Making progress

 

On the last episode of editing I struggled to find a perfect editing source. I searched on the AppStore and on the web. I was not disappointed in my findings. I found this website called clipchamp. At first I was severely skeptical that they were going to ask me for a fortune for a simple commercial and then I believed this was what I needed to make an unforgettable commercial. I started right away. It took a couple of minutes to get a hang of the website but that’s rather normal. I navigated my way through the ins and out of this newly discovered website. I thought it would be cool to add an effect where it’s as if I’m turning on a TV I found that option so I used it. It looked really cool. Next I moved on to the font. I had to think about what I wanted the text to say and how big I wanted it. I decided champion was the move. It got my idea across and it was short and sweet. I then proceeded to place the first scene. What I did not expect was for the shot to be shaky. It was too late, I had to make the best of what I had and work with it. I tried to add a still picture to make up for it but that damaged the commercial all together so I swallowed my pride and let sleeping dogs lie. Before I knew it time was up, the bus ride home was almost two hours. I took care of myself then started on my homework. After my long day I could not pick up where I left out on the editing. I plan on finishing up this weekend. See you then… au revoir!

Genre Research: Five Flights up

 This movie is about an old couple, a husband and a wife, spending a hectic weekend considering selling an apartment they have been sharing for over forty years. The couple thinks firmly as they think of what's at stake of turning their backs on their home that is full of memories and feelings. This movie often displayed close-ups. Using close-ups, we could see the emotions of the character that was on screen. Establishing shots in this movie were found in the beginning of the scenes. Their purpose was showing where the scenes is filmed and to give the viewers an idea of the time and place this is occuring. The costumes were simple outfits that you would see in normal times. The film was centered around a beautiful old couple who were trying to sell their home. That home has been called theirs for decades but the times have changed so it is hard to stay in one place and old-fashioned when everything around you is changing. There was a moderate change in wardrobe but that would be w...

Title Design Research: (Thriller) 30 Days of Night

  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? I counted fourteen titles this time around. I am starting to feel unsure as to am I counting the titles correctly. When I read the requirements for question one I thought the answers would be around 3-4. Lately I have been getting ten and over. I am a bit worried that I am counting extra credits. The credits I saw in the opening film were screenplay, screen story, produced by, executive producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, actors, music by, co-producer, casting, visual effects supervisors, production company, and unit production managers. In all honesty I started to see assistant directors and things along those lines so I stopped. That was definitely too much for me to add to the blog. 2.      What connotations do the images carry? This opening sequence put their all into it. Never have I ever heard an opening song that ...

   Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have come around this block to update you guys on what is going on. Lately I have researching different ways I can improve my final task. I can recall what felt like yesterday choosing between two fantastic pitches. One pitch was about an escaped robber hidden amongst teenagers hanging out at a local mall. The other pitch was about a tragedy is reported by a girl in her diary and how drama unfolds. Despite my efforts to go with the first one I had to go with the second. As a high school student, with no source of income I was unable to fund my activities or any projects that may have come my way. Of course I would be able to buy a camera that is necessary because the camera would last me nearly a lifetime. As well as it would be a one time purchase instead of continuous payments. To add to my disadvantages I knew that I was gonna have more than a hard time gathering the people I would need. In my planning blog I mentioned choosing...
