‘Changing it a bit’

Image
 Hey guys! So, after showing my short movie to the fam and friends, I got their thoughts and decided to tweak some stuff. My bestie was like, "It's kinda creepy, man," so I toned down the stalker vibes a bit. My cousin said to ease up on the intense stuff, so I dialed it back. Sis wanted more depth for the girl, so I gave her a bit more backstory. Mom got all mom-like, asking if it's sending the right message, and Dad suggested digging into why the guy is stalking. Grandma was old-school, not vibing with the funny-stalker thing. Some friends were into the soundtrack, so that stayed. Others were split on the ending, so I kept it chill without a big twist. They liked the edgy vibe but had mixed feelings on the stalking part. Took their advice and changed it up – still different but more balanced. It was like a mini-movie review with the crew. Adjusted the editing a bit, kept it light but added more layers to the characters. In the end, it felt more solid, you know? The

  Hey guys! So, like, I made this short movie, right? It's about this guy stalking a girl, but get this – she's all depressed and thinks it's like, charming and funny. Anyway, after showing it to my friends and fam, they had a bunch of stuff to say. My bestie was like, "Dude, that plot is wild! It's so creepy, but also kinda funny, you know?" And my cousin was all, "The vibe is so unique, but maybe dial down the stalker stuff, it's kinda intense." My sis, who's all into drama, was like, "OMG, the tension is insane! But maybe give the girl more depth, you feel me?" Mom, being all protective, was like, "Honey, are you sure this is the right message?" Dad, being the cool guy, said, "It's edgy, but maybe explore the reasons behind the stalking more." Grandma was like, "Back in my day, we wouldn't have found that funny, dear." Some of my friends were split, with one saying, "The soundtrack slaps

  Hey guys! I have been getting a hang of merging clips together and adding certain sound to the specific scene.  Rearranging the footage to tell our unique story has been a wild ride. I'm still getting used to the whole process of merging videos, but it's all in the name of creating something unforgettable. Our horror romance movie is becoming a beast of its own, and I can't wait for everyone to experience the creepy yet strangely alluring world we're crafting on the screen. The journey through the editing realm has been a formidable one, especially for someone not accustomed to seamlessly merging different video sequences. It's become a profound learning experience, requiring a thoughtful approach to crafting a cohesive narrative. The challenge lies in intertwining scenes, ensuring they seamlessly flow together to tell our captivating story of love and horror. Every decision, from rearranging sequences to adding text, contributes to the overall impact of our film

 Hey guys!  I've been working hard on the footage for our horror romance movie, and things are shaping up quite nicely. Decided to throw in some text, you know, like they do in those killer movies, just to give some extra oomph. Tweaked the lighting a bit too, just to hit that sweet spot. And hey, blurring out the background a tad - it's like magic, making the main characters, whether it's the guy or the girl, pop out and grab all the attention. Editing has been a bit of a rollercoaster, though. Wrapping my head around combining different scenes and going through the whole thought process – it's a whole new ballgame. But trust me, the struggle is real, and it's worth it. The challenge is making all these pieces come together seamlessly for our horror romance masterpiece. It's like weaving a twisted tapestry of suspense and bizarre charm. Every cut, every transition, it's all part of this intricate dance to keep the audience hooked. That’s all for today!

  Hey guys! So me and Jenna have been working hard on building scenes. Most of the time we have to repeat or fix a scene because it didn’t come off how we wanted to. Jenna is the main actress while I stay behind the camera. Jenna tends to show and enhance the emotions that need to be there. We have yet to find a male counterpart. We may just find a friend to pretend to be the guy for us. Since we don’t have the guy yet we’ve been just filming the scenes that only Jenna needs to be in to build the story.  We're mapping out the locations, thinking about every detail, from the mood-setting lighting to the killer soundtrack. It's a crazy journey, and we're loving every minute of it. Our passion for this project is off the charts, and we're ready to bring this twisted tale to life on the big screen. That’s it for now guys!

It's like, imagine a mixtape that sends shivers down your spine but also makes your heart race, you know? We're on the lookout for those tunes that will set the mood just right. We're vibing to eerie tunes that give you goosebumps, making you question if you're alone in the room. And then comes the challenge of finding romantic songs that somehow fit the bizarre charm of our story. It's like piecing together a puzzle where each track has to enhance the peculiar connection between our characters. We've got this eclectic mix ranging from haunting ballads to edgy love songs that'll make your heart skip a beat. Jenna's got this knack for matching the music with the scenes, creating a symphony of emotions that'll keep the audience hooked. Picture a romantic interlude intertwined with the suspenseful notes of a dark melody – it&#
