Editing Blog #2: Making it fun

 Today December 7th, I finally finished all of my editing for my music video project. Today I put together my second half along with the first half. After I seen it all together I liked it but I wasn't quite satisfied with it. I only had transitions but after I watched it a few times I felt it was boring and I was not happy with it at all. So, I decided to challenge myself a little more and add some fun effects I put together using a green screen app but I created the effects myself. As mentioned before in my first editing blog I used my iPhone and iPad to complete all my editing. I added many cool effects like glitches, colors and many many more ! After I completed that I thought the transitions were kind of lame so I went back and made them more fun also using a green screen app. After I completed all of the transitions and effects I was satisfied but at this point I was just going in making small and minor changes. When I was finally done I went into iMovie and added the beginning of the video edited the sound one last time and I was done ! Although this  whole process was very challenging and quite stressful I can say that I am pleased with the outcome and can't wait for it to be seen!

Planning Storyboard for my NIKE Commercial

Image
 First scene: During this scene we will be filming the Nike backpack for the commercial. The shot will be close up and will follow the subject as the actress is walking. This will be shot on the track as the actresses are walking in the gates talking to one another. Second scene: In this part of the commercial I wanted to really get a view of the Nike athletic shorts and tights. So, I will film the actresses doing leg warmups on the turf and get a close up shot as they are moving.  Third scene: This scene will be similar to the second one but instead we will be including the shirts and the headbands in the shot. The actresses will be doing upper body stretches so that way it will be easier to get a close up. Fourth scene: In this scene I will have the actresses running on the track to bring in the intense feeling that you will get from a Nike commercial showing off all the Nike gear that they have on. Fifth scene: In this scene the actresses will be on the turf laying down as ...

Comparing La Jetee, the short, and 12 monkeys, full length movie

Image
  Hey guys, for this blog I'll be comparing these two films, one which was a short and then another which was created as a "homage" to the first. Both these films are focused on a sci-fi post-apocalyptic world. The major differences between these is one is that 12 monkeys is a motion picture, and La Jetee is a series of photographs. The film helps to explain the plot which I had originally had trouble understanding, but it brings up the idea of that twist toward the end. In the movie both scenes in the beginning show a death and in both it is a character that we had been introduced to later in time. When bringing this to my short film, I can see the importance of a single scene and its impact on the story. The most important thing as well is the effect of the plot twist that can change the entire films idea and plot. After watching the video entirely it helped me realize the effect that the setting has on the film and I realized that I need to focus on creating that setti...

Editing blog-Adding music to our film

Image
 Hey guys, today we added music to our film. As I stated in the last blog we were not trying to rush the editing process. As we learnt last year the music has to be non copyrighted. Well to find our music that we used we just went on youtube. We each went our separate ways to find a sound and then came together with a conclusion. For the actual editing we just used angels laptop. Finding a suspenseful sound is not hard. Finding the right suspenseful sound can be tho. We didn’t want the same suspenseful sounds that you usually here in almost every thriller. We wanted something different. Something we could call out own. We sat down and went through youtube until we found the right sounds. We used two different sounds and made it into one to add suspense. One sound has more bass than the other really creating that feeling. Our whole purpose of doing this was to mimic what you usually  see in movies but with a twist.  There is not sound all throughout our film. The sound is ...
