Production Blog: Editing

  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, to not let the titles be overlooked and forgotten about. I made sure of this by putting the titles in corners that contrasted the dark red of the titles. To make them more apparent I even tried adding a subtle glow to make them more eye catching. I eventually removed the glow as I thought it looked kind of silly and took away from the immersion of the opening sequence. The glow was also extremely hard to blend in with both the brighter and darker scenes of our sequence. I also tried giving the titles a sound effect every time they came out similar to a wind swooshing sound. This however did not work at all and it made the sequence look absolutely terrible. The swooshing sound would conflict with the sound in the sequence and during some scenes it even clouded out the dialogue in between the characters. Due to this I decided to go against adding any sound effects for the title and just focused on placing them in places where they would stand out but not obstruct what was going on during the sequence. But that is it for today, see ya later bloggers

Our Pitch

  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 and somet

The conventions used in my music video were very similar to the conventions I did research on. They were used to really bring out the vibe or genre of the video.  I stayed with the same genre that was said I researched on as it was a  song more into the pop genre with a storytelling side of it. The story behind it was meant to be sad so certain styles, editing, and acting was done to make sure that was shown in the video. Our video was meant to show a common issue that occurs very often around the world. The issue we were trying to present was people losing their loved ones including pets, and how they must deal with it because it can’t be helped. So to do that we made a video of a girl that was growing up with her dog and then the dog became ill and had to be put down. The video  shows that no ma
