Production; And We Have a Winner

Hey Gems.

It's that time again. Season finale of A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind. And today is all about the finishing touch and the final product. I know it's bitter sweet but let's put those feelings aside. So as you know the film was reviewed by a peer (for more on that check that blog). This installment is about all the changes and mishaps that occurred. Let's get into this.

So first let's address the elephant in the room. Well y'all wouldn't know this but the movie was over its run time. Which the reviewer and the group pointed out. Now there is deleted scenes which is always my favorite, maybe I can share that with all but first permission from Patrisha. Deciding which scene would be cut wasn't that hard. The problem was would the story make sense if this part is taken away. And if I'm being honest this all spiraled from the mirror maze incident. But even with the scene being deleted the story still followed a linear path.

So y'all remember when I told y'all the establishing shot was filmed on the Ferris wheel let's dive a bit deeper into that. Karina and Jennifer didn't particularly like the height so Madeleine and I were the ones to go on the Ferris Wheel. And when I tell you we took over 10 takes of that establishing shot simply because of how pretty it was. You know what scene there was a trailer for y'all I'll drop a clip from the Ferris Wheel. Which such keep y'all satisficed until release day.

Anyways editing took a bit of a turn. Okay when I say that it sound like sound bad happened. Which it didn't. The videos were originally sent from me to Karina by email but the videos were overexposed and weird looking. But easy fix we just sent them via Imessage. So crisis adverted and Lord know we could afford another crisis.

Well Gems that's all I have for this final episode. I am practically buzzing to get the movie to y'all. Release day is right around the corner. I can not wait. Anyways hold tight for the movie and keep shining. I'll see y'all at the premiere. Later!

Sincerely,

Makenna Jewels <3

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 buttercream

Production; The Art of Music

Welcome back Gems, today we are diving in to why I should not be allowed to choose a song. Do you all recall we I said I have a playlist dedicated to song I relate to? Then I say how to help we my final choice I used Wheel Decider to pick two songs . So let's start there from my journey on CapCut I used TikTok to add songs. From there I've learned only certain sound were allowed because of copyright. However that crisis was avoid as I used smaller clips of the music , also credit will be given to the artist. The songs I was going to used was Chaotic Tate McRae and The Archer Taylor Swift from her album 'Lover'. However after dealing with all of that I have decided to just use The Archer. This was the easiest route from me as a new editor but also the song just fits better in my opinion. That is not to say I don't like Chaotic I have much love for both of the songs. But honestly there needs to be a moment of silence of the lost for Chaotic. Look how pretty. With

Production; Starting to edit

I think I found my new mortal enemy, CapCut PC. Well Gems let me get into why this came to be. This is once again a glimpse of my chaotic way of planning and creating for a project. So update from last blog, Wheel Decide is helpful, so the songs will be 'Chaotic' Tate McRae and 'The Archer' Taylor Swift. Two songs that are amazing on their own so together they will be a blessing. Using the Spotify to preview the songs I can tell we are in for a treat. Now to why CapCut on the computer is actually the worst thing ever. I used the web browser instead of downloading the app. I sign in and notice their is no tutorial on how to work it. Which lead to my spiral as I had no idea what I was doing. So a little knowledge and lot of frustration I began my basic project. I upload the pictures, which was a whole other thing. As I go to choose the songs I notice the songs I'm looking for are not there. My first thought is maybe if I add the artist then the song will come up i
