Editing What

Continuing

I got the app that I am going to use to edit my filming. I am using 2 apps, blurr, and capcut. Blurr will be used to time and insert the shots. Capcut will be used to edit and add effects. Capcut pro effects will be screen-recorded and then added to Blurr. Because you need to pay for some of them.

Process

I opened a new project and added the first few shots I had already taken. I speeded up the videos because they were too long for their dedicated parts. I had to cut a bit of a part from one of them. To add in the sound, I needed to screen-record the music and then add the video to the project. Then there's a feature that lets you separate the sound from the video, and I did that and kept the sound but deleted the video.

Purpose

The first few shots I have in my project indicate the alarm sounding and then me waking up. This is to give the feeling of early in the morning. 

Mistakes

The shots took a few tries. One of the shots had to be taken at a designated time because of the world clock. The first shots taken because of the world clock were messed up. So I had to wait longer for the next alarm to ring.

Late/Missing details

I need to continue taking the rest of my shots. My schedule as I wake up, and when I head to the building. And the rest of the shots will be in the gym. This will be a 3-day different shot takes because of the different exercises.

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...
