Production Blog: Finishing Touches

  opening sequence, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it's shaping up. The progress we've made is truly remarkable, and I'm incredibly proud of our efforts. However, as with any creative endeavor, there have been some unexpected challenges along the way. Uploading the video to Vimeo proved to be more difficult than anticipated, with my computer once again refusing to cooperate. After scouring through help forums for solutions, I managed to resolve the issue, albeit after spending about 15 frustrating minutes. Once the video was finally uploaded, I encountered a familiar problem—poor resolution. The sequence appeared grainy and outdated, reminiscent of footage captured on ancient cameras. Determined to rectify Hello, bloggers, and welcome back to my blog! We're approaching the final stages of completing our this, I adjusted the frame rate and video quality, albeit at the cost of a longer export time, which took roughly 30 minutes. After sharing the video

Production Blog: Minor Tweaks

Greetings, fellow bloggers! It's been a while since our last update, and I'm excited to share the latest developments in our journey of crafting our opening sequence. As a team, we've been hard at work refining our film, starting with the titles of our production companies and studios. Choosing names that exude professionalism while resonating with audiences was our primary goal. After some deliberation, we settled on "Wildlife Productions" for our production company. The name perfectly encapsulates our focus on outdoor filming amidst natural environments and native wildlife, setting the tone for our project. However, the process of naming our studio proved to be more challenging than anticipated. After much brainstorming, we decided on the elegantly simple "JENC Studios." This name, derived from the initials of our team members, reflects our commitment to minimalism and professionalism. While we entertained more elaborate ideas, we ultimately opted

Production Blog: A Few Things Not Mentioned

 Hello Bloggers! As you may now know we are reaching the end of finishing our sequence.  The last few blogs have been about editing and improving my opening sequence to get ready for submission. This blog however, is more about what I forgot to mention over the past few months like how we got the props for our set and how as a group we worked together. To begin with how we gathered the props necessary to make our scenes look the best possible. We first picked up a gorilla suit from party city and made sure it was breathable so the person using it wouldn't overheat. Since we also couldn't use a real dead animal, we had to improvise using rags and making an animal like shape. We also had made our own fake blood using a cheap recipe with ingredients we already had. The blood turned out too sticky and far too bright and cartoony, so I scrapped it. We then just went and brought an entire gallon of dark fake blood in order to have the most professional and immersive effect on the ope

Production Blog: Still Making a Few Edits

 Hello bloggers! As you know my group are very close to finishing up everything to our final task. We did both filming sessions which went well. We then reviewed the film and looked over a few things. After that we got a friend to review the film and give us feedback. After receiving the feedback we made improvements to the sequence.  Trying new structures of the plot but it strayed too far from the original pitch and was confusing at times. Throughout this process I was getting increasingly frustrated which was obstructing my creative thinking. I took a break for a few days and rewatched the sequence again. I realized that I had been overthinking far too much in terms of what was actually wrong with my sequence. All it needed was a few seconds shaved off of it in order for the pacing and transitioning to make more sense. After coming to this realization, I immediately started looking for fluff in the sequence that was not relevant to the pitch or the progression of the sequence. I als

Production Blog: Editing

   Hey bloggers and welcome back to the continuation of my opening sequence. Today I will be tinkering throughout my sequence attempting to make it as improved as possible. Very similarly to what I did with my last blog. Considering how much I tweaked during the film review and the critique I used. It was relatively hard for me to see what was still wrong with the opening sequence. This meant I had to thoroughly watch and rewatch our current sequence in order to find thing I could improve upon. This took me quite a bit of minutes before finding pieces of the opening sequence that were not up to standard. The first thing I changed was the positioning of the titles as I wasn't very fond of where they previously were. At times the titles blocked out some important backgrounds or scenes due to their position and size. After noticing this I shifted almost all of the titles so that they would occupy different corners in places without importance to the sequence. I made sure however, to n
