  Editing Hi guys! As you know I have finally finished editing and I would like to share with you how that all went! As you guys know I used adobe premier pro 2026 for editing my movie and let me tell you, there were a lot of complications. I knew adobe was very difficult to edit in but I never realized just how HARD it was. Not having partners made the editing process very challenging for me because I didn't have anyone to give me ideas or help me at home.  First off, I started by adding all my clips onto my computer then onto my flash drive. I organized my clips in a folder and deleted all the clips that I didn't need in my film. After that I uploaded everything in adobe and organized my clips so I can get ready to edit. I used AI to help me make a movie title that says "PANIK" in red font, and a production company logo. I didn't have time to waste so I thought using AI was the most simple choice. AI actually came up with really good logos that I really liked. I...

 Hi guys! I recently just got back from break, and I wanted to update you guys on a couple of things. First off last Monday I decided to start organizing the clips that I previously filmed a couple of weeks ago. I had most of the scenes done. When I started filming originally, I decided to do the harder scenes first. However, over break I wanted to get the rest of the scenes done with my two actors. The annoying part was my main actor decided to leave town without giving me a heads up so my whole plan of filming over break got ruined.  The good news is my mom recently just got the new iPhone 17 pro and I asked her if we can use it for filming and she said yes! I talked to my teacher about the camera quality and he told me that the iPhone 17 pro has way better quality than his camera. So I asked him if it would be a better idea filming on that and he told me yes. Now my new equipment is the iPhone 17 pro! I'll keep you guys posted on when I'm going to officially start filming o...

  Filming Hey guys! I have finished the filming of my new movie Panik, let me tell you how it went.  Filming early on with the camera that was given to me by my teacher didn't really go well. I ran into a couple of complications since I never really used a professional camera before. Using the gimbal overall was a little difficult because it takes awhile to set up. Balancing the device is really difficult. I learned how to use it when my teacher showed me but once I got home the camera wasn't as balanced as it was when  my teacher did it. No matter how much I tried to mess with it, it just wouldn't balance properly.  The camera was super hard to focus initially. I learned that if you halfway hold down the photo button it focuses the camera. The first night we started filming I didn't get all the clips I needed, and the second time we filmed I realized it was probably a better idea to shoot with equipment I am more comfortable using since I'm the only one working on ...

       I decided that the best software to edit my project on would be adobe premier pro 2025! I chose this software because I feel very comfortable with it. I have used adobe freshmen year in my photography class so when I started my media studies class I already was familiar with this software.  I've also used adobe throughout my media studies class to film other project so I'm very familiar with the program.      I am using this opportunity to learn even more about the software because I want to create a very professional movie! I am excited to explore more about sound and editing overall. For the poster of the movie, I haven't yet decided what app I want to use. I will update you guys on my poster and everything else next week!

Character Analysis Nate:  Age :17 Personality: Quiet, layed back, observant, introverted Role: The victim Background: Nate is a regular high school student who prefers spending time alone at home rather than going out with friends. He really enjoys playing video games with his online friends, watching movies, scrolling through social media, and playing Clash Royal ( his favorite game of all time). Nate often time spends most nights alone because his parents are always working late. His dad is often times off on a business trip, and his mother works nightshifts at the hospital. Therefore, Nate is used to these quite nights in the house. Although Nate seems calm on the outside, he tends to overthink most situations and panics easily.  Antagonist  Age: 17-18 (unkown) Appearance: Black mask, dark clothing Role: The mysterious stalker Background: Very little is known about the person behind the mask, which makes them even more unsettling. The figure who watches Nate clearly ha...

The Meaning Behind My Film Essentially, I started off this project knowing I wanted to do a horror genre, however not knowing anything else. I was in class brainstorming ideas for what the name could be before I even figured out what my film was going to be about. I went onto chatgpt to give me horror movie idea names and that didn't help me one bit because they were all generic.  As I was creating my story board right as I got to the scene where the end of the movie is, I randomly came up with the idea "Panik". This name is perfect for what the movie is because throughout the whole 2 minuets the audience is in a constant panic. There are scenes where an anonymous person is messaging the main character, the antagonist is watching the character outside the window, and, scenes the tv turns the a broadcast announcement.      Why I called the title "Panik" and not instead of "Panic" was because my main actor's name is "Nick" and I thought it ...

  Locations on set The locations that I am going to be filming at is my living room/kitchen and bedroom. I chose these two locations because it is going to be the easiest to film at. Since I am working by myself I am going to do it from home which is nice because since I live far from school I wouldn't have to meet up with anyone. Bedroom scene Kitchen scene I captured these two shots from the camera footage I took.

                                                               Camera Settings on the Canon Rebel T6i Yesterday I decided to sit down and tweak with some of the camera settings on the Canon Rebel T6i. I noticed the first day I shot the focus on the camera wasn't the best. Whenever I tried to film a scene the camera would go blurry and wouldn't focus properly. The camera wouldn't react well in certain lighting either and that really bothered me. So, I sat down and watched some Youtube videos to educate myself on some of the camera settings. Videos I watched: https://youtu.be/g3XS1CBznk4?si=5xBRVS-3DwlC7Cpz https://youtu.be/NcrYoDY1vNo?si=J81HXL1RlmQ5WPxi https://youtu.be/fUmK20DatqU?si=YYIWEt-oNy4ODFw4 As I was watching these videos I was following the instructions it gave me. The information was supe...

  Updates!! Its already week 4 which means I need to film the rest of my project as soon as possible. I got really sick this week, I got the flu from school which means I've been set back by a week which isn't good. However this week I'm going to focus on borrowing the camera from my teacher and filming the days I don't work. I have work Wednesday and Friday and my actors also work so I would need to talk to them about making free time to film. Over all I've been super stressed because I only have a little amount of footage and have a whole journey of editing everything together. Next week is spring break which means I get the weekend and a whole week to get everything together. If things go well, I can get footage this week, if my actors are busy at least film this weekend. Then, next week I would edit all week to perfect everything and have extra time to edit more if I don't like something.  This week definitely set me back a little bit but these things occur ...
