Production Blog: Editing Day 1

Today was the first day of editing. This is when we decided that Rohanna was going to be our editor. We made sure to give her all the tools needed and provide her with any assistance she may have needed. Due to her working we knew she wouldn’t be able to finish the entire thing in a day. That was the original plan.

We all got to take time and make sure that all our other parts of the project were done correctly. Now we are just awaiting our finally product. We got the permissions we needed for the music and songs. Sounds we used will be voiced over if needed. We prepared all the editing features we wanted to use that didn’t already come with the editing software.

Yes we choose to use it and it works wonderfully but sometimes a little extra was needed for a third party to achieve the goal we wanted. It was a long process but there were questions and answers to everything that was asked. No one was left out and no one was left behind. We all managed to get through and keep up with everything else that was going on for the final touches of the project. Rohanna, Idline and Nishayla make great partners.

When mistakes are made our way on dealing with the situations we’re handled with maturity leaving us all stress free and diligently working to succeed on this task at hand. We assured Rohanna that if it was to much that we could always help her edit and we hadn’t heard from her since she began the editing process. Seems she was really focused and ready to work.

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.

There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth.

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, ...

Research: How to Make a Short Film

This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home." The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...
