Reflection

Questions

What technology did you learn to use?

I learned how to use the editing app Caput combined with blur. I can add pro effects from capcut and then screen-record the whole thing to count on blurr and export it for free from there. I learned to use overlays more often on the main layout. And how to time the jump-in effects for my media in every beat in my song choice. I learned how to measure the size right so it appears big enough to post on YouTube. I learned how to move certain pictures to different areas for easier reach, 

What did you learn about the process of putting a project together?

As much as it sounds hard, it is not that difficult, but it also isn't easy. It takes a good amount of time to complete this. You need to separate each step and divide the time for each. First, have an idea ready for how you want your project to look. The first step is to gather the media, then add the media, edit, add extras, final cuts, and finish. Export it, double-check it's right, then publish it. When publishing it or turning it in, make sure it's the right file or media. And watch out for the due date. 

What do you think you can do to make the next project better?

Pay more attention to it and make a better effort. Watch out for the deadline and not just suppose it to be in a short time for it may take longer than expected. Ask for more feedback, to see if it has a presentable view and if it is appropriate. Start my work earlier and turn it in on time. Add better media, and have more videos than pictures. Talk more, using voiceovers. Make the songs or audio less loud.

Seventh day: Film Review

Image
February 27 / 2024 For the review, I had my friend Kayla review our progress and take notes on it. Here are her following, exact words: "I absolutely loved the title, Housekeeper, I just feel like it gave a suspenseful vibe like The Beekeeper. It was a type of one-word yet not a one-word title, and it made it very interesting. I also liked the slanted title design. However for the designs, instead of three, I wish it was two because I feel like the two bold choices, to use the simple bold with the more slanted one, and not the one all over the place. I liked the plot, it was pretty good. But you know, this is a high school film, and productions are not too perfect. Besides that, it's a really good film. It used a good amount of conventions. Definitely make sure to redo that opening focal point, to make it more clear that this is where the scene is taking place. Make sure that the audience knows what they are watching." The speaker expresses admiration for the title "...

Title research: "Underwater"

Image
January 12/24 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? "Underwater" inserts its title following after a small speech. With an eerie soundtrack in the back fading in as the text appears. Then the title fades in, the letters in a crossed pattern. The credits are shown after in a thin font type, with a pure white color making it stand out in black. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? It provides us with the specific water body and where the movie takes place. Inserting map markings and newspaper publishing about incidents and information about the place. Images of the structure found in it. And the probable sea monster, which is the main reason for the movie. How does the film establish a feeling of a genre from the outset? It helps establish the feeling of the genre, however, it gives off more first as suspense rather than horror. However, as it keeps on going, the information and images provided in the video bring up the feeling that there is s...

Fifth Day: Editing Overview

Image
February 25 / 2024 So far, my group partner and I are quite satisfied with the progress we've made in filming our project. We've been able to come to a consensus on the various shots we need to capture for our opening sequence, which is a relief. However, upon transferring the footage to our computer for editing, I noticed a slight change in lighting that obscured some of the props, making them less visible on camera.  Furthermore, as I reviewed the footage, I observed that our actors weren't always reacting appropriately with their facial expressions to the unfolding events. For example, our antagonist is meant to initially appear as a good character before gradually revealing their evil intentions. However, during the editing process, it became apparent that the villain's malevolent nature was evident from the start, which affected the pacing and reveal of the plot. I had to work closely with the actors to adjust their performances to align with the intended character...
