Searching for an editing software and testing them out

    Today, I decided to look into some editing software that my team and I could use. I reasoned that getting familiar with the editing software would be extremely beneficial when the time came to actually edit. I browsed the internet to see what kind of editing software's would be good for us when it comes time to edit. 

    Jorge had asked for some recommendations for editing software, so I went out and looked for some so I could tell him which ones would be good. After doing some research on editing software, there were many options that we could use. Because it is so simple to access and use, iMovie was one of the potential options. iMovie is one of, if not the most simple editing software available, for those who want to learn how to edit.

    However, I decided to stick with an editing software that I had previously used. DaVinci Resolve 17 is the name of this software. In my opinion, this program is user-friendly for people at the beginner to intermediate level. I felt the need to tell Jorge that DaVinci Resolve 17 might be an option for our group's editing. He decided to download the program because he thought it would be a good idea. We had to wait a while for DaVinci Resolve 17 to download on his computer.

    Jorge and I wanted to learn how to use the software after the download was completed, so we tried figuring out on our own. We fiddled around with the timeline, cutting, sound, and visual effects. Jorge let me know how he felt about the software once he had a good understanding of how to use it. Jorge said it was an excellent program that was easier to understand than he expected after using it.

    After testing out DaVinci Resolve 17, Jorge wanted to test out iMovie to see which editing software he liked better. I tested out DaVinci Reslove while he was working on that. Jorge then tested out editing on DaVinci reslove as well. After testing both, Jorge determined that DaVinci Resolve 17 is the best fit for the editing needs of this project. I agreed with him, and we came to the conclusion that DaVinci Resolve 17 would be the best editing software for our final task.

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...

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...
