Unable To Edit

Unfortunately, I could not edit the past couple days because I have been so busy. To start, I had three tests within one week. I had to study every second of free time that I had. So, I only get so much time to study in school because I have classwork to get done. Also, after school I go to straight to work. I work from 3-8 PM on school nights. Meaning that when I get home I have to shower, eat, clean, etc. By the time that is done it is 9:30 and I do not have time to edit or help edit. I study from 9:30-10:30 and then go to bed because I need to get enough sleep. I would have my groupmates edit in their free time, but they take the same classes I do. Which means that they also need time to study. They also have jobs that they need to do attend after school. So, we definitely should have planned a day to edit in advance. I have thought about some of the different types of edits we're gonna use. For example, in the scene where I am being chased up the stairs I want to use a split screen to show the positions of both actors. Another scene is the one where I am in the elevator with the suspicious man. I need to lower the diegetic sound of the beeping elevator because it makes it difficult to hear the dialogue. Tomorrow, I am going to talk to Noah and Dartamian about setting up a meetup over the weekend. I will help them edit and edit a little myself for a couple hours so that we can see if there's any room for improvement. If the project is how we want it to be then we will finish the editing on that day so that we can get it done.

  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song. Second Scene This will be introduced by a fade in where the characters will be relaxing and watching TV. This will be from the TVs perspective in which the main characters will be exaggerating their reaction to the content. Third scene The two main character's will be shown playing pool together and having a good time when the girl has to go. Then the two characters will agree on meeting for dinner later. This will all be shot long in order to capture all of the characters without any camera movement. Fourth Scene The male character will walk the girl to the garage say their goodbyes with the scene concluding with the door to the garage closing. This shot will be a medium long shot that follows the ...

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

Image
   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
