Filming and Editing Blogs: learning to film from my computer

Hello, my name is pascal bazile and I will be answering one of the questions that you asked so I will be recounting the What happened when I was trying to film as well as my experience filming. Yesterday I stated in my blog as to what kind of filming that I will be trying to do today that is the want to be able to film on my computer screen so I can edit it in to be able to have a scene in where my character gets an email from his sister. The entire scene is meant to be very important and I could not get rid of it because it has some story significance as to why some of the other scenes in the entire 2-minute movie pitch scene happen. I wanted to film it in a way that wont cause to much trouble and I decided to find a way to film the entire sequence including my own computers noise when it is typing to make it a lot more realistic. Before I made my storyboard, I originally wanted to make the entire sequence be filmed on my phones camera so I can capture my typing as well as the entire process of going to my email account. But the problem was that I also wanted to make sure that I would be able to not get caught in the lighting because of the fact that my computer is good at reflecting anything that is in front of it  and with that the filming will be problematic. As well as to how when I was gong to add it to the storyboard I thought that it could not be done thanks to the fact that filming it would require a weird angled position for me to be able to get everything into the shot so I decided to scrap it. Thanks to that I decided to record the entire thing by the screen but in the end that entire process of trying to record everything without using an outside source was difficult. Just like when I was trying to edit when I was trying to record I had to deal with many different adds that said that they will be able to help me record on my computer so I truculently tried some of them and the experience was very bad. They were all very bad and would have caused many problems for my computer the only reason that I did not get any problems for my computer was because I had some virus protection on my computer. I searched until 2:50PM because I finished my work and had a break from my work so I hurried up and tried to find a solution but I could not find anything so I continued to try to finish another project I had for another class. I was finally able to find what I was looking for while doing a project for another one of my classes the class that I was in wanted me to do a PowerPoint and with that I was able to discover a screen recording feature. With this PowerPoint feature I was able to find a way to be able to record everything I needed to record I was able to find out how to record by following some instructions when researching how to record on it and I started. So, I was able to record the entire section and then went to save it as a piece of media everything was going very well, and I was able to record everything that I needed at this time. I edited it in with all of the other footage that I had and I thought I was done for now I was going to go switch to focusing on the next part of the project that  I need to do but there was a particular problem that I had. In the film when I opened it up for my sister to check on the footage, I found out that there was music on the background, so I went back to the start deleting that certain recording and spent time Reshoot & reediting the entire sequence. At 3:00PM I went in my room to record the entire sequence I made it faster this time so it would not take as much time as it originally did lower it from 28 seconds to 20 because in this assignment every second counts. But the problem remained because of how my family loves to not pay attention to what I want them to do they continued to be loud when I was filming making it take much longer than it needed to take. But at least I finished it and with that I was able to get everything I needed and finally finished the filming for this Monday it was a tiring effort especially with dealing with my family, but I was able to get everything done. Thank you for reading this blog it took me a long time for me to be able to finish this section of my movie pitch scene but in the end I wish you a good day and for you to do we with all your future endeavors.

  Hello, my name is pascal bazile I am currently in my last week to complete my assignment, so I decided to hurry up with my filming as well as my editing and I think that I have done well enough to get a lot done. I was able to do things that will get me a lot of progress I only need to film some more scenes and then I will need to edit in some music during some scenes to be done. I started by filming the scenes that where the least important the one in where I would film the food that I made after microwaving it and a scene in where my killer holds his knife waiting to strike. I was able to store some of my new scenes to make them have more of my credits I had some more free space to add credits so that is what I was able to do in the end. I was able to also film the shots in where the victim sees his opened computer and walks towards it as well you know all the easy to do shots in my blog. It was hard to do and I did not exactly get all of those shots in but in the end I was abl...

final task:omniscience eyes

 hello there my name is pascal bazile and i have now finished my entire beginning film scene while i had a lot of problems making the film and a lot of problems editing the film i was still able to get it done thanks to help from my sister and her friends who came in from Haiti two days ago to help us film if my sister could not. Filming was awful because of how many times my computer either was not working or because of the amount of scenes that i needed to replace or redo because some actors mainly my sister where not able to be there at that time meaning that i had to replace all of her scenes. I sadly went over the time limit for the film with me thinking it would be three munities instead of two minutes so i improvised and halved it to make the entire thing shorter i still think that the scene would be comprehensible if you put the pieces together. The point is that someone is going out to kill people it also shows how this person can move around the area at will its a basic h...

  Hello there, my name is pascal bazile and I will be telling you the story of what I have been doing during the time that I was not discussing my project to you the current reader. This blog will show that I made a lot of progress during the past few days and right now I will do my best to share that progress with you at this current moment so here is what I did. So, to start in my old blog it discussed the idea that I was not able to get a good mask for my sister when me and my family went shopping around so I ended the entire blog at that moment. Now then me and my family went back to those stores hoping we just missed them we went back at Saturday and then came hope thanks to none of them having any, so we decided to do some online shopping for the mask. My sister was able to buy one of those them from amazon we where able to get a ski mask that was able to fit my sisters head. We then did some small things so we could make sure that her eyes will be seeable through the mask to...
