Editing the music video

 On December 5, 2020, Bethoven and I began editing our video. We first discussed how we were going to edit. Realizing we still both have to write the editing blog, so we had to ensure that we both do enough to write about. Due to Bethoven having all the videos we had to find a way to transfer all the videos to me. He tried to email me all the video clips but was unable to. All of the clips added up to too much storage to be sent through an email, so we had to find another way to share the videos. The next thing we tried was for both of us to be within a drive. It worked and I downloaded all of the videos to my laptop. 

We continued the editing on December 6, 2020. I took the first part of our editing processes. I put all the videos together in the editing software and they all came out to over two minutes, so I knew I had my work cut out for me. I first started by putting all the videos in order according to the storyboard we created. After they all were sorted out I started to crop the videos in order to reduce the time to the maximum. After I finished all the cropping it was still over a minute. I then found some extra clips of failed takes. That I was able to delete to reduce the time even more. After deleting those I managed to get under the time limit, so I had to think of another way to reach it. I slowed down one of the videos to fill up the few seconds. After all that was settled, I added some transitions to make it less choppy. I sent it to Bethoven after all so he can finish adding the rest of the transitions, music, and whatever else he would like.

The backup

Image
 When we were looking through our footage we realized that some of our outside scenes were a bit grey. All the clouds were blocking out the sunlight which caused us to try and use different filters to try and add more colors to the scene rather than letting it look bland and greyish. Another problem we saw/heard when we replayed our footage was the wind. The wind was blowing quite hard, hard enough that we could barely hear the actors speak. We had to reshoot those scenes because the other scenes became unusable. The cameraman had to film on the opposite side of where the wind was blowing to try and block out as much wind as possible. Another problem we faced was the cars and people. We were filming at a park so a lot of people were, so we tried to talk as loudly as possible to try and drown them out. We were able to drown them out, but we were still able to hear them in the film. It was okay because it just made the film look and sound more realistic. It would be weird to be in a ...

Genre research Drama

Image
  In this powerpoint, we were assigned to research a specific genre and analyze the specific conventions and to recognize what makes this genre different than others. To begin, in the drama genre, the different types of lighting used where low key lighting and high key lighting, usually to show the mood in the scene. Common angles included, but were not limited too, low angles, with common movement being reverse zoom, and tracking. Conventionally, costumes depended on the setting. While a drama filmed in the colonial period would likely depict women with dresses while a more modern drama would likely depict women with jeans and a tee. Elements of drama included suspense, foreshadowing and a consistent theme.    Finally, we researched that dramas usually have some type of score, diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental music.  What we realized when researching drama is the reoccurring themes which makes the plot more predictable and repetitive however, dramas have varie...

Genre Discussion

Image
 For the past couple of days, my partner and I have been discussing what genre should we do. We couldn't choose right away at first because we had to discuss the pros and the cons of each genre. We had to choose out of thriller, drama, and action. (3) The first genre we had was the drama genre. The drama has  stories with high stakes and a lot of conflicts. They're plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. We  both worked on this genre when we had the genre project, so we both had some knowledge about it. The pros of this genre are that we had the basics of it down, so the research could be kept to a minimum. This genre best fits the pitch that we choose in our earlier discussion. The cons of this genre are that some of the common things found in drama we might not be able to recreate. Things like costumes or have makeup. Other than the smaller details drama seem like the best choice out of the three. (8) The second genre we discussed w...
