Production Blog: Editing Day 2

So there was a hold up in the editing process for us. Seeing as when Idline gave Rohanna the SD card she took it out of its original casing. Not knowing it would be need to be inserted properly into the laptop for Rohanna to edit with ease we paid it no mind. Until Rohanna mentions the SD card would not fit properly. Fortunately though I was able to get most of the takes and email them to Nishayla.

So she was able to give it to Rohanna and help her do it that way instead of worry about the SD card. I was super nervous and worried we wouldn’t finish on time. Continuing it got done and everything was okay. I didn’t realize how much I could stress until it came time to edit everything. After fixing that we worked on cutting times and deciding what’s scene were most important to have.

So while this was going on we wanted to add filters and other transition designs to provide better lighting and detailing in the film. The clips we had were really long so we hand to cut them into smaller portions and cut everything down to meet that 2 minute mark. With all the research we did adding the extras we need was easier than it was on the first day of trying to edit. The cross fade was inserted without issues. Since I did all the designs and work before sending it out to everyone it was done fine .

Previously I taught the girls how to upload an create videos on YouTube to allow that film to been show on our blogs. So I made sure everyone understood what to do on that part seeing as we would need to do it once more. When the editing was done every one was able to upload the final product with ease and no complaints.

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.

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...
