Editing the clips

 We already began sending all the clips to each other and slightly editing them. We also added some music to the background. We had an issue choosing what song to choose seeing as how they were hundreds of songs to pick from. We had to choose a song that would correlate with all the different scenes and moods that are being conveyed in our film. We had to crop all the scenes because some of the frames were either too big or too little. We also have to shorten some of the clips. Some of the clips when added all together they were too long for the two-minute time limit. Knowing that my partner cropped some of the beginnings of each scene to try and meet the requirement. In the day it took to begin editing the clips we had to reconsidered taking more takes and which shots to reconsider this time around. My partner and I had to discuss which scenes should we keep and which ones that wasn't feeling right. As we continued watching the clips we saw that some of them had some good parts to them. (11) My partner said to just use the good part and see how it would look after. I on the other hand thought we should just film the scene again as a whole instead of cropping around the good parts because I thought it'll look choppy. We decided that we weren't just going to use one song but multiple songs. We also had to cut does down in order to fit the scene they were implemented for. My partner's computer began to slow down with all these different elements and all the storage it was taking up. We've complete almost half the work needed to finish the project. We still need to work on the transitions, clean-ups, and audio. Then we shall send it to others to get their opinion. After that, we make some touch-ups and then publish them.

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...
