Discussing needed changes

  Today, based on our film review, my partners and I wanted to change the editing. So, right after school, we got on a Discord call and started saying and explaining what each of the people that we reviewed had said.

    My parents commented that the scenes could have appeared more professional and less like we were tinkering around with the camera. We couldn't fix it because we were only editing today, so we put it off until later. My parents also suggested that we brighten the film because details like the costume and landscape were difficult to see. So Jorge quickly fixed the issue by brightening it so that everything could be seen clearly.

    When Alex's sister watched it, she commented that the camera work could have been smoother and that there was some shakiness. We're well aware that this will be a problem. As a result, we'd like to re-shoot those few scenes as soon as possible. Then Jorge told us what his sister and mother had to say about the movie. His sister thought the effects were odd and that they should be tweaked to look more natural. Fixing effects would take a long time, so we put it off until later. 

    Then after that, he told us about his mother telling him that we needed more emotion in certain scenes where it was especially needed. Alex and I agreed because one of the more dramatic scenes was a little more monotone than usual for that genre. Alex and I agreed that the next time we film, we would concentrate on that. Jorge stated that he considered watching some depressing movies in order to learn how to act in these dramatic scenes.

    After we had all discussed the changes that needed to be made, we had to set a date for them to be implemented. Our group has chosen Sunday as the day to make these film changes. We chose Sunday because it is the most convenient day for us to make these changes to our film because we are all available on that day. Overall, today was a good day because we got everything done that we needed to and we know when we'll be doing our next 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...

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...
