Final movie This is the final short film video, we worked hard to make sure it was what we were envisioning at the start of the process. We wanted to make sure the film was everything we had been hoping it would be. We worked hard to edit and film the movie into what it is. I hope you enjoy my five minute film, "Live".  Website link: https://rdbarnhardt.wixsite.com/website Front of Postcard                                                  Back of Postcard

Planning Blog 12: Karli Norkin Before adding the music I had to purchase it. I had to make sure it was in my editing website. I had to buy two songs. I started with the song that comes on in the car. This one was hard to make sure the beat matched with where it was in the car. I had to cut down the song in the beginning. I had to then line up the song and fade it. Then I had to go through the next couple of scenes until the final scene in the montage. I then cut the song off at the end of that scene on the paddle boards. I had to then fade the song at the end again. I had to make sure it didn't end abruptly. After I faded it I had to then edit the last scene and make it shorter so it would meet the five minute minimum. I then added the final song into the clip. I faded the beginning and end so it would go together. That was it for that day, the next day I began to finish with the titles and the voiceover. I added the beginning titles with two titles in the first clip. Then I made t

Planning Blog 11: Karli Norkin The beginning of editing started with us putting in our clips. We had to put them in order. We started by putting all the clips in. Then we began to cut them down. We started editing on my computer. So that was the computer we had to always edit on. We had to choose the best scenes to input from what we filmed. After we cut most of them down we had to decide the best transitions for the clips. Some clips did not need transitions. They only cut to the next scene. The ones with the transitions we had to go through them to decide. We needed to add in the music as well. We had to finish cutting down the scenes in order to figure out the music. We found some difficulty with some of the scenes and the sounds in them. We needed to increase the sounds in some of the scenes with lines. The wind made it hard to hear them talk. Increasing the sound in those clips took some time. I had to listen to each clip and increase it slowly with each clip until it was perfect.

Planning Blog 10: Karli Norkin The last scene to film was the beach scene. The scene opens with a setting shot of the beach. It shows the time of day and where they are. Then it cuts to Lily sitting on the sand. She is talking to her dad who is not there. She is saying her goodbyes and having an emotional moment. When she is talking to her dad Natalie walks up behind her. She then meets her and sits down. The angle switches to behind them. Then as they continue to talk it switches to the side to mainly show natalie. Then the scene cuts back to their backs with the water in front of them. The newscaster would now come on with the voiceover. The two girls now look at each other with shock. The camera then tilts up to the sky. It then slowly pans to the side and tilts back down. It is now showing the sand, water, sky, and buildings. This was supposed to be used for the titles, but we have figured out that needs to go in the beginning. We filmed that scene leaving extra time for where we w

Planning Blog 9: Karli Norkin  After the hair dye film we had to finish the day with the paddle boarding. We filmed us getting on the board then moving around the water for a bit. This was the end of that filming day. Now we had to film another day to complete the whole film. We did this the next Friday. We decided there was only a bit left we had to film. This included the goodbye scene with Charlotte and Lily and the scenes with Noah or Natalie as we changed it. We started with the goodbye scene. We filmed this infront of some trees and bushes making the location unclear. We filmed the conversation with over-shoulder shots and wide shots. We then ended that scene with them hugging. The next scene we needed to film was Lily running to Natalie’s house. We filmed Lily running through the street then turning into her house. We then cut to her running up to the door. She then stops for a second to create anticipation. Then she knocks on the door. This is all filmed behind her with the cam

  Planning Blog 8: Karli Norkin  Filming the beach scene with the best friends was very easy and quick.The beach was very nice visually. There was also a deck Rylie could stand on. While Lily and Charlotte ran down it into the water. The plan when filming was to keep the camera as still as possible in this scene. We wanted it to seem as if you were standing there watching them. Then we had the camera tilt up into the sky as Lily entered the water. This gives more anticipation for the viewers and leaves them not knowing exactly what they were doing. Then we had to film the scenes set at the house. We started with the scene where Lily and her mom find out an asteroid is coming. We filmed this before our hair was green. We decided on a pan angle to get the television in before we show their faces so the audience will know what they are looking at when they find out. We made sure the angle the camera was at was in a way you could see Lily and her mom at once. Once we filmed this scene we n
