Final Task: First Day of Editing

 






Contrary to the schedule, editing did not take place on March 7, 2021. Editing took place at a later date due to lack of time on March 7, 2021. When planning the schedule, I mainly targeted it towards filming. Since filming involves other people’s time, it was best to provide a schedule, but editing is based solely on me, so I don’t hold the dates to as high a standard. The dates for editing in the schedule are more of a guide but one date, the date where all editing is finalized, is a goal. Editing this week did not consist of much since I did not have much film and scenes to edit. I first went through all the videos I recorded in my camera and choose the ones that were acceptable and deleted the ones with mistakes. I kept some on the camera as a backup just in case I felt like changing it or a peer reviewer felt another take would fit better. Once I selected the ones I plan to have in my film for now, I uploaded them to my computer and then to the editing app. The editing app I used was the Microsoft Video Editor. This app will primarily be used for trimming and putting the scenes in order. Some other features I used was the slow-motion effect that slowed down a few parts of the scene. There were also some 3d effects and filters of the app that I used. I applied the Romance filter to one recording, where the camera captured the main female lead’s beauty, along with a slow-motion effect. Another sequence that I have not filmed yet has to go between two of the sequences I’ve already made, so I put a place holder in to make the transition easier. With the scenes in place, I began browsing for songs that would best fit each part. I have multiple selections, but they are of course limited due to copyright. As scheduled, I will continue filming on the weekend of March 13-14. No editing will commence that weekend and all time will be dedicated to filming. I plan to finish filming by that weekend, so editing and peer review will remain being that they are the longest parts.

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...
