Production Blog: Practicing My Editing Skills

I am glad to say that my group and I are soon to be on the editing stage of our production period. I have much experience editing from last year. I hope to see my progress and development in this class through my editing skills. Lili was the first person to introduce us to CapCut. It was the best app ever to edit our scene together and adjust anything we desired. I love editing since you can literally fix any errors and make the film spectacular. Last year, with the three projects that we had, I saw improvements with each one throughout the year. I definitely feel that our last film last year was the best editing wise. Now with this bigger assignment, I want to show those skills even more and impress the audience. With CapCut, I hope to accomplish these goals and persevere in media studies. Additionally,  I have been practicing on my techniques outside of the classroom. When I go out to travel, I experiment with various shots and angles depending on the view. Also, I have tried different filters based on tones and the ambience that the background is giving. On this 5-minute film, I will give it my experience and knowledge to make an amazing movie. I will also have to discuss with my teammates on certain features that partake in editing the film. This will include lighting, cuts, and transitions. The transitions are the trickiest part for me, because I don’t know if they look pleasing to the eye. I feel like they really determine the flow of the different shots which is a big factor in the attention of the audience. If it looks choppy, the viewer will not enjoy watching the messy film. Therefore, I want to ensure that I make it flow and make sense with what is occurring in each scene. I will do this with the help of my friends and asking for their opinions, as well as my group mates.

Final Task

I don't have any words. I just can't believe that I'm actually done with the final task. It was definitely a journey. I have had so much fun producing this film with my group. I could not have asked for a better team. They are all great individual human beings and together we have created something we wouldn't have imagined from the start. I am proud for what I have accomplished these past few months and am extremely excited to show you what I have created. I can definitely see progression from my other projects to this one. I put much hard work and took time to be able to complete this film with my group. The film is spectacular for my group and we think we did marvelous. Our horror movie was one of the funnest and craziest things I have ever made in my life. This was an amazing experience and glad I chose to push through it. I am incredibly honored to present to you my 2-minute film!

Production Blog: Night Out

Image
My group and I have one filming day left to complete our short film. We completed our project this day with a night scene. Due to the fact that we had not reached the time demand, we had to film extra clips while also not making our video clumpy. This night was really fun, because not only did we get to film, but we also were able to hang out as a group. We went out early before the sunset. This way we could prepare a little before it started to become darker. Throughout this time, I planned where the scene was exactly going to take place. Also, we got ice cream while waiting until the perfect timing. Then, the time finally came. We went out the the perfect spot to film the mysterious scene of Rachel. We took a couple of tries trying to get the perfect angles and movements. However, I was a bit worried since I knew that it would get dark pretty soon. Eventually, Rachel and Chloe did the PERFECT moves and said the exact words that went with the dark, creepy ambience. Furthermore, we wen
