Group Blog: Final Task

     This is the third project that we've done this year. The first one we had to do by ourselves. The second and third ones we had a choice to work in a group. I really wanted to do the music video with a group, but when it was time to find your group, no one asked if I would join their group. I asked a few people, but they already had a group and it didn't include me. I was pretty disappointed because I thought it would be fun to do that project with a group. But I also knew it would be hard to agree on everything and coordinate schedules, so I convinced myself that was best. And I had fun filming my own video and doing the editing, so it worked out well. 

     For this project I wanted to be part of a group, but this time, most people were working in their same group from last time, so there wasn't a group for me. I'm disappointed, but I realize that there are some advantages. One of these advantages is I can work on the project when I want to not when other people want me to. Another advantage is that I don't have to worry about if other people have done their part yet or not. A third advantage is I can make the story myself.

     So, I've accepted that I am going to do the final task independently. The good news is that I’ll be able to choose the genre and make all of the decisions on my own. I won't be stuck doing what someone else wants. Also, I can work on it when it works for me. And if I want to, I could do the project over winter break and get it done. Another benefit is that I can choose whether I want to do it at home or somewhere else. These are the reasons why I am working by myself.

Film Review Blog

I asked my friend Conner to review by movie. I wasn't really sure what he would think, but I was excited to get his reaction. He is in my class, so we could watch it together. The first time we watched it, he laughed when my parents found out I was invisible. He thought it was funny that my dad was looking for me in the dishwasher. He also laughed when I stole my dad's breakfast.  When we got to the part where I put chocolate sauce on my brother's bagel, he asked why my hand was in the shot. I explained that I had thought about that before we shot the footage. I decided that since the movie was shot from my perspective and I didn't know that I was invisible, I would have been able to see my hand. As a result, I thought it was okay to include that shot. He agreed that that made sense. We continued watching and he laughed when I pulled the chair out from under my brother. At the end he said that he really liked it. We watched it together one more time. This time we talked...

My Pitch

Pitch A:   A boy is watching a scary movie with his brother when he hears the doorbell ring. Pitch B:   A boy wakes up one morning and realizes his family members can’t see him. In Pitch A, a boy and his brother are home alone watching a scary movie. They are worried they may have made the wrong choice of movie. Suddenly they hear knocking at their door. They pause the movie and listen. They hear more knocking and unusual sounds outside. Finally, they work up the courage to answer the door… and it’s the pizza delivery man. In Pitch B, a boy wakes up one morning and heads to the kitchen as usual. But when he gets there and says hello to his mother, she can hear him, but she can’t see him. He is literally right in front of her, and she cannot see him. Once he realizes what’s happening, he decides to go for mischief. A funny morning of pranks follows. My final decision: Since I actually don’t love scary movies, I’ve decided to do Pitch B – the invisible boy. I think it wo...

Re-Editing Blog

After I looked over the movie at the end of my last blog, I found some things that I wanted to change. One of these things was the title screen showing the actor's names. It looked like the picture included in this blog, but I wanted the names to be center aligned. After I changed it in the PowerPoint I made my title screens on, I used the Snipping Tool to cut out the slide and save it as a PNG file. I then uploaded the picture to CapCut, and placed the original. After this, I edited it to be in the movie for the same length of time as my other title screens.  Another thing I had to change was the Music By title screen since I didn't have anything on it. I didn't have anything on it because I wasn't sure my movie needed music, however I knew it was a requirement. So I needed to find a song and get that edited in to the movie. The song I picked was on Spotify. I used my phone to do a screen recording while I listened to the part of the song that I wanted to use. I only n...
