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.

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, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

 So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done.  I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

               The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the  ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
