 Since we have the last scene we are done. Mila filmed the last scene at her friends house yesterday. Since we have most of it, we weren’t in a rush. We didn’t need to edit it immediately. Today in class we edited it. All we did in class was add the clip. It was the last clip. It was easy to add in class since it was the last scene. We still need to add music. We didn’t want to do it in class. Like i said in the music blog before, it needs to be quiet. We are using iMovie so we just hit record and add music to the sound. Addie still has the whole movie in iMovie. We decided to just let her add the music when she gets home. We are not sure what music to add. We could add happy music since its a little girl. We could also do the suspenseful music we have been using this whole time. When Addie adds the two different os we will choose. I think we should maybe not add any music at all. It will make it sound like we are out of a dream. I am really proud of my group and how well we have d...

 We finished filming! At first i thought we were behind everyone else. I spoke to a few of my friends in the class. Turns out, we are not behind at all. Most people just have the scenes. We have the scenes and are almost done with editing. Today, mila went to her friends house. Like i said previously, her friend has a younger sister. Mila was supposed to go Monday. It really doesn’t’t matter that she misunderstood. She was texting in the group chat. First she didn’t know what to add. She asked if she should add toy cay and plates. I said that would be a good idea to make it look like it was played with. It is also in the story board. Mila also asked if sh should add the bin of toys. We said yes. She sent a few different angles. I think the one where the girls face is showing looks best. There are other scenes where you just see the girl playing with the dolls. I really like this scene because it finishes the movie perfectly. Last thing to do is finish editing!

 Even though we have most of it there is still a small scene we need. The scene of the little girl. This is such a vital role in the short film. It shows that the whole thing was just the girls imagination. I said before in the previous blogs that Mila’s friends sister would do it. Today, Addie asked in the group chat if she should just get her older sister to do it. We talked about her older sister doing it before we found out Mila’s friend had a younger sister. I replied saying in thought Mila was going to film her friends sister. Mila said she didn’t know that was still the plan. This made me a little frustrated because everyone knew that was still the plan. As a group, we said our new plan. Our number one plan is mila going to her friends house. If she cannot go she will get her friend to film her sister. Our back up plan is just dressing addies sister up as a little girl and using her. I really hope mila can find time to do this for our group. This is an important step and wou...

 Copyright is a scary thing. Even if i don’t mean to copyright, it still might happen. The problem can occur when i am on a royalty free website and they mistake a song for royalty free. When we were looking for music we found it on YouTube. We didn’t just search anything though. It would’ve been our mistake if we just searched up some background music. Luckily we remembered to make it royalty free. So, we searched up royalty free music on YouTube. Finding music on YouTube is much easier than having to download it. When we were editing in class, we also looked for the music. Once we found the music we couldn’t add it to the video. It needed to be quiet. So addie added it when she got home. I was still nervous about the music not actually being royalty free. I asked addie to upload the video to YouTube. If the music is copyrighted YouTube takes down the video. Addie was 99% sure it wouldn’t get copy righted because she also slowed it down. She uploaded the video and YouTube didn’t t...

Surprisingly, the hardest part about this project has been finding a young actress. We need a young girl for one of the characters. Although the scene is short, it’s the most important part.  This scene shows that all of it was just imagination. That’s why I like this movie idea so much. When I was little my imagination would run wild. And that is what we are showing. Sadly, none of us has a little sister. All of our friends only has younger brothers. Violet has an older brother. Addie and I have an older sister. Mila has a younger sister but she is in middle school and looks too old for the part. At first we were going to use Addie’s sister. If we dress her up like a little girl it would’ve worked. Mila remembered her friend has a younger sister. On Friday she was at her friends house but sadly her sister wasn’t home. Next time mila goes over she will film the little girl. Using an actual child for this scene will make our movie look more professional. It’s also better because she...
