I had so much fun making this! It's definitely my best project yet! 

  We were very grateful for all of the reviews. We intended to use all of the crucial information we were given to repair the film to the best of our ability. The first issue we addressed was the size of the title names. They were huge, and we assumed that the actual film could not be viewed behind the words. The second alteration was to the film's title. Nijah accidentally spelled the film's title as "Dark Red" rather than "Red Room". So Nijah had to step in and change it. The voiceovers were the next thing to be modified. Nijah became unwell during the editing process. She continued doing the voiceovers as placeholders until the group received the actual voiceovers.We replaced the voice actor to me because I was not in the film. We figured why not have me as the voice actor as well. The type of font used was also modified during the editing process. The editing platform cap cut was messed up by the original typeface that was planned to be used, "Biote

Reviewer #1 The first reviewer praised the foreshadowing at the start of the sequence, when the kidnapper is visible in the distance behind Jasmine. She also enjoyed the scenario with the empty swing, which led to the kidnapping. However, she admitted that she didn't really get the concept of Jasmine's revenge in the last scene. I believe this is due to our decision not to have Imani hold a knife in that scenario for safety reasons. I don't think we'll solve it, but we'll compensate with voiceover.  Reviewer #2 The second reviewer said they enjoyed the entire movie. They did not suggest any specific improvements. However, they noted that the second part of the sequence appeared to be a little off. They said it was more unprofessional than the first. Reviewer #3 The third critic stated that they loved the actors' facial expressions. They did express a desire to hear additional diegetic sound throughout the sequence to break up the music played. They believed that

                                 We chose Steve Lacy's tune Dark Red for their background music. We're using the instrumental version. Using the instrumental allows the non-diegetic sounds to be heard above the music. It will also keep the major focus on the movie rather than the music. This is because the song is quite popular. The music video for this song may appear cheerful, but the song itself generates an ominous vibe. This is ideal for our video; it allows us to build suspense. Using a popular song in our video is a strategy for attracting a younger audience. I emailed the record label, which distributes this music. I emailed him, but I have not received an answer yet. Me and the rest of the bunch decided to direct message Steve Lacy (the song's creator) on Instagram. Although we doubt he would react, it is better to get permission than to proceed without it. We continued filming and utilizing this song because it is an instrumental version. We're hoping to hear

We will finally begin editing. We will follow the storyboard as it has the exact depiction of what we’d like the viewer to see. We are going to be on the phone with the person who is editing the blog while they edit. This allows us to be there through the process. Us being there helps the process go smoother cause we all can know what's happening and not have to have the person who is editing change things last minute. We waited to edit till we finished all filming. This helps us be able to know what we need to take out or add. We ended up over filming so we will need to cut scenes. I recorded different audio so we have a cleaner sound for the film. I recorded things like crying, swinging, and door slamming. I don't think it will take forever to film but we need to hurry. Our project is going to be due soon so we are trying to keep pace. We have lots more to go but we are making progress in editing. I really do enjoy being a director because I can’t edit that well myself. I app

 The crew decided to utilize iMovie to edit this film. We'll continue to utilize Cap Cut for some things, but we've decided to stick with iMovie. We took this option because we believe it will make the video look cleaner. Our choice for iMovie arises from its ability to improve the video quality. Nijah is the primary editor for this project. Even if majority of the videos are on my phone. The group believes that Nijah's modifications are better for everyone. We agreed to this when she edited our previous project. This decision also provides Nijah more additional work. She is not seen in the actual recordings, therefore she will be able to contribute to the group without being on camera. Nijah's previous editing experience makes her an ideal candidate for this assignment. We trust Nijah's editing abilities. Using iMovie provides different editing features than Cap Cut. Even though Nijah is the primary editor, everyone's cooperation ensures that the editing style
