  Our product represents social groups by bringing awareness to what drugs can do to a person and how  things can come back around to hurt you in the long run. Our project engages audiences with the plot and how we filmed said project. There are many elements that bring together a sense of branding. In our production process we used a couple of different branding techniques such as brand name, brand messaging, brand imagery, brand experience, and brand personality. When thinking of our brand name we were also thinking about the name of our film and we were very stumped on this for a long time. We ended up coming with the name June Bug because that’s the nickname of the main character. This essentially became the entire brand since it revolved so much around the film. With the brand experience we didn’t really intend to make this such a large part of the filming process but it became one. So the audience was able to know how much we put into this film. My partner added our bloopers on o

The Finale

Image
 In class, we finished editing our project. We had Pedro bring in his computer again since Nicole's and I don't have working ones. Since we didn't do the title sequence last class we had to do it this time. We didn't fully remember how it should be done so we had to look at our film we did last year and what notes Nicole and I took in the beginning of the year. We struggled trying to make the title sequence because we kept going back and forth between fonts and how we wanted everything to look. It wasn't our best moment. When we can't agree on some things it gets pretty ugly. Once we got that finished with Nicole sent the other half of the film to Pedro. We knew we needed to send it to his email this time since sending it through texts didn't work last time. He got all of the scenes and we did the same thing as last time. We edited out any elongated parts where the person filming didn't stop in time. After that, we added everything else and repeated the

Fix it Felix!

Image
 As you know, we finished filming our project. Nicole and I can't bring our computers to school anymore which  made things a little complicated. Nicole's computer broke so she got a desktop and my computer doesn't work unless it is plugged in. Pedro has a computer that actually works so we will be using his. We are using iMovie and CapCut to edit our movie. We used the same platforms last year as well. Damaine used iMovie since he was basically an expert n editing, and Nicole and I used CapCut for our music video last year since iMovie wasn't cooperating with us. None of us are really experts in editing but we know the basics for the most part. Pedro has iMovie on this computer since he has a Mac and I have CapCut on my phone just in case something won't work on iMovie. We had to make a title sequence but we decided to just work on the film for now since it would most likely take the longest. We started by Nicole sending all the films to Pedro. He initially could no

Gotta Film Again

Image
 In the previous blog we talked about how we watched our film and needed to film again. When we talked we also decided on the date we wanted to refilm everything. We decided to film yesterday since we were all free and our schedules are usually really busy, well Nicole and I. We filmed after school at Nicole's house so I drove with her and Pedro followed behind us. When we got to Nicole's house we ate some snacks since we were hungry and went over what we planned on doing. What we realized was that we didn't like a lot of the park scenes. A lot of them had bad lighting, shaky camera shots, and the audio would cut in and out. The park scenes were usually the ones we rushed because it was so hot outside but we took our time since we needed to perfect it. Many things we had to keep reshooting because no one could stay serious. Others were because we couldn’t remember lines, and other were because of lighting or audio issues. After hoping we had everything correct we went back

Revision Time

Image
 We have finally finished filming. You know what that means. Revision and editing time. After we finished filming, a couple days after we talked about wanting to see it all together. Since Nicole had all of the shots in her phone she smashed them all together. We decided it would be best to not edit anything so we could see it all together and what scenes we needed to refilm. So with what we talked about Nicole edited the scenes where we shot the entire scene at once. To explain, when we had to go bac and forth when we were in Nicole's backyard, instead of going back and forth Pedro suggested just filming all of my scenes in one and all of their scenes in another. With that, Nicole only edited those parts and put them together to make the rough draft of the film. Since we decided this over the weekend we had to wait to see Nicole in school rather than her just sending it to us in our group chat. When we were in class we settled down for a little and then talked about the film. Nico

They're Caught!

Image
 Here it is. The finale we have all been waiting for. My group and I have been so excited to finish this film and couldn't be prouder. For this day, we had to film the last scene of the entire film. This scene was supposed to take place at night. We showed up to Nicole's house sometime in the evening so we didn't waste the day just sitting at her house. When we arrived to her house we talked for a little and her mom offered us food. We sat down and ate and just talked about life for the most part rather than the movie. After we finished eating we helped her mom clean up and talked some more. Once we finished washing dishes, we looked up what scenes we needed to do and what our lines would be. After we went over it a couple times, we headed to Pedro's car where he drove us to the park we went to before. Once we got there we went over the lines again because we forgot them already. We went over the lines and scenes again and then started filming. Since these scenes were m
