Wrapping Things Up

 

Yesterday was the last day of filming. It all went very smoothly and there's not much left to do. Today I just need to edit. I need to put those new scenes into the project on iMovie. However, I have school today. I must take 2 tests and complete 4 classwork assignments. I spent my morning studying for psychology and calculus. I took the tests and feel like I did well. Then, in my last period of the day I completed my 4 classwork assignments. Now that I was able to get home, I could start editing. I had Lily send me the rest of the footage. Once I got it, I downloaded it to my camera roll. I imported it into the project and then it was fairly easy from there. I just had to move it to where I wanted it to fit into the film. Then, I had to adjust the background music to play during the clip. Next, I needed to adjust the volume lower because it was extremely loud at first. After this, I edited the credits into the film. I made sure the font fit the aura surrounding the film. Lastly, I just added little transitions. This makes everything flow more smoothly. Now, I needed to send the final product to Lily and see what she thought. She absolutely loved it and said that she's also gong to ask other people. Everyone else loved it and we got the reactions we wanted. I felt accomplished and celebrated by treating myself to a nice dinner. Finally, it was time to get some rest and prepare for the reflection process.

  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.

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 amenities available to the s
