Editing: Tweak here... and another here

I have to keep it pushing. Exams are right around the corner so I have to speed up my process. I decided to use iMovie again. It has not failed me in the past so I do not see a reason to change it. I wanted to be cool and edit on my laptop but I cannot. I have yet to find a software or program that has all the editing features that I need. The ones I have found are not really my forte. I do not have a Macbook but I do have an iphone so that will be the device that I use. I am giving myself a week to edit. I think the editing part will not take too long. I am confident that this will all be over soon. This final task has been long but enjoyable. I have made nearly half a dozen life-long friends that I work really well with. I am forever grateful of the time and energy they spent helping me complete this once and for all.  Back to editing, I added in my sound today and I have started to add transitions. Because of the changes in scenery and angles I have had to add a lot of transitions. I am trying my hardest to not make my project turn into a trailer. Without transitions the opening scene is of poor quality. Transitions upgrade my film from amateur hour to profession-level work. The scene of my gates are of poor quality, that makes me sad. I was unable to reshoot correctly with that scene because my mom was not willing to slow down in front of that cemetery like my cousin was, being that it would hold up traffic.

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...
