Final Task

 This video took a lot out of my group. There was so much that we had to do and so many problems occured that there was nothing we could do for some of them. Even with all those issues, I honestly think that this is the best video we made yet. Although I can see the plot issues and mistakes we made, this video is the child of our hard work. This may not be the best there is, but I am proud of this video. So I think that to the viewer, instead of watching the video to judge, watch the video to enjoy. So thank you to all who helped us. Thank you group mates who I couldn't have done this without. And thank you, for enjoying the show.

Editing Software's Blog

 We used three editing software's during the production of this video. The first one we used was called Capcut. This was used to help link the clips together for the video. This made the whole video for us and all we had to do was put it in. This software also helped trim many of the clips needed for our video. If we didn't have the ability to trim, we would have a 3 minute long video. This software is undoubtedly the most important software that we had to use. Without this easy to use software, we probably couldn't complete this video because all the rest are priced or on laptop. This software allowed us to do it on our phones meaning we could edit anytime we wanted. The next software we used was called Bandlab which helped with the audio part of the video. This helped with making the audio we spoke louder. We also could add sound effects to our video. So much audio that we couldn't add with capcut made this editing software required for our video. Our last editing sof

Changes made from film review

After Mark did the film review for us, we decided we had to make some changes to our video in order to make sure it is fit to be the best it can be. The first thing we changed were the voices in our video. We decided to edit the audio so that everytime we speak, we put it into a new track. We started using an app called Bandlab in order to fix the audio. This helps alot with adding the audio, putting effects, lowering and raising volume, putting filters, and many other things. When putting the audio on a different track, we made it louder. This made it so we can actually hear the audio. Since we couldn't go out to film, we worked on audio. The only thing that we actually could work on is audio. This made it hard to fix all of Mark's problems. We still tried our best to make things right though. Although it was hard and rigorous, we fought with everything we had. Our battle was fierce and upsetting, but in the end we won. This video is the reason that we have struggled so far an

 When editing the video, we dound out there was a problem with some of the footage. Most of it was just filler content that made no sense. Me and Jason decided that we honestly had no other choice than to go back out to record. This was a good oppurtunity to fix what the peer reviewer had problems with the video. So we got Ethan and went back out to film. We cut out the filler content out and were left with around 30 seconds left to film. So we discussed what we were gonna do. If we redid the other scenes but longer, it would just be filler. I proposed the idea that we focus on adding onto the video. This was risky because it would not be featured on the script or storyboard. But we figured it was a risk we had to take. We got out there and continued from where me and Jason clashed. Once we clashed, we jumped back to get space. Then, Jason saw Ethan's sword and decided to dual wield. Then Jason rushed at me while dual wielding and attacked me. I guarded 3 of his attacks because he

Peer Film Review

The one who wrote the criticisms for our video was a junior named Mark. Mark is an aspiring rapper and has made many songs already. I wanted to ask Mark to make a criticism for our video because I thought that he would have the most unbiased opinion. So me and Jason asked Mark if he could watch and review our video. At first after the first time he watched it, he laughed which was fine because I would have done the same thing. After he finished laughing he watched it again and started criticizing. He said many things like I felt the overall emotion in the battles. The suspenseful moments caught my eye quite quickly upon only just now seeing the characters. The angles were thought out carefully and executed in the right way. The sound effects were relatively as close as possible as can be. The facial expressions gradually shifted all throughout the film. The first 21 seconds of walking took too long. The voices were too low to a certain extent. The scenery was rather bright and didn'

We left off with our video only having the video clips all in the right order. We had to finish the video today with everything needed. So first we put in the music that we got. We got the music from Jamie Christopherson and the music fit perfectly into our video. The next thing we had to do was the voiceovers for the video. When recording outside, many of the sounds from others talking, wind, or sounds in general made our voices seem low. Even we couldn't hear ourselves while watching. We tried to go record again so we could hear our voices but it didn't work. We knew the only thing we could do to make our voices be heard is to do a voiceover of the lines. So we recorded our lines of dialogue and put them in the video in the required places. We did not voiceover all the scenes because some of them were alright or quiet. At this point the audio was put in with the voice lines and the music. We made sure to not put the music too loud so we could hear the voices. We also finished
