Ideation
Our first draft for the storyline was slightly different. It
involves a short getaway-like film, almost like a vlog of us
travelling. After consulting with the teacher, he suggested
to add more plot to the story. He also gave us an idea of
adding an imaginary friend character to the story, and we
ended up running along with that idea.

Final Proposal

After completing and getting approval on the proposal, we went
on to the filming process. However, we took quite a while
doing all the recording, and we ended up scrapping a bunch of
the footage.

Editing Process
After completing the shooting, my partner and I decided to
divide the editing into 2 parts. I was given the task of color
correcting and adding the sound effects to the video, while
she did the VFX and editing. However, while editing, we
discovered that a few of our scenes were unusable, so we
decided to refilm a few scenes.

For the sound effects, I mostly used the website called Pixabay since they have a really wide variety of sound effects.

And for the background music, I wanted something more
whimsical to add to the dream sequence. I found this no
copyright music on YouTube:

For the dream part, I debated whether to color correct the
scenes into either a blue-ish or pink-ish hue, but we both
ended up settling on the blue-ish one.

For the rest of the scenes, I made sure to balance the
exposure to decrease the overall brightness and tweaked
several other settings to make sure all the clips are
similar.

III. FEEDBACK
Week 11: Sir reviewed our storyboard and suggested
changing the witch idea to an imaginary friend to add to
the plot.
Week 13: We showed our first draft of the video.
Sir approved of the story flow, and told us to proceed
with the VFX.
Week 14: We presented our final work to the teacher
and got his final approval.
IV. REFLECTION
One of the biggest lessons I learned from working on this
video-making project was just how important it is to plan
thoroughly before filming. At first, we jumped into shooting
with only a rough idea of what we wanted, and that led to a
lot of confusion, retakes, and wasted time. We ran into
problems later during editing since the clips didn't fit
properly. It became really obvious that without a solid
plan. Looking back, I now realize that pre-production is
essential. If I ever do another video project, I’ll
definitely take more time to plan things out carefully
beforehand.
