Editing Blog: The Beginning of a Masterpiece


Today was day 1 of my editing process. I haven’t edited a video in a long time so I was a bit rusty. But after a while, I got used to it again. I was also able to remember tricks that I usually use while editing. To edit my commercial, my main editing app was iMovie. My back up editing app that I used for cool edits in my commercial, was CapCut. CapCut has somethings that iMovie doesn’t have. While iMovie has somethings that CapCut doesn’t have. So, I used both to make sure that my commercial came out the way that I wanted it to. Today while getting all of my clips together, I noticed that I had re-film some clips. I have to re-film for 3 reasons. One reason was that the clips were never filmed. What I mean by that is the actors were acting, it’s just the camera never pressed play. The second reason is that I ran out of storage and had to make some space to finish filming. The third reason is that it just needs a retake so it can look and flow better when I edit. I have no problem with having to film certain parts again. I have no problem with this because at the end of the day, I want my film to look really good. I just hope everything will go good this time and I won’t have to re film again, just so I can finish my commercial asap. I was able to put my clips together and start editing the first half of my commercial. It’s already starting to come together and I am so excited to see the final outcome.

Genre Research Blog: Thriller

Image
The second genre that my group will be researching is thriller. Some elements of a thriller are a n action-packed opening, a  likeable protagonist, an unlikable antagonist, c liffhangers, character growth, a lesson, a t icking clock, which shows that the protagonist can be fighting with time, and an amazing, epic ending. Thrillers often have a race-against-time aspect to them – something that adds to the suspense and fuels the reader’s adrenaline rush. Whether it is a (literal) ticking time bomb or a criminal who will be sentenced to death in 48 hours if not proven innocent, this really adds to the pace of the book Lighting used in thrillers usually are low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. This is used the most for a big dramatic effect. Camera angles most used in thriller films are low angles, high angles, close-up shots, long shots, point-of-view shots, and over the shoulder shots. The low angle is used to make the p...

Convention Research: Dreamgirls

Image
After watching the film 'Dreamgirls', I noticed they used the drama elements sound, thought, plot, and character. Deena, Effie, and Lorrell are a music trio originally naming themselves the dreamettes. They met a manger named Curtis Taylor Jr. who promised to take them to the top of the game. The manger then begins to take too much control from the girls and then began to cause them to break apart one by one. This is the plot of the film. This film uses a lot of music. Some songs that they include are 'Listen' which was sung by Deena. Deena sung this song to express how she was feeling in the midst of the whole situation. She felt as if the manger wasn't listening to her from within. Another song that was sung was 'And I am Telling I'm Not Going' which was sung by Effie. Effie sang this song to express the hurt that she was feeling inside. The music of the film helped express some parts of the film as well. The character of the film would be Curtis. Alth...

Genre Research Blog: Comedy

Image
The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy.  Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party. Camera angles most used in comedy films are high angles, low angles, and dutch angles. The low angle is used to make the person appear more dominate over someone or something. High angles are used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable or make it known that there is something or someone higher or above the actor. Dutch angles are used to add an dramatic effect to either a confusing or awkward situation. Camera movements used in comedy films are pan, tilt, handheld, zooms and steadicams. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood...
