Editing Blog

First thing I did while editing was shorten a lot of my scenes down in between the 4-6 second range. After I shortened my scenes to fit in between this range, I started to apply filters to my videos. When applying the filters I applied black and white filters, and other filters that brightened the videos or just make the video look better. For example, for the first scene I made it black and white, then for the scenes that I filmed with the blue light I added a vivid warm filter to make our skin stand out more and so that we would look less blue. Once I finished applying filters to my videos, I inserted all my clips into iMovie. Before doing this, I noticed that my fifth and seventh scene were slightly crooked so I had to straighten it. From there I went to YouTube and screen recorded the audio that I wanted to use for my song. After screen recording the video sound I snipped a little of the beginning and the end off, so that it would fit perfectly into the video. Then I went into iMovie to insert the screen recording but the audio only. But I later realized when I increased the volume that the original sounds in the video were overlapping with the music from the screen recording. So I removed the other sounds in the videos and only left the screen recording audio. I tried cutting the 6th and 7th scene as smoothly as possible so that the transition would be as clean as possible. When I inserted all my videos into iMovie, the top part of my videos were not visible so I had to find a way to zoom my video out so that a majority of the scene would be visible. I also added like green/blue screens to some of the scenes that I felt needed to be a little more interesting. There were not many cool transitions for me to use but I made the best of of what I had. Also I decided to apply some of the filters I found on iMovie for my video because they look better than the ones I was using before directly from my photos. When I was done I realized I had too many 6 second videos so I had to shorten a few of my videos a little to fit the correct time frame. Another thing I prioritized to fix was the length of scenes 1-4 because I needed the lyrics of the song to line up with the words I was saying in the video. Scene 1 was my longest scene and one of my biggest problems because it definitely needed to be shortened so that my other scenes would get time to shine. But it all worked out, and once my video was the correct length I decided to add a few more filters.

Title Research: Insidious

The titles displayed during the opening sequence include the name of the studio and production company. Next the film displays the actor names, film title, casting by, music by, costume designer, edited by, production designer, and director of photography title. The next titles shown are the produced by, executive producers, written by, and directed by titles. The image of the boy sleeping in bed is prioritized. The image of a demon's face is also prioritized. Images of their living room with moving boxes is also prioritized. Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

Production Blog-Music and Problems

I was supposed to record scenes 5 and 6 this weekend but due to the weather I was unable to.  It was raining all day on Saturday, so I did not record the scene that day because the roads were slippery and I was prioritizing my safety. Then on Sunday, my parents weren't available to film from the passenger seat that day. And my permit requires me to be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old in the passenger seat while driving. So I hope that I'll be able to film scenes 5 and 6 some time this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday I'm not quite sure yet. I'm just trying to get these two specific scenes filmed as soon as I possibly can be I do believe that they'll be the most difficult to film. I was also trying to film scene 7 on Friday but I couldn't because I needed to move the couch to in front of the tv. But I couldn't because the living room space was pretty crowded with just large boxes so I decided to hold off on filming that scene until this sp...

Genre Research: Drama

-
This is a powerpoint that covers the conventions we see in drama. In this powerpoint I stated a common lighting in drama, natural film lighting, and I also included an example. I listed a common camera angle in drama with a picture example. I also listed a common movement often seen in drama along with an example. Then I listed the common Mise-En-Scene in drama with examples. I then listed the elements of drama. I included 3 example films of drama. I also included the common sound in drama and an example video. I got my example video from YouTube. Inserting this video into my project was not very easy at first. But eventually I figured out how to insert videos from the internet into a PowerPoint. I listed what elements of drama that I liked. I also listed what elements of drama I did not appeal to me. I used transitions between my slides. I also had a dramatic song playing throughout the project. All of the pictures I used as examples in my project I got from google. This project helpe...
