This is a timelapse of Jake and I working on our project together. We ended up adding our film to our blog, finishing with other blogs, and editing the CCR's. https://youtu.be/pzNeB_qKyTw

 For our movie poster, we decided to create a picture of an evil Sour Patch kid, since that is the main focus of the film. We worked with Canva and Google to produce this:   

 When we were adding the clips to the movie, we couldnt access apple music to add a soundtrack in. It kept on saying that it was unavailable.  We ended up using one audio that iMovie provides called "Ambient effect 2" and layered that over the clips. For the last couple of seconds, we ended up recording a sound off of apple music on voice memos called " Wrath" and worked with iMessage on the Mac to get it into iMovie. 

 For this film, we decided to use iMovie to edit this. We filmed some parts multiple times so we were able to pick which ones we liked best and so we can clip them all together. I sent the clips from my phone to my Mac computer and then added them to the iMovie editing area. We started by putting the clips in order and playing the movie. We kept on changing this such as the length of the clips, deleted any bloopers, and made some scenes floe with each other such as when I sit on the couch and when I close the bathroom door.  We then deleted the audio from the clips and added eerie music to help foreshadow the events that were going to come.  We also added a freeze frame on the last clip to show the drawing on the mirror and then added a fade into black with a j cut.

 Since we had to change our concept of our film, we also had to change the title. We knew that these ideas needed to come from something regarding the Sour patch used in the film. We ended up with a title; Gummy Grave. We also wanted to make a poster promoting the movie. We worked closely with canva and ended up with this. 

 As we started filming, we were trying to find the best angles to use and what would really portray the settings and events happening.    We were looking over our notes on camera angles so we could find the shots that fit the events best. We used shots such as over the shoulder, low angle shot, establishing shot, tilt shot, and still shots.
