issues

 With spring break coming it was hard to time manage as leaving an having to pause and work from somewhere else was hard, the internet wasn't as good and had to begin to work remotely. Moreover, when going through the editing process it was hard to do when away regardless we were able to overcome this and believe that we have done a good job editing. After this issue we have been working hard to turn in this project in time and be able to do a good job as this project is very important and we have been working on it for a long time, very hard and it's scary that this  project is finally coming to an end. This process has been very different from what i was expecting in a good way as it has taught me many different things such as time management, team work, patience and many other qualities. I'm very excited to look over my final project and for you guys to see it as well! 

coming very soon.....

editing

 Wow it came the time to edit....can't believe that everything is happening so fast and this year has gone by so quick, i feel like i have been working on this project for way longer than i actually have and to think that we are already editing so exciting. Well we started this process by first sitting down and writing different ideas that we wanted to incorporate in the video such as, adding some background suspense music in some scenes, adding times in some scenes between others. After doing this we started to make everything we wanted reality, we watched many videos on how to do the things we wanted to do and we also helped each other out and we are doing a great job. 

Be posted for more information.. :)

techniques

Hello, i'm here to share with you part of the process of editing and how we felt...

Well when we started the editing process it wasn't easy as we wanted todo a very good job and wanted to learn how to do editing techniques that would make our video well edited and moreover, have a great outcome. With this in mind we saw many youtube videos and many ideas started floating to add to our video, when we started the editing process ever since we go back and add little things that i believe have made ur film better.There are so many techniques to use while editing that truly give your video that spark just by adding simple titles, background music between other things we have accomplished what we wanted with our film opening i truly can't wait to share it with all of you! 

settings

 The setting is very important in a film as it could take place literally anywhere but as mentioned before this was a house party that went out of control, so the setting is a house as we had to mess up the house and make it crazy for the understanding of this party that went out of control. chairs re down cups everywhere people sleeping in the house that we don't know who they are, except the one guy we left in charge after we went to sleep;the setting is ultimately in a messy house. 

updates

Going through our film we have had to do many things such as create our own props and add different scenes that we weren't thinking of adding as when we started recording many other ideas came to head to make the film even better we added other characters that are making the film better. We also changed the script as we had other things in mind that we thought could make the opening better. I'm very excited to keep going with this project as i believe is coming out very well and an't wait to share it with you guys and get your feedback. 

Title

Last Night is the title  to our opening film as we believe this fits the meaning of our opening as our opening talks about two girls that don't remember much from the night before. this opening talks about the last night as the last night and as the actual last night since they will be grounded for a long time so it has double meaning, this is why we choose this title. Moreover, we thought this double meaning was interesting as you begin to realize it as the opening goes on. 

Target Audience

 The clear target audience for this film is teenagers ages 15-21 as this clearly reflects many teenagers life and their problems at that age and decisions made that later on come to regret and learn from. Being a teenager comes with learning and with making bad decisions that will get us in trouble like in this case, this film represents moreover than the party what come with being a teenager that is indeed learning as we grow up by our own mistakes. 

Outfits

 Since we started filming we have figured out the outfits for our characters, me and my partner Isabela will be wearing the clothes from the night before as we fell asleep in them, and we will have are makeup from the night before as we did not take it off. The other characters will be dressed as the night before as well with party clothes to represent the night before.

Here are some examples..

The next steps

Hello Hello...

After collecting the proper props we needed we decided it was time to begging filming. Tuesday & Wednesday we got everything ready and filmed the scenes that didn't require people,basically we filmed the scenes in the bedroom,in the house,pool and other places that didn't part take people. I loved filming and it was a relief that we finally started that process as it was causing me stress.

Next week we will be starting the filming with the characters that way we can be done with the filming process and continue with editing which will take a long time. We have done a great job from what we have done and the good work is going to keep going! 

Filming took a while as we weren't perfect and had tore record scenes as we went,we will be editing during spring break and hopefully will just take some time post break to finish little details as we should have most of it done. 

Upcoming

 In the upcoming week we will be starting costume creation, foley sound creation and starting the filming process. 

For this week we need to meet constantly, as me and Isabela will have to create all of this together, we have also asked a couple friends to be in our film as we will need more people for our plot. We have already thought of many ideas that will be incorporated in our films. 

Props + more

 For our project me and Isabela went to target to purchase props needed for our opening film, as we need to create our setting. We decided on buying ping pong balls, solo cups,a pool float, and we found empty glass bottles to represent the liquor. We will be adding things that we already have in ur houses and creating the mess that we need for the setting. 

For example, pantings will be knocked down, cups everywhere, tables all messy, just a complete mess everywhere. As we will be creating the morning after party effect and this is our approach towards it. 

As the weeks pass everything seems to be moving super quickly so excited to start the filming process....talk to you guys soon. 

The Explanation

I'm sure that my last post left you a bit confused well let me explain...

This storyboard starts with two girls waking up from a sleepover or so they think, they get up and see a mess everywhere with no  understanding on why there is so much mess. Then they get up and check their phones to see many post of a party that happened last night that looked much like one of the girls. Scared the girls leave the bedroom to come to the understanding that the party has been in their house. After seeing the whole house messed up cups everywhere people sleeping in the house even in the pool. Moreover, the two girls didn't know what to do since they were about to get into mayor trouble as they weren't allowed to have a party in the house and it went out of control. After seeing a video in social media about someone driving the dads car. They went to the garage to check on the car and the car has been stolen the girls are left in shook and the story rewinds to 24 hours before....when everything started.
