ZVCN productions

Hi, again blog!

I was FINALLY able to figure out how to put images on my blog posts again. Usually what I do is just upload or drag the file onto here, but every time I've tried to post whilst in Brazil that doesn't work. So, I resorted to writing the blog posts on my phone and then copying and pasting the image onto here, but, when I write the posts on my phone, they come out in a weird format, so I thought: If I can copy and paste the image on my phone, I could probably do that from my computer, too! This whole process took about 30 minutes to figure out, and a lot of frustration. But we are ready to go now!

Today, my group met up to get started on editing the footage and selecting which clips we should use and which ones we shouldn't. Even though I couldn't meet up with them because I'm not in town, they still made sure to include me in everything and let me know how things were going. Here's a photo they took and then photoshopped me in it.

While they worked on editing, I worked on creating our production company for the film. Vanessa suggested the name ZVCN, which is just our initials put together, but it sounds legit. I feel like it could be a real name for a production company. So, once that was settled I got started on creating the logo. To be honest I didn't really know where to start at first, so I searched production company logos to get some inspiration. I made ours based off of these examples:

I noticed most of them had some sort of camera element, such as camera film, video recorder, etc., and then, using Canva (which I am obsessed with and will be obsessed with til the day I die), I created this:

And then I sent it in our group chat and every one of my group members loved it, which is good because I spent a good 45 minutes on this and I really didn't want to have to do it again. Since I won't be in town all break, we all agreed that I should look for all the sounds/music we will use for the opening, so I've been navigating Soundstripe nonstop. I think we are pretty set on using the sound I told you guys about for the title screen (see last blog post), but I have yet to find the other sounds we will use.

This is pretty much all I got for you guys this week. Catch you next week!!
