Production Organizing footage

This is the blog post that shows on what tech or applications used with screenshots, how it helps and what systems did we use to do this (made by Bamz, edited in detail by me)

To communicate with the group members :
WhatsApp

To download & store footage :

Google Drive

To edit the footage & organizing the footage within the application :

After Effects 2025

How Does it Help?

Google drive

• It helped with sharing the files to others so, instead of one person that only has the access to the footage, everyone in our group has the access to the shared file this minimizes more work with exporting.
• This app also keeps the quality of the original footage from the camera in check without any quality compressions from other apps.
• This app also organizes our documents into a file to make it easier to find for our editor and keep many other files in one link that has already been shared to our group chat

Whatsapp

• Through communication apps such as WhatsApp as the app reduces the resolution and quality of the video which ruins the whole immersive aspect of the film opening. 
• However, whatsapp allows for easy communication between our 4 group members even if they are not physically in a room with me. We can still discuss, plan out new shooting dates, etc. 
• We also used WhatsApp to show the part where the editor is finished with the video so we can see segments of the video so we can make less mistakes instead of showing the full clip and finding it all in one that way

Adobe After Effects 

• In addition to that, our editors used After Effects the latest version which has more features such as the CGI as we have an idea of using CGI although. With the help of CGI our editor can make the audience feel immersive and more realistic and since it is the latest version of the editing software. 

•  This app also allows our editor to manipulate the lighting realistically to fit the movie genre. Because we filmed our video in the day which doesn't fit with the overall mood of our horror movie. 

• This app also allows the editor to download cool transitions from google that have hundreds of them which makes the movie more interesting for the audience. This also makes it easier and convenient for him to download and use many transition since adobe after effects offers many things. 

Self reflection:

I think the existence of these apps are useful since it really help us manage our workload, communicate and edit efficiently. I think we as a group have better teamwork and synergy when using apps like whatsapp. Adobe after effects seems like an intimidating app but our editor is use to it so his editing looks good so far.
