Production blog: Editing for My My Music

 Hey bloggers as you may know I've been working on my music video with my groupmates. As a group we decided to separate and each do our own style of editing. We did this so we could have many drafts and we would choose one for the final result. So I began by watching what we recorded. I did this many times so I could pick stuff out and see what needed help. After that I began to check out different editing apps and soft wares that I could use for editing the film. I was mainly focused on Cap Cut as I was more familiar with it and it was free and easy. However I got some suggestions from my groupmates and other sources. Getting clips from Constanza was a very difficult process unfortunately. Everything was glitching, clips wouldn't go through and we tried with many methods. After what seemed like forever, it finally worked but there was one issue. I ran into a storage problem on my phone and deleting photos and videos wasn't working. So I decided to send it to my laptop and work from there as it had more storage. This was amazing, my laptop wasn't glitching and the quality was much better and editing wasn't that hard. I started to make transitions in between the scenes and see if they could match the song. I also tried messing with the quality of the video like messing with the brightness and the other features given. I added different effects and did things like putting slow motion into some scenes. So this actually worked out as some of the scenes needed to be slowed down so that the song would fit in better. Although not much was done I still felt a little satisfied with my worked as I did my best. But yea 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 ...
