Editing Blog



 Hey guys, so this'll be the last blog before the big reveal of the project. Alright so basically, this part of the project was rather easy, at least for me. I was using Adobe Premier Pro which is a software I'm familiar with so it went pretty smooth. At first I wanted to change the whole story of the film by making it flip back and forth but then realized it might be annoying. Plus, the shots I had filmed weren't going to work with that. I did learn something from the last project I did and made sure that all my shots were organized, which like before made everything easier and faster. After putting all the shots into the timeline I looked through it all to make sure the story played out correctly. A little but of cutting, moving, and patience with the slow computer the story was showed. Next was reviewing the film, I realized that there will be a sudden switch from two shots to one and I ended up keeping it. You'll understand when you watch it. I didn't really run into many problems with editing but, I did keep some things I wanted out such as the voice over. After finding my music and realizing how well it went with the film I thought that adding a voice over might take away the effect that comes from silence. I decided to watch a Nike commercial I studied at first but with no volume. I realized the same thing, the effect I got from the silence than with the voice over attracted me more to the screen and it made me pay more attention to what's really going on. After adding everything and watching it at least 7 times to make sure I didn't miss anything, I added a shade of a dark blue to fix the lighting. This had to purposes: to make sure it wasn't obvious that the shots were filmed at different times, and to make it a little easier on the eyes as well as attract the eyes. I rendered and exported and that was it for editing. The next blog will be the final product I really hope you enjoy it. See you then.

-Sincerely, Angel

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

 Hey guys so for this blog I'll be telling you about, Art of the Title, a website that focuses on showing opening title sequences for shows and movies. The website introduced me to a lot of movies I didn't know were out there, a lot of them were documentaries. While reading on them and watching their opening sequence I realized that a lot of them represented the theme of the documentary in one way or the other. Some documentaries did not, but instead tried to use the opening sequence as a way to guide the audience and set the tone for what they might see throughout the documentary. For the movies the opening sequence always fit the genre of the film, but also worked a lot with the sound. For many of the films they all had a sort of non-diegetic sound attached to it in order to create a kind of effect that matched the genre. For example thriller genres usually had an ominous ringing with them along with dark titles and very clear writing. Action movies on the other hand had were...

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...
