Production Blog

 Hey everybody, today I got started on the project I mentioned on the previous blog. If you didn't see it I recommend you look but I was basically just telling you the actions I would take to complete my commercial about me. So I had to download an editing software called Cap Cut for this project. This app would make it  a lot easier for me to make my commercial using my pictures, videos, and songs. To be able to access my videos and stuff I gave the app access to my camera roll. I spent some time looking at the templates provided on there to see if I could maybe use one. The other time I had left I looked at the other features provided so I can experiment with them and get a feel. I began to try out the transitions but a lot of them seemed annoying so I decided to keep it simple. I double checked the photos I would be using for the project. I also went over the songs they were appropriate for the circumstances. I then checked the videos to make sure they included what I wanted to show which took me quite some time. There were also other A.I text to speech features that I decided to check out because maybe I'd like to use them as a voiceover. I also checked out other software but Cap Cut was easily the simplest one to use and the most efficient for me. I also had to edit some pictures and videos to enhance their quality and make it as smooth as possible. I would then pick multiple videos so then I could pick out 2-3 from the batch based on what I thought would be best. I also had to make sure I found some good media about soccer since it is one of my favorite things in the world. I also had to spend more time seeing what transition would fit best for some of the videos and pictures. Lastly I spent time working on the app  overall. And yeah that is it for today, see ya later bloggers.

Production Blog: Editing

Image
   Hey bloggers and welcome back to the continuation of my opening sequence. Today I will be tinkering throughout my sequence attempting to make it as improved as possible. Very similarly to what I did with my last blog. Considering how much I tweaked during the film review and the critique I used. It was relatively hard for me to see what was still wrong with the opening sequence. This meant I had to thoroughly watch and rewatch our current sequence in order to find thing I could improve upon. This took me quite a bit of minutes before finding pieces of the opening sequence that were not up to standard. The first thing I changed was the positioning of the titles as I wasn't very fond of where they previously were. At times the titles blocked out some important backgrounds or scenes due to their position and size. After noticing this I shifted almost all of the titles so that they would occupy different corners in places without importance to the sequence. I made sure however,...

Reserach: Action Genre

Image
   I'm researching genres to see if it's possible to spin our pitch in a creative way. The genre I am researching at the moment is the action genre. The action movies I researched tend to have these angles and movements of the camera: High and Low angle Birds Eye Views Tracking Shots Side Views Establishing Shots Common Mis-En-Scene used in action films: Occasional comedy Large and intricate movie sets (they get destroyed) Abundance of creative prop usage to create fake glass and prop weapons Intense usage of costumes to differentiate background characters from main characters Use of lighting to create tense feelings in audience (flashing lights, dim lights) Common Editing used in action films: Jump Cuts Cuts Fade Aways Cross Cuts Dissolve Inserts Common Sounds used in action films: Dialogue Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats Sound Bridges Ambient Sounds to immerse audience Films I watched in this genre: Bullet Train The Gray Man Ghosted The John Wick Series...

Our Pitch

Image
  These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence  Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique ...
