Editing 1

 Hey blog! As far as the editing my group and I brainstormed together for what edits to do, while Maya and I did most of the actual editing

For the title we chose to use Frost Scream because of its creepy and horror like implications. For the title, we wanted to make sure that it was front and center as it would hint toward what the film was about. Because of this through, we waited until the end of the clip to include the title. For the video effects of the monster, we used a black and white filter to indicate the monsters view. While the view of the students were in color. We mostly used straight cuts for the transitions. For the title page, we used a fade in black transition to introduce it. For the audio effects, we prerecorded a lot of the sounds and adjusted the decibel level to accommodate for the different sound levels. Most of the audio from the main characters are from the original filming process, but the non-digetic sounds were added in after. Because none of us are trained or professional editors, we struggled to figure out how to use the editing platform. To solve this issue, we watched lots of YouTube videos and tutorials to fully understand how it works. Since two of us are editing, we spent a total of two and a half hours editing. It took so long because we made a mistake while uploading and forgot to save some of the videos. My Maya and I were primarily involved in editing. Although, our other group members helped with choosing transitions and effects. After editing, we realize that we may need to re-shoot some of the scenes due to poor camera quality and sounds. Therefore, we will have to continue refining everything and get better footage.

Peer Reviews of First Cut Movie Opener

Hello blog! My group and I collaborated to review our fellow groups videos and write what we thought were good and bad about each. FILM #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX32iRuSMvc What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like? In this film, I really appreciated the parallel editing. It made the film interesting and dynamic. The parallel editing alongside the tracking shots made it feel like we were actually in the film. Additionally, I feel that the music in this film helped add to the romantic atmosphere. It flowed well with the scenes and helped bring the sequences together.   What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike? My least favorite part of this film was when the characters started talking to each other. Instead of making the film more interesting and adding depth, the dialogue just removed the sense of mystery and excitement that was built up from the first few scenes. There was also a lot of background noise in the dialogue ...

Evaluation of Peer Reviews

 Hello blog, this post is one where my group and I collaborate to look at the reviews on our video and basically say what we feel about these reviews and how we used them to improve our opener. Peer Review #1 (https://alessajandro.blogspot.com/):   1. Technical elements I enjoyed were the chiaroscuro lighting, shadows, and low-key lighting used throughout the opener. They all contributed to building tension and uneasiness in the clip.   2. Technical elements I did not enjoy were the lack of brightness and the lack of sound effects in specific parts of the opener. For example, during the scene with the dark hallway it is harder to interpret what is occurring and could leave the audience a bit confused.   3. This did look like a movie opener and makes the audience want to learn more considering it is left on a cliffhanger.   4.   What left me confused was the volume of the dialogue throughout the opener as it would sometimes be too loud or too...

Filming Process

 Hello Blog, this post will be covering my group's process in filming. Planning: All the way up until last week my group was planning for our film location and time. We finally settled with our ideas around Monday and planned to film on Tuesday. Filming: We decided to actually get our filming done on Tuesday 2/11. We chose multiple locations for our different scenes which capture some teens "breaking into a school".  This picture shows one of my group members capturing a shot of the very beginning our our film introduction where I can be seen messing with the computer, emulating a teen checking their grades for the purpose of our plot, this is the motivation for the teens to break into school as they want to change their grades. This image captures my classmate and I filming a POV shot inside of a creepy corridor inside the school. We choose this setting in order to add a dark element to the film  and go along with our idea of a thriller type movie. The above two images c...
