 Hello Blog! Camila and I came up with our film idea with a lot of inspiration. Camila and I are both horror film fans. Even though we like horror, we also enjoy suspense films. We have watched different and the same films. We thought of two possible pitches for our film. One of them was "A girl is having a dream and cannot wake up and keeps reliving the dream." The other pitch we thought about was "A crazy obsessed girl has a boy crush, turns out he is not real." We decided to use the pitch of "A girl is having a dream and cannot wake up and keeps reliving the dream."  Camila and I both decided that this film will not be difficult. We don't want much of a challenge. However, we still want it to be creative. We want to produce something that will be enjoyable to watch. Our scenes will include many sound effects. Our opening sequence will be filled with many creativities. The acting will make it suspenseful. We are also planning on including one of our

Hey blog. Camila and I watched many movies and shows before planning our film.  We took a lot of inspiration from many films. Camila and I both have watched many horror and suspense movies for inspiration. Camila said she watched "X", "Pearl", and "Gone girl." She said these films have given her ideas on how we could make our film. She said the characters and the acting can guide us with the directing. I have watched "Get out", "Us", and "Joker." When I watched these films, I paid very close attention to the acting. The acting in these movies seemed serious. We want our film to be feel suspenseful. Even though we want the film to have suspense, we do not want it to have too much horror. At the end of our film, we add a plot twist. The plot twist does not change much in the story. Camila helped with making the plot twist. The plot twist has a horror scene but we decided to make it not too scary. We want to entertain the audienc

 Hello Blog! Camila and I have been discussing our final task. We have talked about ways to make the film better. Our main goal is to entertain the audience. We want the film to be suspenseful. We're going to add many different sound effects. Another way we're going to make the film suspenseful is by choosing different camera angles. We are going to use many different angles. We want to use high angles and low angles. We will also use tracking shot movement. Camila will be the one recording most of the scenes in the film. I will be the one acting in most of the filming scenes. I want to create a eerie mood. Our story will have a major plot twist at the end. The plot twist will definitely engage and entertain the audience. We made some minor changes to the script. We added more scenes and less dialogue in it. Some scenes are not suspenseful, only some. We hope to come up with more ideas for the film. We will ask our friends for feedback. We want to know if they agree with our fi

 Hey Blog! My partner Camila and I are currently deciding our music choices for the film. We want the film to have suspenseful sound effects. I found some sound effects on youtube. We want to create an auditory experience that enhances the tension and atmosphere of each scene. Camila and I came across various sound effects. We are still deciding which ones to use. Each sound effect we find is carefully selected to offer the desired emotions in the audience. Every sound we decide to include in the film contributes to the overall sense of suspense. Camila and I are committed into getting every detail just right for the audience to feel entertained. The sound effects we chose need to match with the scenes of the film. Camila has been searching for sound effects to use. Whatever she finds she shows me, and I give her feedback. This is how we come into an agreement in choosing the right sound effects. Adding sound effects add depth and texture to the storytelling. The sound effects have to

 Hello again blog! Camila and I are still planning our editing for our film. Once we have all of the footage, editing will be a peace of cake for us. We have discussed what editing apps to use. Camila does not have much experience with editing. I will do most of the editing for the film. Camila will tell me her ideas on how to adjust and edit what is needed in the film. I have editing many videos in my past. I use different apps. I use tiktok, capcut, and instagram. All of these apps have different functions. They either add effects, sound, and they make videos able to be merged. We have the apps we need. When I collect the footage from my laptop, I will send them to my phone. Whenever I edit, I edit using my phone. When I use my phone to edit, I have easier access to files and different apps all at once. I will try to make different editing projects so me and Camila can decide which one looks better. Once we have our editing plan finalized, we'll start organizing the footage accor

 Hey Blog! We already planned our filming. We have everything we need. To edit, we're going to need to put all the filming footage in a file. This will help keep everything in place. Since we are using my camera to record, I will transfer everything into my laptop when we have every clip we need. We will be creating a timeline by placing clips in sequential order according to the script and storyboard. We want to make sure everything's going according to the script. Camila and I will majorly focus on the shots and key plot points. Once we finish the first edit, we'll all take a look to make sure it's what we want. Then, we'll use transitions and effects to make the story look more creative. We will add many different sounds to it. We want to make sure the final cut grabs people's attention and really brings our story to life. If Camila and I do not like how the film turns out, we will adjust it and see what is wrong with it. Whatever looks out of place we will d

Hello Blog. Camila and I have been discussing the film. We have talked about ways to make the film creative and entertaining for everyone. We brainstormed ideas together, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and movies we have watched. We both seem to know about filming. Since our film is a suspense film, we watched many movies in that category to study them. Every film we watched has a different storyline and plot. Not every suspense film is the same. We looked at various movies to get inspiration from each of them. Although many suspense movies seem to be horror, we are just adding suspense to it and not much horror. We want to add suspenseful music. We want the viewers to feel entertained. Camila and I want to make an engaging plot with unexpected twists. Including this in the film will make it more entertaining and creative. Acting also plays an important role here, and that is why Camila and I have rehearsed our script. We have read over it many times. We need to be profe

Greetings Blog! My partner Camila Villatoro and I are going to be working together. We both came up with many ideas for the film. We both exchanged many ideas and received each other's opinions. We discussed how to begin and produce the film. We were deciding between two pitch blogs. The first one was "a crazy obsessed girl has a boy crush, turns out he is not real", and the other pitch was "a girl is having a dream and cannot wake up and keeps reliving the dream". In the end, we chose the "a girl is having a dream and cannot wake up and keeps reliving the dream". After coming in agreement with this decision, we thought about where to film it. Our choices were Camila's house, my house or my school friend's house. In the end we chose to film at Camila's house. We chose her house because it will make the filming easier because her house is very spacious. Since our planning is almost done, we want to decide a time to start filming. We are most
