Editing Blog: Changing the Plan

-


 So, we did the filming part of the final task not totally wrong but somewhat wrong. The film is supposed to be the opening sequence of a movie. Instead of that we film a whole short film not knowing completely. This time we left the editing up to Joel since he had an idea on how to fix. Of course, we’re going to help him if we need to. However, he said that he had software which was called Danvinci Resolve, so we thought it was best for him edit the film. I was going to record the outside of my house for one of the scenes, which wasn’t what we included at first in our film. I believe that Joel will be the on who puts the clips together so it seems like it is an opening sequence. The point of this is so that it doesn’t tell the whole story or plot. I’ll put the words and titles and things like production and editing since I was the one who picked the fonts. Ludji also thought it was best for us to leave the part of when her and I were having a conversation on the phone. This takes up a lot of time, while the opening sequence is only supposed to be minimum 1 minute and 57 seconds. We are going to also to mix the clips around so that the plot is not as obvious as it should be. Such as, maybe putting the jumpscare first instead of it being the last clip. Both Joel and Ludji thought it would also be cool to edit some blood into the opening sequence while the title is being shown. At first, before editing, we thought that we should’ve just re film since this film is half of our grade. However, we realize we really didn’t have that much time. So we edited the clips to the best of ability. Like, clipping clips, or shortening clips. Also, leaving clips out that we thought told to much plot. Though, the easy part was just putting the words on the screen and also using different effects. I took part in editing the film like the titles and sub titles on the film. Such as using the font we chose and adding the editors, production company, and the actors. I made sure that about every person got the same amount of credit while I created these titles. I also used the app Alight Motion and I was able to fade the white text into red to give it that scary effect.

Re-Filming

 As for re-filming our open sequence, we didn’t do much re-filming. When we soon found out that we had did our slightly wrong, we did think about the idea of re-filming. However, we figured that we wouldn’t enough time to even re-film, since it was nearing the end of February. One did we re-film were several parts of our opening sequence. Such as, re-filming the scene if someone laughed or if noise was in the background. At one point we did have to re-film a part only because we changed our mind about using my camera. The camera had really good quality and thought it would be best to use. However, my camera runs on batteries and was about to go dead. So, we re-filmed the part where Ludji is on the phone talking to the other person, me. If we were to re-film,  we would probably re-film the outside of my house. When I recorded the outside of my home, it was still pretty bright outside. The time taking place during this film is like evening, dusk time. Showing the house while it’...

It was pretty easy

 Editing was easy for the most part since I already knew what I was doing. I used an app that I was familiar with so I wouldn’t have to learn how to use a different app. I added certain edits in there like split screen, fade in, fade out, and so on. I just inserted a clip, maybe shortened it or made it longer so it could match the length of the song we used. The only editing I had to do on the song was to fade the sound in towards the beginning and to fade the sound out towards the end of the music video. I also had to lower the sound for a period of time so the dialogue of the video was present. The only thing that was stressful and annoying was when the app (Alight Motion) would lag, glitch, or kick me out of the app. Other than that editing was pretty smooth. I tried to edit and film at the same time so it wouldn’t be as much work. However, in the end I just ended up editing after I was done filming everything. When I had to edit the video, it wasn’t the “editing” I thought we h...

Peer Review

 For our film we got two people to critique our blog. To be honest, they had absolutely nothing bad to say and thought that it was really good. Lyne, said that she didn’t think anything was wrong. She said she loved the choice of music. She also said that she loved how it got louder at the climax of the film. She said that she actually got scared on the part, which was the climax of the film. This was a bonus because our movie genre is horror, so that’s the whole idea. Ludji also asked another friend for critiques. Her name was Valentina. She also had nothing bad to say about our film too and thought that it was really good. She said that are video was really good. She hoped that her turns out like ours. The only critique she had was that at one point it sounded like the music sounds like it restarts. Valentina said that the cut of the music in the back was a little obvious. So we are going to fix it. She said to just try to make it smoother and blend in better. Just so that it’s n...
