Final Task: Editing 2

 


 

Editing of the footage collected the weekend prior commenced this week. Using my Microsoft Video Editor, I cut and organized the recordings. Before even delving into the editing app, I deleted extra footage that was in my camera and saved a few extra ones. I uploaded and saved the videos I wanted in the film to my laptop then later uploaded them into the editing app. Since I now had the footage to go before the previous footage I edited, I cut the scene to transition nicely into the next. The majority of editing this week was trimming and ordering the scenes. This week was light editing due to the missing first 3 scenes. I put off editing like music and adding effects until I had more footage. Adding in music and special effects would have taken more times as well, and that was time I did not have this week. Spring Break will grant much more time to work on the project, and filming should be completed by the end. I plan to complete the majority of editing of the entire film by the end of spring break. I also plan to use another app for editing transitions, and it takes a while for the footage to transfer onto that specific app. If I added the sounds now and later added footage the timing of the sounds would not correlate with the footage, so its better to complete filming before deep editing. While light editing, I was able to finalize the costume of the main male lead for the first 3 scenes. I decided on a black fitted athletic fitted shirt, basketball shorts, and tennis shoes. I may plan to throw in accessories like glasses or a watch, depending on the situation. As the first sense show him going for a morning run, he will be wearing common workout clothes. Due to restriction on the budget, the costume was based on things found in the actor’s wardrobe. Prior to making the storyboard I actually considered the actors clothing choices and decided the scene on something the actor readily had. The plot of the entire film was actually based on the actors portraying the characters, or at least how I view them.

Planning for my Mr. Split Banana's Commercial

Image
  I plan to use multiple conventions in my commercial, but I will mainly focus on the common conventions of the action genre. I decided to do my genre project and interview on action, so I feel I am most familiar with action and can utilize it the best. I will use multiple conventions of action from lighting to even common sounds. In my project I plan to advertise a brand of bananas called Mr. Split. The brand will turn the common fruit into an admired superhero known as Mr. Split. Mr. Split banana stealers that take the enjoyment and deliciousness of bananas away from innocents. Slogan: “Mr. Split bananas! Full of energy to rid the world of all evil doers inside and out.”   Location There will be two locations: my house and the park down the street. Due to the pandemic there aren’t a lot of places I can travel to do this commercial, so I’ll just have to use the resources closest to me. The park is being used because of the large amount of space and the house is used to ...

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
                                                   In general, music videos contain multiple components that deliver the lyrics of the song through a visual outlook. Common conventions in a music video are long shots, close ups, and mid shots. Close ups are most common out of the three, as it is the clearest way to deliver the emotions of a character in a music video as well as to help the audience understand the plot of the video better. Since this is a music video there will be a lack of dialogue and therefore a lack of context, which will have to be made up for through the facial expressions and actions of those in the video which can be best captured through close ups. Not all music videos tell a story but regardless, close up shots remain very common. Tilts, tracking, and pans are among the many camera movements that can be found in a music video.  ...

Filming Mr. Split Commercial: My Brother Steals the Show and my Pocket Money

Image
  Today (October 29, 2020) I decided to film the first 3 scenes of my commercial (storyboard boxes 1 through 3). After much begging, and a unreasonable payment, I finally got my brother to join me in filming and to play a few characters. I bribed him into being the banana stealer and Mr. Split, but once the later scenes like the fighting scene occurs, my youngest brother will remain as Mr. Split while my oldest brother will take over the role of banana stealer. Since the scenes were simple, I did not encounter many problems, but there were a few problems with the props. Since I had free time and my brother was in a good mood, I wanted to get the filming done today, but by the time I chose to film the bananas began to rot. It's not as noticeable in the video but I was still disappointed about it. I also fell through with the banana stealer’s costume, as he was supposed to be wearing all black including black sunglasses. I couldn't find any black glasses, so I had to go to an alt...
