‘Domino affect’ in action!!

(Re-upload) 

 Well today we finished up everything and wrapped up our video.  I truly enjoyed working on this project and researching the different ways that I could improve it. Over the span of this project along with things like tell designs in different ways to do films depending on it’s genre. My favorite part out of everything was definitely  producing and editing everything. Being able to have creative control over nearly half of it felt great. Editing was a breeze and filming was ‘OK’ despite the many setbacks they came upon us. Like the last one it was entirely new and different concept for me that I believe that I grasped pretty well. Broaden my view on the film industry and The various steps they take for similar bigger projects. With all of the issues that are rows around our time of filming I did get discouraged a it but once he got over it andWith all of the issues that are rows around our time of filming I did get discouraged a bit but once we got over it and found a better idea to substitute it with it became very fun. It felt nice thinking of an idea and finding ways to put it together in your own little mini movie intro!

Film review editing + wrap up

Hi blog today were wrapping up all  the filming and fixing our mistakes from the task review. Not sure if  I mentioned this earlier but we have look-alikes in our film. It would be like a stunt double but without the stunts. I did all the filming on my part so everything was left for Keanah to do.  I was sent every remaining video so I spent my time throughout the week editing .  Since  a lot of the things were recorded at different times and places,  making things flow was a big issue.  I also had a list of all the issues my brothers friend told me , so I had that on hand when finishing up my editing. Surprisingly the music kind of made editing easier for me. Transitioning on certain beats of the music actually made it look less choppy then before. also with including the sound from the robbery scenes along with the music made it feel more real. The background sound contained sounds of things ruffling over and things falling over. After moving on from the sounds I focused seeing what I could do to fix the lighting on my part. either to redo the specific part or just explore the editing software to see what I could do. I did end up keeping the video and just finding ways to improve it. the issue with that was that my brother recorded the scene for me on snapchat with a filter. so if I wanted to add a filter to update the lighting it would make it seem unnatural , which isn't the plan.

Film review!

 Hi blog I got my brothers and his friend to watch and give their opinions on our nearly finished film. I chose theirs who since they’re really blunt and honest when it come to critiquing me and that would really be fit me in fixing it.  Starting off with the cons and things we needed to fix, they stated execution, lighting and acting.   They thought the transition of everything was really sloppy and acted as a spurt e of confusion.  Lighting was ‘SoSo’ there were certain times where it made sense for the dim lighting and other times where it didn’t. And as for acting, they’re not expecting  us to be good so that wasn’t really the issue, just that there were times where we were supposed uphold a role and we didn’t do it looked wrong. (Ei: smiling when we’re supposed to be scared or serious) When it came to Pros the idea was clear and there were many different angles that made sense. Our editing was said to be progressive  from when we first started to that’s a plus. Overall there’s a bit of things we still need to work on.
