February 27 / 2024 For the review, I had my friend Kayla review our progress and take notes on it. Here are her following, exact words: "I absolutely loved the title, Housekeeper, I just feel like it gave a suspenseful vibe like The Beekeeper. It was a type of one-word yet not a one-word title, and it made it very interesting. I also liked the slanted title design. However for the designs, instead of three, I wish it was two because I feel like the two bold choices, to use the simple bold with the more slanted one, and not the one all over the place. I liked the plot, it was pretty good. But you know, this is a high school film, and productions are not too perfect. Besides that, it's a really good film. It used a good amount of conventions. Definitely make sure to redo that opening focal point, to make it more clear that this is where the scene is taking place. Make sure that the audience knows what they are watching."

February 26 / 2024 2 After taking the necessary shots that make up most of our video, we decided to finally add them to the actual project. To find which app we would use, we went through tutorials of different apps. We went through Alight Motion, Video Star, Kinemaster, Capcut, etc. In the end, we finalized using capcut because it was the simplest and easiest editor to use. Alight Motion was too complex and specific, too much work to adjust one scene. Video Star required in-app purchases which we decided was not necessary for the video.

To begin with, the opening scene is a black screen with letters that spell out, "our studio name presents". Followed by a close-up of the shopping cart, followed by a higher angle shot, to a close-up of her eyes. Then we added another black screen with letters saying the name of our production compa...
February 23 / 2024 My partner and I have accumulated approximately three days of filming experience at this juncture. However, there have been many interruptions and mess-ups in our scenes. I grew slightly impatient with the continuous adjustments required. Nonetheless, maintaining this consistency is integral to enhancing the quality of our content. My partner and I compiled a list of necessary adjustments, including refining non-verbal character development. In my recent blog post, I emphasized the importance of our actors delving deeper into character traits and immersing themselves in the background of our thesis. This aligns with our focus on effectively conveying points and advancing the plot, which revolves around creating a sense of fear and intrigue, deliberately blurring the lines between protagonist and antagonist. Exploring concepts such as blocking and staging, which are novel to us in film, has proven beneficial. Fortunately, the nature of filming allows us the flexi...
