Compiling and Reviewing Flm

 Today is an exciting day for me because I am going to work on the editing process of my short film. I have been eagerly waiting for this day, but I am also a little nervous as this is my first time editing a short film. I have compiled and organized all the scenes that I had downloaded onto my computer.

    However, downloading the files onto my computer was a bit of a challenge as I encountered many technical difficulties along the way. It took me a couple of hours to figure out a way to make it work, but I still don't know what I did. I am just glad that it worked eventually.

    Once all the scenes were downloaded and organized, I spent an hour carefully organizing the footage into folders based on the location. I wanted to make sure that finding the scenes I needed later on would be easier. I labeled each folder with a clear and concise name to make navigating through them more manageable.

    After organizing the footage, I opened my video editing software, Davinci Resolve, and started compiling the footage. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I took my time and made sure to double-check everything. I spent a few hours on the editing process, and then I decided to take a break and step away from my computer screen. I knew that taking a break would help me come back with fresh eyes and a new perspective on the footage.

    When I came back, I realized that some of the scenes needed to be trimmed or cut altogether. I used the editing tools in the software to trim the scenes down to the best takes and remove any unnecessary footage. For example, there were some scenes that would start with a crew member laughing or someone in the frame who should not have been there.

    Compiling and organizing the scenes from the film in the video editor was a long and sometimes tedious process, but it was worth it in the end. Seeing the footage come together and come to life was a rewarding experience. I am looking forward to finishing the rest of the editing process and seeing the final product come to fruition.

    Overall, the editing process was challenging, but I am glad that I took the time to carefully go through each scene. I learned a lot during this process, and I know that it will help me with future projects. The editing software was user-friendly, and it made the process a lot easier than I thought it would be.

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.

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 "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
