‘The Journal’
My group decided that we wanted to make a split screen film, that followed the journey of a journal being passed around to people various ways and going back to the person who first started passing it around. Each member of the group writes in the journal twice consisting of the journal being passed eight times in the film. The original girl who finds the journal remains on the screen for the majority of the time, as the film starts and ends with her.

Brigitte and Myself iphone6-iphone6plus-4made up the the rough storyboard with edits to it happening over the course of filming. The film was shot on a Iphone 6 plus, and while filming, we made sure as a group to film everything two times both landscape and portrait to get the best look when editing. The editing program used for this film was Imovie. The shots consisting of the original girl who finds the journal has a grainy warm texture over it, while the other shots of the journal being passed around imovie__2013_just have a warm tone. This was important to distinguish to the viewers where the journal came from and to make sense of the film. The warm vintage feel of the edited footage also pair up with the music, chosen by Caitlin which gave it a enjoyable tone to watch and listen.
