Editing: Music Video

 After filming was done since Rohanna was the designated editor we helped her in understand the scenes order but aside from that once I gave her my SD card with all the takes on it. She took the clips from the camera after putting the SD card into her laptop and uploaded them into an app called IMovie. She then took the time to reorganize the right clips in order of the actual takes from the extras with the mistakes aka the bloopers in them. Some scenes wee filmed before the rest which means everything was out of order so we had to do constant retakes of certain parts of a scene. 

For example,  the bullying one and the walk to the river and sidewalk. Those needed to be re-filmed, because we had to adjust the scenery and switch what side we filmed on so it showed that it was actually a run in and not us walking down the same sidewalk at the same time. That would defeat to purpose of the message we were trying to aspire. She had to convert the music file and align the song with the proper clips so everything flowed smoothly while sending  out the message properly and effectively. 

The film was originally 2 minutes and 11 seconds long  but she showed where she could make cuts while still making sure to get every scene we needed in there. She gave us a new time of 1 minute which is amazing considering how we wanted to message to be heartfelt and descriptive on the receiving end. She added filtering in the fil  to add to the affect we want to have on our viewers since it is kind of of sad the black and white one helped to set the mood of the scene. It took Rohanna about 30 minutes in total. all that was left for her to send it out to us and for me to go and retrieve my SD card from her until the next project presented itself.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
