Editing and Finalizing Blog

 I finally after some weeks of filming wrapped it all up. This process has definitely been a learning experience. I started our filming process November 24 and finished December 5. During our filming process we made sure to have some of our shots a little longer than necessary. I did this just to be on the safe side. Due to this we had to cut some of them to make them shorter. I kept certain seconds that really showed the best part of the whole shot. I kept the parts of the shots that really showed the entire setting and was more focused. Once my group member and I wrapped up this part we continued onto the next scenes. With some of the other scenes I also had to cut them. At most I had to cut around five seconds off of these shots. Nonetheless me cutting the scenes it made the editing process much easier. Once I wrapped up cutting my scenes we I got to the more tricky part. The tricky part being playing the music over the scenes. This was tricky because I had to make sure is playing throughout the whole video as well as making sure the volume was good. When doing this process I also had to cut the sound off of all of my shots. I did this so that you could only hear the music. I also had to edit the shots so that they flowed together rather than come out  choppy. After this I finally finished the editing process and started replaying the Music video. Replaying the music video was my way of double checking and making sure that everything was added correctly, everything flowed perfectly and did not feel choppy, and lastly just to make sure my music video concluded to be the correct length.

How to make a short film

  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...

Group Blog: Going Solo

I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...
