Editing Blog

 Editing Blog

When I finished filming, I started editing. First, I made sure all the clips we took were in the order they were made to be in. I cut out the clips I wasn't planning on using and put the ones I wanted to use in the order they were meant to be. Then I trimmed all of the clips to make them the length I wanted them to be. The first draft of the ad was made on my phone. When I got home so I could actually edit the ad, I imported the video from my phone to my computer. This is where the actual editing process began. I went through every clip to edit them individually. Each clip was watched multiple times to see if there was anything misplaced or shaky. Once that was done, I fixed up whatever was wrong or could be better. I wanted each clip to be good and edited well. When I finished editing each clip, I put them all together and added background music. The music I added was upbeat to make the ad more exciting and fun. Since the ad is on paddleboards, I wanted the music to be fun instead of something monotone to show in the ad that paddleboards are meant to be used to have fun. I added a filter to the video to make the video more vibrant. I also made sure in every clip that the paddleboard is the main subject shown. I didn't want the ad to look too choppy so I added transitions between clips. This also made the ad look more fun. Adding the transitions made the ad more fast-paced looking. Once I was done with all of that, the ad was completed.

Research before Recording

Image
 Hello guys, welcome back to another blog regarding our progress.  As of now, my group still hasn't been able to record but in the meantime, I've decided to research some camera angles and music. I wanted to know what the best camera angles would be for the movie so I looked it up. For the scene where they are fighting, I wanted to know how to portray that in the best way possible. I found that fight scenes are really planned out. The choreography needs to be set up so it looks like an actual fight and not just a scripted scene where people pretend to hit each other. Since the actors are going to use fake weapons, we need to make sure the hits look real. What I found is that the camera angles are the most important parts of the video. High and low angles are super important to show who has the power in the battle. they add depth and dynamic in the fight scenes. Since in at the end of the scene the girl wins, low angles on her will signify her dominance of the situation. When t...

Unleaded (Thriller): Short Film

Image
  The short film Unleaded begins with a black screen, typical from a thriller short. The audience is only given the sound of what is revealed to be a person filling up gas at a station. A woman is shown to be sitting in her car as she looks inside the gas station. She then is shown to be watching two people robbing the gas station inside, one pointing a gun at the cashier and the other holding him down. Another car pulls into the gas station and the women watches the car very closely. What is going on in the car is then revealed. There are two men in the front and a third in the back. The two look to the back and at the third guy as he objects to going inside the gas station. It is not known if they are aware of what is going on inside, but the man who was objecting in car ends up going in, putting on a gray hoodie, and walks right past the robbers. The robbers notice and one sneaks up from behind the guy in the grey hoodie and points a gun from the back of his head telling him to ...

Matching Up Our Schedules !!

Image
                           Hello everyone, welcome to the first production blog for my group's project!! I'm so excited to start this project and be able to create an amazing movie with my friends. After the storyboard and finalizing our story, I  am finally able to schedule meeting together with my group to film. Although this may cause some issues. I, for one, have work at Red Lobster where I get my schedule every Sunday night so it is difficult to know when I won't be working. I also know Brianna has work so our schedules might clash. My plan is to find a Saturday when I can take off work to do the project. Since the plan is to go to Red Lobster to film, I will ensure a day with my boss so we can record in a secluded area in the back. There is a back corner at my work will be the perfect spot to record and get the best angles. This part I am excited about since I get to show my friends what I do outs...
