 Hi guys. Today we started editing. We had to make jump cut scenes included music, and maybe sound effects. Since Eileen did the first three scenes I decided to edit the last few scenes. The scenes that took place in the woods is my fav so I decided to edit it along with when they get back to the house. I added sounds of leaves and branches crunching but lowered the sound a bit since you can’t really hear them walking. I also added jump cuts from when the scenes are switching. I didn’t want it to look boring or else viewers wouldn’t like it. When the lake scene in scene 14 we did a close up shot of Kelly and Cheryl so there was really a thing to edit. I added low pitched water sounds though. When scene 14 is about to end I add and fade out and a dramatic slash sound. I might that keep it though. I have to think about it and get the opinions of my group mates. When Kelly is walking up the stairs I added a creaking sound and then I did a fade out with a dramatic sound to “wow” the viewer

 Hii! Today we finished scenes 14,15,and 16. I feel like I did terrible on the acting in scene 14. I had to act shocked and kind of angry. I’m always in a good mood. But I managed to do it after 3 takes. On my third take I thought I did better. I feel like I would be a terrible actor because they have to portray different emotions and I can’t really do that. Anyway Eileen filmed scene 14 since she wasn’t in it. I think she did an amazing job filming. Better than me if you had to choose. Scene 15 and 16 I wasn’t in. I took that opportunity  to take a short snack break because my stomach was growling. Scene 15 took no less than 10 minutes which was great because I had just finished my snack. I filmed scene 16 since I wasn’t in it. This since took lots of effort since Eileen had to scream in it. There was also so much suspense when Amiya(Kelly) started walking up the stairs. I would say that they are better actors than me. They did a fantastic job but I think I should lay off the filming

 Hi guys and gals! Todays we did another four scenes. I am happy to say that we are almost done. We did do filming at school since it is a Monday. I was kinda tired while filming my scenes because I went to sleep at 12 am but I didn’t show it. We did scenes 10, 11, 12, and 13.  My favorite part of the filming today was the woods scene which are scenes 12 and 13. These are the scenes where Kelly accidentally gets hurt in the woods. This is also the part which Veronica starts suspecting her. But I don’t want to get to into it unless I’ll spoil it. Today there was less procrastination unlike yesterday where we were messing up. We took about two short breaks. I got better at memorizing the lines since I have terrible memory. I’m glad that I accomplished that. I can’t wait to start editing the scenes. I’ve had past experience with editing so it will be fun. Todays writing is a little short since it was an easy day. Hope you enjoyed the reading and have a good day.

  Hi! Today we filmed scenes 6,7,8,and 9. We started filming at 12 pm and were supposed to finish around 5pm. But I had to go to my National Achievers Society meeting today which from at 1 pm to 2pm.There  was going to be a little delay but I told them that they could film scene 8 at the house without me since I’m not in it. They agreed and then I left. When I got back to the house we filming at I was little exhausted because I had to do a car wash for a fundraiser. But I pushed through it and told myself that we have to make this film perfect for viewers to watch. Before filming I ordered some coffee from Dunkin Donuts to hopefully wake me up. We already had some of parts of scene 7 before I left because Eileen filmed it her part at her house. So I did my part and then we looked over it and checked to see if it was good enough. Filming scene 8 took a little longer since Eileen had to have her character have a specific tone to seem weirded out when Kelly was smiling at her. I could tel

 Hi guys! Today I am going to be talking about the our filming process of scenes 2 ,3,4, 5, tand how we started it. Eileen filmed scenes 1 and 2. Because she had to go to a birthday party me and amiya took over some of the filming process. While she was gone me and Amiya decided to look back at scene 1 and 2 and see if we wanted re do it or if it was okay. We decided to keep it. First I’m going to talk about filing scenes 1 and 2. Scenes 2 and 3 were pretty easy for me but I keep messing up a couple of times because I kept forgetting what I was going to say. We had to re do scene 2 like 5 times. Other than that, practice makes perfect so I think I did great.  We were originally going to film the 1st scene at our own house because it set place in the living room and bedroom but we just decided to go to one house to make it easier for us. Next is filming scenes 3,4, and 5. Only me(Cheryl) and Amiya(Kelly)were in these scenes, We decided to put Eileen who is played as Veronica behind the

 Hi guys! Today me and my group decided on our music choice for our opening sequence.it was kind of hard to find the.p right choice that fit our genre. We wanted to find music that fit a mysterious suspenseful thriller type all in one. After searching on YouTube for almost an hour Eileen found music that matched our genre. We took so long to find it because we had to find music that wasn’t copyrighted and if we wanted to use an artists’ song we would have had to emailed them asking if we could use it. The music gives off a suspenseful/unnatural vibe. The music will, all we all discussed , will make the viewers feel intrigued, fearful, and excited all at the same time. If this does actually give the viewer those type of vibes then I would be happy because me and my group are working hard to make this opening sequence perfect. Me and my group mates decided to add in sound free copyright sounds into one of the open sequence scenes. We all thought that it would go perfect with our knife sc

 Hi Guys! There was a slight change of plans. We were supposed to start filming today but my group,ages are not able to make it. We are supposed to start today which is a Thursday but everyone is busy with catching up with homework or staying late after school. For example eileen my group mate has to work on her essay that due tomorrow. But it is okay because I can have this day to makeup up work that I needed to do. Also we have plenty of time for the opening sequence so it doesn't worry me or my friends. We decided to change our start day of filming to February 18 which is a Sunday and in three days. We have nothing really to worry about because we have the rest of February to film. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! The second day of filming is February 21. Hopefully we can all make it. I talked with my mates on the phone we discussed that nothing is going to get in our way of filming. We also all cleared out schedules to make sure the days we had to film are days we
