  This is our Final Task. We had so much fun making this. Enjoy watching it!

 Hey bloggers and welcome back to my blog. The sequence is looking greater than it has ever looked. We are very happy with how it is looking. All I have to do is upload the video on Vimeo and embed it into our next blog. This was a bit harder than I thought. My computer like last time was not working the best and I had to ask many people for help. It took up about like 15 minutes of my time. After the video was finally uploaded, I ran into the previous issues I had with my other forms of media I had submitted before. The sequence came out in 480p and made the sequence look horrible and as if it were filmed on an old camera. I had to fix the quality of video before publishing. This made the publishing of the video taking far longer. After uploading the video I sent the video to my friends for any last second checks before uploading it onto blogger. I made sure it looked good on their end as well, to my demise it didn't look very good on their end. The video was cropped on both sides

 Hey bloggers and welcome back to our own opening sequence.There's been a few things I want to update you guys on. Together as a group we came together and decided to change some of our film. We wanted to come up with names that seemed professional. The production company name was a very fast decision and it only took us about 5 minutes. The name we came up with is called Wildlife Productions. This made sense to us as we filmed our film mostly outdoors and during these outdoors scenes a majority of them were filmed around natural environments. The next name we had to come up with was the studio name. This name took longer than it was supposed to. We came up with a studio company name JENC studios. This made sense to us as it was the first letter of all our initials in the order we believed would sound the best. We did not want the titles to take away the attention of the actual film. So keeping a simple title was the best way at sounding both professional and not distracting the au

Welcome back bloggers! Today's blog is going to be different from my other blogs.  The previous blogs have focused on refining and enhancing my opening sequence. This blog, focuses more on the things I neglected to write about during the previous three months, such as how our group collaborated and where we purchased the props for our set. First, let's talk about how we assembled the objects required to create the finest potential sceneries for our situations. To prevent one of us from getting really hot, we initially picked up a gorilla suit from Party City and made sure it was breathable. We had to improvise by forming an animal shape out of rags. We couldn't use an actual dead animal. We had also prepared our own artificial blood with inexpensive components that we had on hand. I decided to scrap the blood since it was too gooey, colorful, and cartoony. For the most polished and realistic impact on the opening segment, we simply went and brought a whole gallon of dark fa

Hey bloggers! Welcome back. Today, I am going to be looking back at my film and continuing to make more changes. Today I was analyzing the pacing and order of the scenes. Every time I rewatched it, something didn't seem right. I could never put my finger on it. I have been thinking about this all week, trying to figure it out. I tried moving the scenes around. Trying new structures of the plot but it strayed too far from the pitch, which made it confusing. I was getting increasingly frustrated while I was doing this. It was putting my creative thinking into work and it was stressful. I decided to rest for a few days and clear my head, and rewatched the sequence again. I realized that I overthought this too much. All the sequence needed was a few seconds cut off of it for the pacing and transitioning to look better. After I figured this out, I started looking for fluff in the sequence that could be cut off and it wouldn't matter, it wouldn't hurt the sequence. I also kept in

Hey bloggers, welcome back. Today I will be working on my sequence and attempting to make it better. Considering how much I fixed during the film review and the critique I used. It was very hard for me to see what was still wrong with the opening sequence. This meant I had to watch and rewatch our current sequence so I could realize what I had to improve. The first thing I fixed was the position of the titles. At times the titles blocked out some important backgrounds. After I noticed this, I moved almost all the titles so that they wouldn't cover anything important in the scene. I also had to make sure that titles were still seen and not ignored because of were they were positioned. I did this by contrasting them with dark red so it would be noticed. I even tried adding a glow to make them more noticeable. I ended up removing the glow because I thought it looked weird and didn't match the vibe of the theme. It was also very hard to blend in with the brighter and darker scenes.
