Editing: Finishing the process

     Today was our groups final day of editing the music video. After doing research from our last editing session. I felt ready today to help out with finishing up the editing. 

    We started off by going on a call on discord and discussed what needed to be done today. We noticed that the clips were a little too long for the music video. We had to cut the clips that were too long. Jorge researched different clipping methods so he just gave Alex and I as much information as he could.

    First we had to edit the biking scene. I suggested changing the color tone to make the scene look brighter and more joyful. Jorge suggested using one of the editing techniques which is called a parallel editing cut which I thought was perfect for the shot. This makes the scene look like a continuous shot from different angles. 

    After we went onto editing the transitions for each of the scenes. Alex took part in most of the transitions since he was researching this subject more. When Alex was editing, he told Jorge and I about different transitions that he found about on DaVinci Resolve 17. We then thought about which transitions would fit best for each scene. 

    Finally, we moved onto editing the audio. All we had to do here was wait for Alex to download the audio while he was screen sharing. We then watched how the audio fit over our actual footage. We made some small changes to how long each clip was to make the audio fit over our footage better. We ended our editing session thinking we had finished. Then we realized that the lighting looked weird and we had to make small changes. And that was the end of the editing session.

    Overall, I had a great time editing with my group members. I wish to do another one of these projects with my group members again. Even though there were a few difficulties, we pulled through and finished our music video and we like the way it ended up.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Short Film Research: Proximity

  "Proximity" is a short film directed by Ryan Connolly and produced by Triune Films. The film falls into the action genre. Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen. In "Proximity," the sound design is used to great effect, with the use of suspenseful music and sound effects adding to the tension of the film's action sequences. Common Mis-En-Scene in the action genre: Lighting, Action, Makeup, Performance, and Setting. These elements can all contribute to the overall look and feel of a film and can be used to help define a genre. In the action genre, these elements are often used to create a sense of excitement and intensity. In "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
