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.

Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

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...
