Changes Made from Film Review Blog

My friend Conner watched my movie with me in class last week. He really liked it. There were only a few things that I needed to udpate. The first thing was that I needed to update the music. When he watched it, he noticed that there was a funny sound at the start of it. We talked about how I should start the music clip a little sooner. I listened to it again before I edited and I knew exactly what to do. I removed the music clip and reloaded it. I cut it a few seconds earlier than I had previously. I did a few test runs to make sure it sounded okay.

The other thing I needed to update was that one of my title screens was still the place holder instead of the real one. I had completely forgotten about it, but he caught it. So I went into PowerPoint and found my file for the slides. Then I found the one that I hadn't finished yet and updated it. Then I uploaded it back into my CapCut file and replaced the place holder with the new one.

I exported a copy of the movie file to watch again to make sure those changes looked good. This time I noticed that it was hard to see the movie title because it was so fast. I had made all of the title screens the same amount of time - 1 second - but I thought since it was the title, it might be good to make it longer. So I went back into CapCut and increased the time for that side to 2 seconds. I watched it again and I liked that much better. I think it's ready to publish now!

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...
