How did you incorporate technology in the process?
To film our movie we used an iPhone XS camera at 1080p HD at 60 fps. Using an iPhone made filming easy to transport between locations and upload to the computer to edit. After we finished all our filming, we uploaded the scenes to Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and cut scenes. I had never used Adobe Premiere Pro before and neither had anyone in my group, so we all helped each other out and gave it a try.
The first thing we did as a group in Adobe Premiere Pro was edit all the scenes together to make the film flow. We ended up having to trim some scenes down in the beginning and end of the film because we were close to three minutes instead of two. Lily was the main editor of the group because she got the handle of Premiere Pro sooner than the rest of us did and had the flash drive with our film edits on it. We all helped edit some scenes together to make it seem continuous and gave our input on what should go where.
Another aspect we brought into this process was titling. Titling is very important when it comes to films because it creates a brand for your film and is recognized every time you see that font and color. Titles also set a mood for the audience to feel about what is going to happen next. Our first attempt at titling our opening credits consisted of a red bold font that said "Girls Night" and appeared in the middle of the screen with no special effects. We realized that the title looked dull and did nothing to grab the audiences attention, so we revised it and made the title a white cursive font that said "Girls Night", but it pops in on the screen then fades out as our names appear. This new brand of titling creates a theme for the film and make it more personal.
Additionally, another aspect we brought into our film with the use of Adobe Premiere Pro was incidental music. This incidental music was used near the end of the film when Lily was walking outside at night, alone, and the stalker was closing in on her to create a sense of apprehension. The name of the sound we used was called "Fear", to really depict the tense mood of the ending of the film. We edited the sound clip down to about ten seconds to match up with the length of time of the scene it was needed for. We used Adobe Premiere Pro to add in our new sound, trim it down to match our scene and place it at the end of the film. We then uploaded our film to YouTube for it to be viewed.
