FOLEY AND FINAL TOUCHES
Foley was an experience. I think this was harder than filming. Getting the right sounds and even mixing the sounds. Everything had to match and be synced perfectly. Finding DIY options for sounds and having to get even the smallest detail. I think this was the main obstacle in producing this film opening.
EDITING
In terms of editing, this was a quick process. For 2 minutes, I just had to sync the shots, browse through the disk, and do some minor color correction. Obstacles came in with choosing the right transition for the text and syncing music and shots.
This was my first time coming this close to Premiere Pro and even though I had to do some research, it was an amazing experience.
FILMING DAY
Our filming day was incredibly successful, we didn't have to set up a second date as we got everything in one day. We had to go to a bunch of different houses but it all paid off. All the shots for Joshua (Alex) were shot in my house and the shots for Luz (Martina) were shot in Bia's (Cinematographer), Martina's, and my friend Mafe's house. Every setting fit well with the other one and we were able to get the perfect shots, using Bia's camera and my phone camera.
It was a super fun day, I will record my progress on editing tomorrow and Foley.
FILMING (Again)
I say again because we are going to film the same shots we had already filmed again. That means the part where Luz comes out of her house and sees Joshua on the other side. Tuesday, March 26th is my next filming day, and all of Luz’s scenes will be done then. Wednesday, March 27th will be Joshua’s turn, as he is available then (nobody else was).
After filming some scenes for my friend Beatriz’s short film for A level, I realized how good her camera is! I asked her if we could use it for mine and she agreed, all I have to do is get a memory card. Also, my dad came for Spring Break and while shopping at Aventura, we updated my iPhone up to a 15 Pro! Meaning: Better camera = better shots. So we don’t have to rely just on the camera, we can use my phone!
