Editing Blog: Continuing to Edit

After filming the car scenes, I went to import them into the film. I opened Adobe Premiere Pro to begin editing the opening sequence for my detective film. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about 3 years now years now. I moved the clips into my "video" category. I then went through every video and decided which should be part of the first minute and what might be excluded. I then 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 to make the film flow better. After the clips of me are fully done I watch them over and see if the videos need any fixing up. After that, I make sure that the video flows, like how a movie would. I experimented with adding transitions between clips. Which helped create a smooth visual experience. I adjusted the audio levels of the dialogue and sound effects for clarity and balance. Even after that I had to take away some of the clips that we filmed. I showed the video so far to my mom, my group, and my friend Peyton. My mom said that so far it looked good. My group said that some of the clips could be extended. Peyton said that said that I could fix the lighting because it was too bright for my genre, which is Thriller. Thriller generally has light low lighting because of the mysterious, dark, and dramatic mood the style creates. Once my group films again which will be next week, I can edit some more. Also, hopefully I can get the whole video done by mid March. Which is cutting it really close to the due date.

Critical Reflection

Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D1EKrIx0YmH9RTIADRH1n7b1hGkrG5TUnLtRnNhMeX8/edit How do your products represent social groups or issues? In my group’s short film, The Lull, it challenges the role a detective plays. In movies or short films in this case where the detective turns out to be the bad guy challenges our conventional perception of heroes and authority figures. This departure from the expected narrative trajectory challenges our trust in them and the meaning of being in charge. They reveal that even those we admire can have flaws and mistakes. This short film prompts us to question the effectiveness of our power systems and their fairness, reminding us that sometimes those in charge aren't as perfect as we might expect. This can symbolize the abuse of power within institutions and the betrayal of public trust, reflecting real-world instances of corruption and misconduct within law enforcement.  Moreover, the detective's dual role as investigator and killer ra

Creative Critical Reflection

1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? My product uses conventions by including what the headphone looks like, the Beats logo, what type of headphone it is (seen at the end of the commercial). The product represents social issues by everyone being able to buy these headphones. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real product media text? My product engages with audience by showing that you can wear it at the park and showing the look of it. It would be distributed as a real media text through media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and etc. 3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Throughout this project I had three different roles (acting, directing, and editing). With acting, I learned how move with the camera and know what it feels like to act behind a camera. With directing I learned to communicate with new terms like high and low a

Final Task: R3VENGE Opening Sequence

This was my group's third major project that we worked on together with the addition of a new group mate. It was an amazing experience, from the filming, planning, and editing. My knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and the camera movements, angles, and shots plus the last project really helped shape this opening sequence of my group's own original film.
