Editing: The beginning

    Today was the day that I began editing my short film, and I was excited to get started. I had already organized all the scenes into folders based on the location and date of the shoot, so I was prepared for the task at hand. As I sat down at my computer and imported all the scenes into the timeline, I placed them in the order that they were shot.

    The first thing I did was watch the footage to take note of which takes were the best and which needed to be trimmed down. It was a slow process, but as I worked through the footage, I began to see the story come to life on my computer screen. However, as I continued to work through the footage, I realized that some of the shots could have been better or had better lighting.

    This realization led me to use editing tools to stabilize the shots and adjust the brightness and contrast to improve the film's overall look. As I worked, I took breaks in between to rest my eyes and clear my mind, which helped me to come back with fresh eyes and renewed energy to continue.

    After a couple of hours of editing, I was happy with my progress so far, but I knew I still had much work ahead of me. There were moments when I felt like giving up, but the thought of seeing the final product pushed me to keep going. I reminded myself that every second I spent on the film would ultimately be worth it.

    Despite the long hours and tedious work, I found editing the film to be a rewarding experience. Seeing the story come together and watching the footage transform was worth all the effort I was putting in. As I edited, I noticed small details in the footage that I hadn't seen before, and this made me appreciate the hard work that went into creating the film even more.

    Throughout the editing process, I also learned a lot about video editing. I experimented with different techniques and found new ways to improve the look of the film. It was challenging, but it was also very satisfying to see my skills improving as I worked on the project.

    As I continued editing, I was happy with the progress I had made, and I felt proud of the work I had    accomplished. Even though there was still a long way to go, I knew that every step I took was bringing me closer to the finished product. And ultimately, the satisfaction of completing the film and sharing it with others would make it all worth it.

    In conclusion, editing a film is a lot of work, but it is also a rewarding experience. It requires patience, perseverance, and creativity. And while there may be moments of frustration and doubt, the end result is always worth it. As I sat at my computer editing my film, I was reminded of the power of storytelling and the importance of sharing our stories with others.

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