Editing Blog: The Last Bits

After my group finished filming on Friday evening, on April 7, I immediately started to editing the opening sequence for our film. My editing was delayed by some tie because my mother had to drop off David, Cailey, and then me to my other grandparent's house. When I got there I created a folder with all the clips I film for the project on my phone and transferred them to my laptop. These clips included when I filmed with Cailey and me leaving the house and entering the car. However, transferring the clips was I could that night since I had other homework to on. During Saturday and Sunday, I tried to manage my time doing homework and editing. Saturday was more of me resting and doing homework. Sunday was the day I actually did some editing. Like every time I start to edit, I organized everything by 5 different categories... videos, sound/music, green screen videos, sound effects, and photos. I do this all the time because it helps me find things easier rather than everything being all of the place. I then went through every video and decided which should be part of the opening sequence and what might be excluded. Also, I put the selected videos into the timeline and put those videos aligned in the order they needed to be. After that, I cut the videos and watched them over and see if the videos need any fixing up. After that, I make sure that the video flows but a little roughly since there were still some clips that needed to be added. Like me driving in the car from an over the shoulder shot that my mom filmed on her phone. I also need David to send me the videos that we took on his phone. Which leads me to today (Monday). David told me that him emailing me the clips was not working, so we waited until afterschool. Around 8pm I receive a notification from my email, and I saw that it was the clips David was trying to send earlier that day. Now that I have almost all of the clips I can finally start getting into some deep editing. Hopefully this will be done by the 13, maybe the evening of the 14 at the latest.

Filming Blog: Plans Didn't Work Out Again

Image
Well my group and I wasn't able to film at all. When me and my group came to class that week we talked about filming again. I think there was an early release day that week but we couldn't use it because we would be busy. In the end we wall agreed that Sunday would be our other filming day. On Monday, I was doing... as usual. I also watched the Grammys. Which are  awards presented by the Recording Academy of the United States to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry. They are regarded by many as the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry worldwide. On Tuesday, I didn't have that much homework. So I watched a movie and a TV show. On Wednesday, I did homework again. During my study hall class I went to best buddies. Best Buddies is a club at my school that consists of volunteers that create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. On Thursday, I did homework. On Friday, I did nothing. I just watched m...

Production Blog: Editing My Videos

Image
Once me and David finished filming on 12/10/22. We wanted to import the clips he took on his phone but we both agreed on waiting until Monday. We then imported the clips through email. David decided to give me half of the clips then the other half the next day. I eventually got all the clips and I started to import them into my editing program, which is Adobe Premiere Pro. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about a year and a couple of months. Before I started editing my part of the music video, I organized everything by 5 different categories... videos, sound/music, green screen videos, sound effects, and photos. I do this all the time because it helps me find things easier rather than everything being all of the place. Also, it's been this way ever since I got Premiere Pro. Before I import the clips I put the actually music video from the artist into the timeline, which is where are the clips, photos, music, and text is placed. I then went through every video and decided ...

Planning Blog: Title Design

The opening credits of my film will appear in a bold font that appears to be typed in different places around the screen. The size of the text will be pretty big so the audience can clearly see the credits. The color will be white with a black shadow/outline to give a little edge. Some credits, will appear to be embedded into the actual setting. For example, on the walls, on the objects in the scene, and buildings/houses. Working Title: The title of the film is most likely to be "R3VENGE" The working title will be bold faced with all caps: LIKE THIS . Also, the 3 will be 1-2 lager than the font and will be red: LIKE THIS The titles will be faded into the screen and and disappear with a fade out. The titles will disappear after 2-3 sentences. Some of the titles may have different sizes. Like 2 sizes larger than the normal. The titles are the Name o the Studio, Name of Production Company, Produced/Executive Producer, and Directed By. These titles will also be bold faced. Video ...
