We decide to add in a black screen at the end so others that watched this can get a better understanding on what the movie will be about. On the black screen, we added in "Keep watching to follow them in their college baseball journey". Due to this, we had to move our title page to the beginning instead of the end because it looked weird with two black screens and words at the end and looked much better with it in different sections of the movie film. We also tried to make the movie in a better resolution with clearer vide but was very hard because of how big the film was and took awhile to render it.

  Film #2 Peer Reviews What specific elements of the film opening did you like? Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific) What suggestions do you have for changes? I liked the use of props in the opener. No Have a narrator to explain what is happening instead of having to hear music. I really liked the way the video flowed and all the different camera angles which were used Nothing left me confused I recommend changing the music instead of having the same thing loop the whole time because it made me lose focus. You should also add an intro so your video is long enough The music was fitting to the playful vibe that the opener gave off. The filming was good and I could understand the what the characters were doing and the role they played. I liked how the scenes were cut as well, and how the characters interacted with each other. The plot ...

 - This week, we decided to work on the background music for our film because we have finished putting in all of our clips. The green bar underneath is the music being played during the film. - The same people working on this weeks editing is the same as last week. Not much work had to be done this week besides little final touches to clean it up. -For audio, we watched tutorials on how to upload music into our film without running into copyright issues and found the sound that fit best for our film. - We spent 2 class periods trying to figure out how to get the music on the computer. Then once we figured it out, we spent another class period trying to pick a song that we all agreed on.  -Overall, editing went very well this week and we finished the video completely. 

This was the screen during the editing process. We used iMovie to edit our film because that is the software that we felt the most comfortable with. Overall, iMovie gave us no issues  while editing and everything went smooth. This is a photo of my group member and I working on the editing. We all worked together to decide what order the clips are in and made sure they were the right length.  We decided to put the titles at the end of the opener to make it a little more dramatic. The title that we came up with is, "The Next Level". This gave a good theme example of  going to college to play baseball/Softball which is the next level for high school athletes. We chose the title to go into the middle of the frame. Some of the video effects and transitions we used were in between each clips. We used the fade away transition for most of them because they fit the best. We also used cross dissolve, and cross blur.  So far in our editing process, we have not used any audio bu...

    This was our second week of filming. Me and my partner Courtney and Theresa were able to get on the field this week. We completed all of the shots we needed for our movie opener this week. We did not have any issues either. We worked and planned out our day of filming very well. We made sure we would be able to get on the field by having an administrator take us out to the field and unlocked all the gates for us. We  had all the equipment we needed set up such as cleats, gloves, balls, and bats. The weather and the lighting was perfect for our day of filming as well. 1. The first to pictures we got from filming this week are me and Theresa fielding a ground ball and throwing ball to first. These shots play a big role in our movie opener because the majority of the film is Peter and I playing baseball. Courtney took these photos while filming also. 2.  These 3 photos are shots we took of me catching while Theresa pitches. These are also shots featured in our movie...
