Production: Editing; Step Right Up

While hello there, Gems. Enter if you dare into this editing blog. Did that sound scary I wanted to give my best haunted house impression. Yes, I this isn't a haunted house. Does it matter? Let's get into why you are here the editing process. Right this way.  

So the editing process has not changed that much since last project, well I'll explain. This time filming was done on my phone which I don't really care about, I have the storage. But it would mean I would have to send the videos to Karina who would the major editing. While at the fair we began to crop clips to their proper length. For instance if the take was 13 and the scene was 10 second we would shave off the extra 3 seconds. This is to ensure the film was the desired time. And since the shots were pretty much taken in order, ordering the shot were a lot easier.  Also this really isn't editing but the the the take we preferred the most the video was hearted so it was easier to find.

Filters were also added to the clips while at the fair. This was to brighten up the scene and bring it more to life. Also to add that ominous feeling to the scenes Because who knew Wednesday night would have so many people visiting the fair. The also leans over to why we are doing voiceovers. Okay I already know what y'all are think, Voiceover way to take us out of the film. First I appreciate the concern, I love that y'all care. And second the voiceover is necessary as the audio on the video are poor. And before y'all go dissing my phone, it was loud. I guess that's the charm of public spaces, but not for this movie.

Anyways Gems that's all I have for today. Hope you enjoyed. That a picture it last longer and keep shining.


Sincerely,

Makenna Jewels<3 

P.S. the title is from a song, can y'all guess which one? (hint: Taylor Swift) 

P.P.S see what I mean by it was full.

Intro blog; All about me

Welcome Gems to the story of my life.  My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. I grew up with my two younger sisters and two older brothers. And my favorite color is pink.  Now that the introduction is out of the way let's get into it. From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling.  It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination.  Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn really created this transportation for me. Baking is a passion of mine. It's like sharing in the art of creation, with sugar, spice and all that. My favorite personal recipe has to be my mini apple pies, that's all I can say about them (trademark pending). But y'know what beats baking desserts? Eating desserts, chocolate chip cookies, cake with but...

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this.  First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all.  Now that we had captured the ...

Research and Planning

 Welcome back Gems. Planning things about myself has never been easy, being honest about yourself them to other people. Welcome to how I start (or attempt to) this process.  I had no idea were to start.  Scrolling through hundreds of photos on both Google Photos and Snapchat as preparation.  So let's jump into it.  For pictures start from the beginning well the youngest with my siblings and I in purple. Then to the most recent picture of me in purple. And the last picture me on the first day of school.  Chronological order, a mini timeline of my life.  Videos are a lot harder than picture roughly 98% of my videos are of other people  so finding some to use was a challenge. Keep in mind these videos are featuring my sisters.  The videos are from my cruise to the Bahamas last September  as they are probably the only videos I am will to share with the general population. But hey, that's the point of planning.  Choosing songs was though...
