WEEK 6 Post 2

                                                                         Starting Editing

        As we finished our clips this week we knew the next step in the process was to start on our editing as soon as possible. First we made any edits to the clips on our iphone before we uploaded them to anything therefore we wouldn't have to try to edit them on a software that is harder to use. We did things like cropping, editing the length of the clips, and appearance tweaks like brightness and such. Next the group downloaded all the clips from Kate's phone onto Hallie's Microsoft one drive therefore we could put them on a flash drive. We decided to put all the clips on Hallie's flash drive as she had the most storage on it out of the most of us. From our past projects we had learned about how helpful the next step is when further in the editing process. Naming all of our clips, most times when they are in adobe you can only see a cover photo of the clip and when deciding which ones to transfer over to adobe you need to know which clip is which. So we did that and then when they are on a flash drive we are able to then put them on adobe and also as we edit and progress our project we can constantly upload the new versions on to the flash drive. I have mentioned this before but we are using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit our project. 

       After we uploaded all the clips onto the flash drive and dragged them into the Adobe program, our next step was to order the clips into the right order. So we also had to take a second to figure out how we wanted the clips organized to get the aesthetic and timeline. Mostly we had to focus on specific time lines when it got around to the car crash to make sure everything lines up, most of the other things were just going to be in montage style. Once we got everything how we wanted we decided that we were going to download the music we needed. A few posts ago I covered the story of the music and we landed on using these 2 royalty free songs. One happy one and another sad feeling one to match the two tones of the video. To add music it is a little more complicated than the videos. In short you need to convert them using an mp3 converter. And then you need to open Adobe Audition which is for music and sound and drag it into there. then it will show up in the same spot as your video clips and you are free to insert them and clip them to wherever you want. We didn't get to adding in the music but we got it downloaded into Adobe. That marks where we ended for the week considering editing. The next post covers the voice overs that will be a big part of our project.

WEEK 5 Post 1

                                                                        Week 5 Post 1      Welcome back to my blog, this first post going into week 5 is about the roles that each person in our 3 person group has. The group includes me and my two friends Hallie, and Kate. We have to take on all the roles needed to create a short film. The first roles mentioned are the two main characters Blair and Riley. Kate will be playing Blair, the friends that dies in the car accident. And Riley will be played by me, Ella. So we will be the ones in videos acting. And as Riley I will be doing the voice overs as well. There is also a voiceover for blairs mom in the phone call, for that voice we will do Hallie, because her voice hasn't really been heard or recognized yet. Those are the only in-film roles that t...

WEEK 2 - Film Opening Portfolio Project

Week 2 Blog post 3   Technology:   The technology that we will be using for our project is simple . First, we will be filming on our own apple phones for our camera , which is an iPhone 13 camera. Besides the camera, our teacher does have additional equipment to better the quality of our filming . He has some mics to record voices clearly, if you have an intro that has dialogue . Although our video will have a voice over so we will record a voice memo and edit it to play over our video. Since we are going to be filming on ou r phones , we need tools that will improve the quality of our filming technique. So, we are offered to borrow a  tripod this will help tremendously with making shots steadier and more professional looking. I think that sense these videos are very homemade what makes an intro stand out is the quality. I n class we watched several example intros from previous proj...

CCR Post 2

 Critical Reflection Project #2           For the second CCR Post My group and I did a podcast. I also will be posting my answer typed out to get  a better idea of my interpretation and answer of the question across better. The question I answered was " How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" My answer: I feel typical coming of age movies can vary in plot and maturity offering ways to entertain lots of different audiences . Although considering our film I feel that it gravitates towards a more spec i fic group with our characters and plot. I would say that it most closely targets young people, teenage age and thinking more specifically I would think that it target girls mor e than boys. Regarding to the two girl main characters, and girly feel to the film it may not peek boys' interest as much. This film also portrays a very specific lifestyle that may attract an audience becau...
