  The short film my group and I have created consists of a teenage girl going through five stages of heartbreak. These stages consist of Denial, anger, grief, bargaining, and acceptance . This short film represent s teenagers as a social group and covers the issues of relationships and breakups. There are many factors that contribute to teenagers as a social group. At this age, people are discovering who they are an d who they want to be . This is a crucial age for people to start making decisions that benefit their prolonged future . We are forced to mature at this age and start thinking with an adult mindset in hopes of success . This age puts a lot of stress and pressure on individuals but the amazing thing about it is that you are surrounded by people going through many of the same struggles. The similarities between these young adults creates a “culture” between the teenagers . This culture consists of certain fashion trends, language used, ideas and values shared , plus m

peer editing

 It is important for peer editing to occur as it makes sure the film is complete with its fullest potential. If we are planning to gain an actual audience, it's helpful to gain insight from others. Individuals outside of our group can give us an unbiased opinion and help us improve. We will welcome all consideration for change but we will not change every request. It's important we discuss as a group which change requests we think will actually improve our film. This includes requests that we have received from multiple people will be considered more than a small change request from one person.

Editing complete!

 After 3 days of work. We have finished the editing process. This still leaves a lot of room for improvements. I have not yet done a peer review but each day i rewatch the film with a fresh mind and see what i can change. I found that the most complicated aspect was transitions. The transitions from scene to scene are a very important factor of the film. Transitions can create certain effects for the audience or make the seem either flow choppy or smooth. The actual content for the film connected with each other very nicely. While filming, i was confident that thee clips would fit nicely with the plot. After editing, the plot seemed to be very clear and all the specific factors such as angles, costumes and lighting made a large contribution to the realistic effect. I think that making the film about a teenage relationship was a good idea because it contributes to the realistic approach of the drama film. We used teenage actors to allow the audience to relate themselves to the character

editing pt 2

 Today was the day Brianna and i added the background music and titles to the film. I was excited for this part because it was the finishing touch to the film. It's critical that we added dramatic  music to our film to make it emotional. Although dramatic music is critical, we decided to add incidental music throughout certain parts of the film. The drama element is implemented throughout the entire film. This was done by implementing events that were realistic but exaggerated.  The beginning of the film is about the breakup, meaning sentimental music would be appropriate. Once we felt that the background music correlated correctly to the scenes in the film, we added the diegetic sound. This creates suspense as it makes the audience really focus on the character at that moment. Adding the titles wasn't too complicated considering we followed the storyboard. Throughout the entire filming and editing process i pulled out the storyboard to help us regain our exact vision of the fi

Advertisement is a key aspect of a successful film. Theres no better way to gain an audience then by advertisement. This can take place in many forms such as promotion on social media. For our short film we are required to make a post card and a website which consists of information about our "upcoming short film.  We split the advertisement tasks bet2ween the group members. I was the group member in charge of the website specifically. My group has made an array of social medias to provide updates and insight about our film. The website is made to display all the social medias and provide a quick summary of what our film is offering. I will also use it as a platform to "brag" about our film. The purpose of this is to gain as large of an audience as we possibly can. The cover photo of the film is used on all social medias and the website. It's also shown in the media below. This is the primary photo used to represent the film. The website also consists of different ph

editing

 We have completed filming and have now started the editing process. We are using a combination of CapCut and iMovie on a computer. Both of these apps are accessible on an Iphone but are more efficiently used on computers. These apps offer much more editing options on a computer compared to the limited options the same app offers on an iphone. The primary app we chose to use was capcut. Ive only previously used Imovie so this will be something new for me. My group member Brianna got refered to capcut by a friend so it was exciting to try something new that worked for a friend for the same purpose. On saturday we added all of the clips together and made sure it fit the time limit correctly. While editing, we noticed that certain clips fit better with certain transitions. The transitions were the most difficult part because it took a lot of trial and error. We also had to change the placement of certain clips to make sure they fit together smoothly. On sunday, after all of the clips were
