Final Project: KARMA

Hi blog!! In this blog I'm going to be talking about the process of making our movie Karma! This was  for sure the hardest project for me. I had filmed and acted in the last projects but it was nothing compared to this one. So many elements went into this movie. When we were first told about the movie we all wanted to do a horror or comedy genre. We decided in the end to mix both genres!! We wanted to do something different, people usually don't mix the two. We decided the plot of the movie then it was time to get to work. The first thing we had to do was planning and the storyboard. The storyboard was reallt diffiult for me to complete. It was 10 pages! In the end it was worth it though because it really helped though-out filming the movie. Next was filming but before we did that we needed to decide who to cast for our movie. We had two parts we needed filled. We ended up chosing my mother to play the mom and paige, our friend also in media studies, to play the main characters friend. After everything was sorted out it was on to filming. We first filmed at my house. We got the shots we needed then drove to our next location, the mall. The mall wasn't crowded that day so we got lucky! We filmed the shots we needed then drove back home. These were the final scenes that we needed for our movie. We filmed several retakes and then everyone went back home. Editing was the hardest part of this project because this movie needed so much of it! We needed the titles, the audio clips, the correct footage, and much more. We edited on iMovie and the end product was exactly how we envisioned. We were so happy with the results! We turned it in and completed the CCR and we were done. What I learned throughout this project was be patient. A lot of our shots took many redos and were very time consuming. But the end result will always be better if u put tons of effort into it!
