production blog: continuing to edit

 Today my group and I did more editing for our music video. Me and my groupmates decided that doing the editing would be easier to do on one laptop so that we could edit together. After my group and I got signed in and ready to edit we found that the music was temporally not working. This made my group and I unable to edit as the program would not permit it. Because of this the music was temporally unadded to the music video and will be added back later. Today the editing was mainly about making the music video 1 minute and 15 seconds. Before editing today, the music video was at 1 minute and 26 seconds. Since the music video was over the max limit some scenes and parts of scenes had to be cut. Although I did do some editing on the computer today, I mainly helped gave suggestions and feedback to Tasmia and/or Kennedy. This helped to form editing ideas and make the music video look better. Some of the suggestions/edits I made were, for the part of a scene where Tasmia points to me I suggested in order to cut some time out that this part be cut out. Instead, to just cut from Tasmia and Kennedy talking at the table to them walking and meeting me. In this scene as well, I also cut out the closeup of me as the music video was still over the max limit for this project. In another scene (where Tasmia is walking on her way to meet Kennedy) I suggested that a part of Tasmia walking was cut out (not the whole part but just some). I also suggested at about the same time as Tasmia that the shot of us all waving at the camera was taken out. After this, my groups music video was a few seconds off of the max limit. Because of this, I suggested speeding up a scene or two. Eventually my group and I decided that the scene where Tasmia was walking on her way to talk/meet Kennedy would be sped up. This was the only scene that my group and I decided to speed up. Tasmia and I played around with how fast the scene should be to not make it look awkward/out of place. We alternated between different speeds before settling on one that Tasmia and I both thought was right for the scene.

Title Design Research: Crazy Rich Asians

 1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are four titles. The titles are the movie name, and the companies that co-produced the movie. 2.What connotations do the images carry? (How do you they make you feel?)  The images are very colorful and change with each new title that is presented on the screen. This makes me feel happy and excited to see the rest of the movie/film. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is?) Although it is a little hard to see what the genre is, the movie still uses some symbolic codes that correspond with the genre. Such as, using bright colors and upbeat music. As this is a romantic comedy and is supposed to be more on the cheerful/hopeful side as well as giving comedic relief. 4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? In order to do this the film uses visual effects and music to its advanta

Genre Research: Cinderella The Amazon Original

Image
   Hello, today My group and I are researching Fantasy Movies so we have a better idea of what our opening sequence will look like. The first movie we are researching is Cinderella, made by Amazon.  The common sounds that I found in cinderella, was dialogue, and diegetic sound, along with singing. I did notice that in most fantasy moves it opens with some kind of narration, like a storybook. In this movie it did it as well, it also broke into sound and dance within the first 15 to 25 seconds in.  One of the common camera angles was a bird's eye view, so the audience could see the different movements the actors were doing as they danced. Another common camera angle was the medium shot, this was often used if the character was sitting, or if the character was eating, basically something that didn't require that much movement. The last common camera angle is Wide shot when a character was walking or opening a door, or talking to another character.  In this movie, the characters wo

planning

  Props:     My group will be using a backpack, piece of paper and our product (Paper Mate pens). We will also be using a different type of pen (not the one we are advertising) to contrast to the Paper Mate pen.  Since we will be making our commercial about a brand of pen we will not need to have a lot of props.  Costumes:  My groupmates and I will all be in the commercial (be actors). Since this commercial is about pens (usually people are wearing normal clothes) we will just be wearing regular/normal/street clothes. If our filming takes place between multiple days we will make sure to be wearing the same things- so not to have a confused audience/have it make sense.  Schedule:   On 9/23/21: Our group will research any essential things for this project/commercial. The planning for things such as a backup plan, set/location, costumes, scheduling and the props needed will also be finished.  By 9/29/21: We will make sure the storyboard for this commercial is completed. My group and I wil
