Intro Blog

 Hello, my name is Luke Hamill and I am 16 years old. I am a sophmore in high school who is taking the media studies course. All year I have been learning about film and all the technical things about it. I have also been making film content throughout the year as well. I have made 2 projects so far. In the beginning of the year I made a commercial promoting a product. That was a lot of fun and I learned a lot throughout the process. I made that with a group of 2 other people. Next, me and my group nade a music video. We chose an already existing song and filmed a music video to match the song. I also learned a lot throughout this process. Knowing all the stuff I know now I am so excited for our next project. Our next project is filming the opening sequence to a film. I am excited about this because I have always wanted to turn my ideas into something physical. I have a lot of ideas about movies and I am excited to finally use one of them. I know a lot more than I did about film making and I believe I can make something I will be proud of. I want to try and be very creative with my film and not make something cliche. I want my idea to stand out. It's going to be a lot of fun. Overall, I am very excited to produce this opening sequence to a film.

Research: How to make a short film

  Research: How to make a short film        The words short film are a teaser. Although the name may sound like it's an easy quick process, short films take a lot of time, effort, and energy. I learned from this video that planning is one of, if not the, most crucial of all steps in the short film making process. One of the most key takeaways in planning I got from this video is that it is crucial to write for the kind of movie you are trying to make. Now this sounded obvious until I thought about it deeper. When writing our script and planning for the creation of our movie it is key that we do not bite off more than we can chew, meaning do not try to incorporate things into our film that we know will not be possible for us to create. For example, we must make sure we do not go over budget and include pieces that will cost more than we would be willing to spend, and not writing for a cast that would include more than the people we know will be accessible to us. After setting that

Production Blog: Editing Again

Image
 Yesterday, I didn’t complete editing my entire short film. So today, I resumed editing. I got on my computer and started up my editing software. The editing software I use is on CapCut. I went over all the editing I did yesterday. This way I could see where I left off and what needed to be done. I made a mental list of what needed to be done at the end of the day. Today was pretty much the last day of editing so I had to make sure everything was done. After all of that I began editing. I pretty much just did what I did yesterday but on different clips. I started with adjusting the clips to the correct length. This made sure there was no background noise or talking. This also made sure there was no awkward silences. I then added music. This really brought the short film together. After that, I added some text to the clips. I watched it all together to make sure it was correct. After that, I put on some finishing touches. This all took only about an hour. Overall today was another succe
