The Great Fall of Ella Valentina

    Hi pals! It's been three days since I've blogged. It's the fourth day of me being in the hospital. How am I doing? Not great! 

    I thought the title of this blog was funny, considering the way I injured myself. I basically fell from six feet in the air. Now, that doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, it really matters how you fall (or what you fall on). Anyway, I've been seen by probably a million doctors, and they are still planning to keep me in the hospital for the rest of the week. 

    This has been a major setback to our plans, and I have been feeling so awful for it. I mean, obviously it's not my fault that I had a major injury, but I still feel really bad that this is affecting my groupmates. To help, I've been in constant communication with my teachers about everything that's been happening and how I can help from afar. My plan is, considering I'm constantly watching movies and TV right now, to look at the way the scenes are filming to give us some inspiration when filming. I've taken some notes, and hopefully I'll be able to use them when I'm out of the hospital. 

    A good thing about this whole thing is that my friends have been very supportive through this whole process, which has been so nice. A few have visited me, bringing me flowers and candy and a bunch of other presents. Them hanging out with me at the hospital has really helped distract me from the pain. I think if worse comes to worse, maybe we can film in the hospital. 

    But I'll update when I'm out! Hopefully soon...


    Yours truly, 


    Ella Valentina Agnese

Hmmm… Decisions, Decisions

Image
      What’s up guys! What’s going on? It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to blog without guidelines!      Sabrina, Charlize, and I had a talk today about roles in our final project. We don’t have a “team leader” or anything, so we need to decide who does what in order to make sure everyone gets something done. As in, who plays the characters, who’s doing the voice over, who’s actually filming everything, etc.      This is a really important step in the process since for our music video, we had some disagreement about it. We all agreed that we can’t let that happen again, so that’s why we did this.      So, to start, we determined our actresses. We talked about having me as an actress, but I honestly don’t really feel comfortable in front of the camera. So instead, Sabrina is going to play Madeline. Charlize said that she had a very specific way she imagined the voice over being done, so she wanted to do it herself. T...

Editing Blog: What's That? We're finished?

Image
      WHAT'S UP PALS!!! I am superr hyped right now. Why? Because we're done with our opening sequence!      So, like with the music video, Charlize came to my house to edit. We used the same editing software, Movavi editor, to do our final project. First, she, Sabrina (who was on facetime with us), and I made a game plan. We went through all the scenes we already filmed and discussed which ones we'll use and what order they'll be in.      Then, we put them all into the software. The files were way too big to email, so I had to create a new Google account and back the videos up on Google Photos. This was the easiest way to get them onto my computer.      Getting them onto Movavi was a whole 'nother deal. For some reason, the videos downloaded in the wrong file format, so they didn't work with Movavi. There was no way to download them differently, so I had to screen record each one and upload the screen recordings to Movavi. Alt...
