Editing Blog For my Music Video

 Hey guys, for this video I'll be focusing on my editing process for the music video. This'll be split into two blogs since I wasn't able to finish editing the first time. I'm using a friends computer to edit my videos because of the software they have, so I'll have to borrow it in order for me to finish. This time around it didn't take so long to edit the video. It was more a rough draft to see what else I needed to be re-filmed or some new shots I wanted to add. I went through the normal process of importing the videos onto the computer, then into software, and then dropping them on the timeline. While editing I realized that the car scene I had was blurry and I hadn't noticed that before. Which makes sense because I was filming at one in the morning. The other problem with this scene is that it was when the therapist suggests for the couple to go on a house date. Since it's just a shot of the car dashboard on the phone with the therapist and there's no audible dialogue, I'll have to add captions. When I tried to make them it didn't come out looking good so I decided to leave it to the next time I edit the video. The next shot I realized was blurry and probably not needed was, a pan into the title of the music video. My sister thought it would be a good idea to add this scene but the cinematographer for this scene wasn't able to pull off the shot. I added this into the video anyway to reach the one minute time, but I think I'll either recreate it or replace it with another scene. I believe that the rough draft does a good job to show the story enough where the final touches, the music and the color grading, will highlight it. I'm hoping that the edition of the music will help the video make sense and show what's going on. The color grading will be used to add the aesthetic to the video and make it fit with the conventions of a pop video. I'm not planning on adding any other shots, because of the time restraints I have on the video and if I did it would ruin the whole story. If I do add or change any other scenes, it'll be to change the scene where the camera pans into the title. That's been my editing process so far, I'll see you soon for the rest.

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...
