  Today was an exciting day for us! We actually chose some of the music for our movie. This took us a while to find because of copyright issues. There is a lot of choice on youtube but we couldn’t quite fine the one we wanted. It had to be a sort of suspenseful sound. We looked for days trying to find one that matched well. We came to a decision of a couple good ones and we chose between them and picked the one that fit the mood the best. We needed to find multiple. Each particular scene needed some sort of background noise or music. Island music was necessary because it was used a lot when writing the script. When finding good island music on youtube we stumbled upon a lot of good options. During the process we chose a good one that was again free of copyright. Although we found them pretty easy on youtube, we were confused to as how we were supposed to put them on the movie. We then did final research on how we were supposed to add them on our clips. We did it successfully and it tur

 Today was a horrible day. Ella and I met up to finish our editing and all of the work we did had not been saved. Everything deleted, all of our editing and progress deleted so we had to restart the entire process. Luckily, after our mistake of deleted a scene last time, we saved all of our footage in a special file on my computer so it would be easily accessible. However, we had to go through all of our videos again and choose the ones we liked. We also had to reorganize everything and reload it back into order into the iMovie app. After we got all of the downloading done, we got to work on redoing our transitions. This entire beginning process took us almost an hour and a half due to the amount of work we lost from the last day of editing. After we finished, Ella and I began to insert our captioning into the movie. The captioning was the texts with the labels of "Producer", "Writer", "Actors", etc. This process was severely difficult because we didn'

 Hello! We finally are almost done with our project. It's so relieving. We began our editing today. We began by downloading all of the videos and files onto my computer to sort through them all. There were many scenes we messed up in so we had to delete those and make sure we got the perfect scenes to put into our video. It was a lot of work because we had to reshoot so many scenes continuously because we could not keep it together while filming, we would start laughing or mess up our lines. We finally got all of the files downloaded into the iMovie app. We didn't do much editing like adding the wording and adding music, however we did get all of our clips in order. We cut the clips to be perfect length and added seamless transitioning to make the intro look more professional. As we were going through the clips we realized that we accidentally completely deleted one of our scenes so the next day we had to go reshoot it. The scene was in the stairwell chasing the antagonist of t

   I’m back with some better news than last time. I’m very excited to say that we actually could film! Ah finally a day with no rain and just sunny as can be. We were so happy and felt very successful when we got the shots we needed this day. We went to the beach early so there was not a lot of people. This was a big factor because we didn’t want it to be completely packed. It definitely wasn’t a quick shoot. This actually ended up taking over an hour or so. The lighting was really good but almost too bright. In the end we finally ended up getting what we needed. It looks very professional and we are very happy with the outcome. The next filming we will most likely be doing is the airport scenes. As spring break is approaching and dellana and I will be away. We both have an opportunity to film on the plane. We will both film separate, and add them together to make it look like we are on the plane together. This will be fairly easy to merge together. On the other hand we both are very e

   So as you can probably tell by the tittle, it was raining today! We had plans to film at the beach after school today to get some clips but we couldn’t. Although we couldn’t film, we didn’t want the day to go to waste. So we went to a coffee shop and jotted down some more ideas of what we can add to our film, like props, costumes, etc. The beach was also very busy from spring breakers so this also was a reason to not film today. We did make plans to raincheck (literally) for our filming at the beach. We both have set aside time out of our weekend to do so. The weather in Florida has been all over the place right now, but I hope we get some good weather this weekend. We have a lot of work to do! We have a schedule for our filming days and what we aim to accomplish. We both hope we can get it done earlier to fix anything that is necessary. Even though this was a little bump in the road it won’t stop us! Dellana and I work very well together and are on the same page all the time. We st

 Hello again! I am very excited to say that today was our first day of filming! We didn't get a lot done..however we did start on the process. The scenes we started on were scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The settings for these first scenes were the airport, in a "taxi", and in a hotel. The first scene was filmed in the airport, we had Dellana and I going through the airport as well as "checking in" for our flight departure. The scenes in the airport were particularly difficult to film because there were many people around that were in the way. It was very awkward having to explain to staff that we were filming for a project and it was even worse for normal people trying to simply get their check-in done. The plane scene we haven't shot yet because we are waiting for spring break when we will be on an actual plane. Which requires a lot more work and time and we were limited on time. For the plane scene we have some great ideas, but one we will most likely go with

In the first storyboard we have the entry into the movie, the beginning is Dellana and I entering Florida (the vacation) after the scenes on the plane. These scenes begin to show the atmosphere and setting that the story begins.  The second storyboard is Dellana and I introducing another setting where the drama begins, the setting is a hotel. Mysterious things begin to start and I become suspicious and Dellana is trying to calm me down.  The third storyboard is where the Antagonist is introduced and how he enters the setting and story. The setting is still continuing in the hotel but the tension of the story begins to rise as dellana leaves the room alone. The fourth storyboard is where dellana begins to find and follow the antagonist, however the viewers are in suspense because the scenes don't go into much detail besides for me in suspicion. The story introduces a setting which is the staircase and dellana begins to trail the antagonist.   The last storyboard is where the story w
