Changes Made From Film Review

 In the film review, I was told that the audio quality was poor in the elevator scene. I attempted to open volume mixers on the editing software. However, there was nothing there and I tried to mute the audio overall and see if it we could add a voice over. That ended up sounding off and it didn't fit the mouth movements in the original scene. So, I went as far as to trying new sound editing software. I could not get anything to work so I am going to have to just leave it as it is. Another issue was that the camera wasn't held steadily in some scenes. I ended up getting the group back to reshoot the scenes that were messed up. The new footage wasn't as good as the original so I decided to let the problem stay as it was only a minor issue anyways. The next issue was that I overused certain edits and it was repetitive. So, I removed a few of the edits that appeared multiple times. Since I wanted the edits to fit the mystery genre, I had to replace the original edits with similar edits. For example, I substituted some of the fade edits for dissolve edits. Also, there were lots of jump cuts so I added split screen edits. This would allow for creativity and a fast-paced feeling to the film. The last complaint was that the sense of realism wasn't there in all scenes. So, this fix wasn't all that important because not a lot of people notice little details like that. However, it was a simple fix, all I had to do was reshoot one scene. Although, I did have to shoot a whole new scene where I ran to the edge of the roof. I did so and added it to the film and now my film is the best it can be.

  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...
