same as what it was before, but is a lot different than the blogger post earlier. The roles we had in this one was that I was a recovering addict from alcohol/drugs. I went to rehab to help out with everything, but it ultimately didn't work as well as they thought it would. Jeremyah had a similar past but isn't nearly as bad as mine, and has ben clean for a while. But during the party when I get roofied, it might be implied that it was Jeremyah that laced the drink. While it can seem that Jeremyah is concerned for my well being before going to the party, he really decided to put me back down my path again, leading to "The Decision." The roles we had before was Jeremyah was a super star in college, but partied too much and hit rock bottom. He ends up working for me at an automechanic shop, where I am his uncle offering him a job again. But I think the charters from our final film now fit our social prob...

 The audio was a little harder to do than the editing was. The audio from the first opening film was messed up in quite a bit of places, and was almost inaudible in others. But when adding the new scenes in for the final, it wasn't too hard to mix the audios to where some here louder and clearer to hear. The only hard thing to do was add keyframes here and there, but they weren't ultimately necessary. But what was tricky was when adding the new clips, they also had the audio it came with, and since we didn't add any new lines, we had to match up the new clips with old audio. So it took taking out certain audio clips, cropping, and adjusting where they were. In the end, the audio sounded a lot better, and everything was audible for when we were talking.

 Editing the new scenes into the opening was quite easy. All that we needed to do was add the clips that we had filmed and take out the previous clips that weren't able to be counted due to them being filmed by someone not in our group. And since we decided to use a large portion of our midterm project which was still a decent opening, adding and editing the clips into the opening was not hard at all to do. In the end, the film with the new scenes came out to be exactly 2:05, which is the limit that the film can be. The new scenes that were filmed really add to the point of our film, and clear things up of what had happened. To previously where it is unclear what happened and how I had gotten drugged.

 Our final film session was a view days ago to help wrap up or film opening. It was a quick scene which was all we needed. It included the scene of me getting drugged at the party, which we had to do a fake background to show that we were at the party as we are not the legal age to go to most clubs, and would get in a lot of trouble if we were to film one of us drugging a drink in a group of other people. But the scene starts with a close up of the drink getting roofied, me picking it up then transitioning to me drinking it in 2 different frames. adding the clips together and then adding to it what we had filmed the previous day completed all of the filming that we needed to do and would help us start working on the editing and audio for the opening.

 Last night me and Jeremyah went out to shoot the rest of the scenes that we need in our film. we had to start off first with reshooting the scene where he gets out the car due to him having shorter hair. I am lucky with mine as I still have a similar haircut to when we first were filming. Then we had to reshoot us walking to the party because the last time we had a friend of Jeremyah's help film, which we did not know was allowed at the time. We did a low, still frame shot of us walking past the camera with our backs showing. The next was a wide pan of us walking, and the third shot was an almost POV shot of us in the building heading to the party as a last second confirmation between me and Jeremyah. Overall the reshooting was pretty quick and all that is needed now is 2 other quick scenes, editing, and redoing some of the audio.

 Me and Jeremyah decided to go back to our original opening film and edit what we had and make the overall production better. The previous script was too far off from our original idea and came out to  be a bit too complicated than what we had anticipated. Certain scenes from the original film where we had someone else film we changed to where it was a stand still of us walking, and a pan too. This is so that the whole film is filmed by only us and we do not get a grade punishment for someone else's help that is not in our group. We also cut out a couple of other scenes and shortened others to fit in other clips that fit what the overall story is telling, and not making it vague. next would be adding those clips in, which should not take too long as it is only a couple of them, and fixing the audio which is already there.
