Editing Post 1

-

 Welcome back!


Today, I want to talk about the current editing process. So far we have already filmed one scene, but we are beginning our editing so it will not overwhelm us later. This scene is of Anais' character coming home from school and going to do her homework. The camera we are using gives a vintage vibe to our film but I am adding filters over each scene to add to the vastly different moods and personalities each character has. 

During this part, there is not much special or unique transitions, we are mostly using cut transitions as it is simple and less tasking on our part. For sound, we really did not like the idea of using copyright music. Not that it is bad... but it is bad. Thankfully, Anais is talented at guitar so she suggested that she can come up with unique melodies to use instead of using copyright music. Another problem we faced was the editing programs. Nicole suggested to use her account to access Premier Pro, but of course, with our luck, the software did not want to open. So we decided to stick with CapCut and if worse comes to worse we can use imovie. Both not terrible programs, just laggy and limiting.


Here is some pictures of us trying to edit like professionals:

Lighting!

 Let's talk lighting! So, to put this out there, we do not have these fancy equipment big budget movies have to create these amazing, eye watering scenes. But we have practical and natural lighting! Natural lighting: Me personally, natural lighting is the most beautiful kind of lighting. We had shot some scenes on bright, sunny days so it captured a beautiful aesthetic to our film. Even inside, we had used natural lighting in one of our scenes where my character was in the kitchen/dinning room. This is one of our biggest and most important light sources!      Here are some photos of us using natural lighting: Practical lighting: You don't have a huge lamp that can shine the brightest light for your scene?! ...then use practical lighting. From computers, to desk lamps, even ceiling lights; all are used to help set up mood and aesthetics for each scene.      Here are some photos of us using practical lighting:

Title Sequences!

 Hey! Welcome back.  The use of title sequences are nothing new. Having different clips edited together at the beginning of the movie is the best way to subtly introduce the audience to what they are about to experience. To be honest, I personally skip any intro sequences that don't raise my arm hairs, or sends a shiver down my spine. I enjoy title sequences that makes me excited to watch the film/show. Here are my 5 favorite title sequences and how they contribute to the over all show/film. Scott Pilgrim vs The World I could go on and on about how wonderful this movie is and how much detail was put in. At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Knives Chau, who has just got into a relationship with our protagonist Scott Pilgrim. She comes over to the house to introduce herself to Scott's bandmates. The title sequence begins with her watching the band perform one of their songs. The weird, stretched out living room accompanied with animation that is timed with the beat...

Five Video Shot!

    Hello there! In the past few classes, we talked about different types of camera angles and shots. We discussed how they are used in film and how they help advance any feelings the director might want to include. For example, an extreme close-up shot is commonly used to help explain what a character's feeling. After being taught these techniques, we were asked to create some example shots of our own. With the help of some friends, I was able to experiment with different camera shots. Establishing Shot: This was the first shot I recorded. Similarly to many movies, I wanted to take an establishing shot to show the area I will be recording all my videos, my school's garden. Just from this shot alone, the viewers are able to tell that it is taken place during the daytime, with sunny weather.  Close Up: While looking around to shoot for a close-up shot, I found this pretty butterfly. With a close-up shot, I was able to figure out that it was a wooden butterfly due to its te...
