More Editing

   


After editing the first half of the music video, I realized I needed to edit way more of it. This included both cutting videos and making sure it fit the time. I also had to cut the videos just right so they still looked good. I didn’t include more of the scenes in the film because it dragged out the time. I still used my phone to edit all of it. It was also all edited on iMovie. I ran the entire film again to see any errors. Once I did that, I saw that the duration went a little over 2 minutes. So, I had to go back and check and see which scenes to cut down even more. I cut down the opening scene more by a couple seconds. There was unnecessary moments in each video. Then I cut down the scene where we were entering the skating rink. This made the duration of the music video way shorter. Then when I was putting on ice skates, I edited it in a way that it cut to each person tying on their laces. Then the scene were I was skating was cut short so that I wasn’t skating too much from scene to scene. Then more editing came into

play. The scene where I was skipping to the Christmas tree was sped up. I was skipping too slow. Speeding up the scene also shortened the time. The next few scenes that followed were also cut down. I continued to make sure to show my

group members equally so that everyone was included. By doing all this, I achieved a

time of 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Choosing our Pitch

Image
Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her. Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way. Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. However, we are not sure how much we can do with the concept, so...

Movie Conventions Research: Bird Box

Image
  Various camera angles, sounds, editing forms, and mis-en-scene were used in this film. For starters, numerous scenes were shot at a medium close-up viewpoint with dark lighting as the mis-en-scene. Dim lighting in the forest setting and  Ambient lighting are two examples of different types of illumination. To achieve a chilling effect, many props were added, including a blindfold and a rowboat down a strong river. The majority of the film was shot with diegetic sound, however there were several instances where there was no sound to create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere within the movie.  Different types of lighting, such as under lighting, were heavily used to generate an ominous impact on viewers. The actors in this film are dressed in costumes that are meant to look worn out and dirty to the audience. The majority of the aspects stated had a positive impact on the movie since they added tension and suspense, which is what this genre is all about. Low angle and eye...

More Filming!

Image
 When Connor arrived, we were ecstatic. This meant we could finish filming all of the scenes now. After me and Katie filmed the scenes in her house, we needed to film the rest of them. We began filming the next scene, which was me riding a bike through a neighborhood. I hopped on the bike and rode it, while Katie and Connor followed me filming as a tracking shot. Thankfully I knew how to ride a bike, so it was fairly easy to film. There was two other locations we needed to film at. One at a playground, and another in the forest at Hugh Taylor Birch State park. The three of us walked to a local playground and started filming the scene with Katie and I. We sat on the swings, rehearsing our lines quickly so we could film with ease. I took multiple shots, so we could pick the best one out of the couple. The props we used in that scene was our phones. Next, we had to film in the forest. Katie's neighbors gave us a key to enter the park. That was very convenient for us. We needed to film...
