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.

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, ...

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 ...

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...
