Progress Work

Week 7 - Forming Pair
A brief mention of our final project was brought in class. We're told to pair up for our final project. I partnered up with Aquela Zefanya Soares (0374377).

Week 9 - VFX Tutorial & Ideation
In class, we learnt to edit a VFX video from direct tutorial from Sir Martin using Adobe After Effects.

Week 10 - Practice shot & Vfx edit practice

Week 11 - Storyboard and Ideation Consultation

we did a consultation about our finalized storyboard before submission and were given feedback and have to adjust a couple of things

Week 12 - Actual Footage shoot

on this week we decided to do the shoot on Saturday because we figured that there would be less human traffic on the background when we were shooting so we finish the whole shoot in that one day

Week 13- Week 14 : Editing and Refining

positioning each footage

when I started editing it, me and Aquela agreed to do some parts separately and then later putting it together in my premiere pro file. so there are some footage that are cut whilst waiting for Aquela's part of editing. where she did the Video effects.

sound effect and dubbing voice edits

then I edit some sounds to fit the environment and vibes, where one of them is the echo in the time freeze part of the video and Aquela's inner though voice.

more dubbing voice edits

I continued with more sound edits of other sound like the part where I chase ella down the hallway, the inaudible argument, and others that need some tweaking, where I mostly just put reverb and scientific filter to make it sound like we're actually in the hallway.

color grading

after Aquela finished with her part of the video I gathered them together and started color grading them one by one because the story that we're trying to convey here gives of sad vibes, I make the exposure lower and gave it a bluish tint to match the vibes. I ended the editing with adding some text and

Feedback

Week 11

the story is a little bit Ambigous, make it make sense. and the message should reach the audience and everything that's used there should have a purpose. like why is the. tarrot card there, and how do the audience can tell what's the relationship between two character. and decide who's the main character

Reflection

When doing this final project, I honestly felt a mix of excitement and stress. At first, it was fun to team up with Aquela and start planning, but as the project moved forward, I realized how much work actually goes into producing even a short video. There were a lot of steps—from VFX practice to storyboarding, shooting, editing, sound design, and color grading. I think the biggest challenge was figuring out how to tell the story clearly. During consultation, we were told the story felt ambiguous, and that feedback really made us rethink how we were presenting the plot and character relationships. We had to go back and make sure everything made sense and had a purpose, especially the tarot card part and who the main character really was.

During the shoot, we were lucky to finish everything in one day. Editing took most of our time after that. I spent a lot of effort refining sound effects, dubbing, and color grading. There were some frustrating moments, but I did learn a lot—especially how every detail, like audio timing and visual clarity, makes a big difference in the final product. Overall, I’m happy with what we created and proud of how we handled it together.
