Editing post 2

-

 Hey!!

    Here I want to talk about the editing. I am going to be honest, this is my favorite and least favorite thing to do. I like to edit on my free time. Am I good at it? No. But I do enjoy the process and enjoy learning different techniques to put into my film. 

    I have this issue that when I do a project, whether it is school or personal, I have high expectations cause I expect my best work every time. Now I am not saying we did not do our best, we did, but there are many aspects that I wish I could change which I know there is no way in doing. And I notice all these flaws when I am editing. 

    I had to take several breaks when working on it as I am the only one doing this and I spend hours Infront of my computer, My poor back! Sometimes I will be working on the project that I forget to take a break or to stand and I get super tired. This editing stuff is no joke lol. Luckily the program Nicole gave me, premiere pro, is easy to use. I have taken a class on it before so I was familiar with a lot of it's features.

Here is a photo of the progress and of me editing:




    I just wish Anais or Mal knew how to edit so we could have taken turns but it is what it is.

That is about it! See y'all on the next post!

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...
