Editing Post 1 Blog Post

During edited we used mainly jump-cuts to transition, everything was meant to flow in a rushed way which came out as desired for the project. Se also included a fade out and i was told by our editor that we also included a dissolve. There are no specific or exact effects we used much besides that was in the video and created for it. One major issue during editing was getting everything to flow smoothly with the audio, i was told that we needed to edit the audio various times and i myself heard in our trial era that it was not working as planned or desired. We solved this by sticking to the plan and continuing on though, persevering throughout the struggle and after many problems faced with the computer/file we successfully got it how we desired, with only a slight pixelated effect on the last scenes with actually help within setting the mood of our film, the only final scenario though is while everything was perfect, it was not. The film seems to be very unserious and more of a comedy ...

Creative Critical Reflection Post

  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?   The movie is themed as a mystery horror, the stereotypical black wearing killer was not seen in ours or that it was someone of a less fortunate backstory. We also kept stereotypes within our film by the killer being unmasked, but also combated this by the killer being shown and present in the first scene rather than later introduced. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?   It is meant to attract and hold medias focus with its mystery aspect part of it, every individual who i have spoken to about this film has mentioned that it is unsolved and that they are curious about it and don't understand, leeching for more information to be provided. The wow aspect for our film is generally meant to be the solving of this crime as everything unfolds, in what we filmed it does not included that wow factor as much as it d...

Finished Project Feelings Blog Post

I feel dissatisfied with my final opener, I feel if my team members actually pulled their weight and participated that we would of successfully made things correctly up to vision rather than speak about helping then pressure me last minute to complete the entirety of the project. Some issues were filming, it was actually a major issue. I was the only one willing to buy and CORRECTLY use props, I also was the Foley stage for the extra sounds, I also filmed all scenes but 1-2 which had to be modified to make the already easiest scenes easier, and I had to participate in parts of the project that were not my expertise and or my job to do as agreed. I feel like if I had partners who were as dedicated as me we would have had a project that was outstandingly perfect. I learned that if you want things done to do them yourself and to not wait on words, I'm also learned how to correctly modify props and make them fit my view and how to negotiate with actors onto what they would like to do a...

Lighting Blog Post

Lighting is a huge detrimental part within our film opener, we have carefully chosen every scene to the nitty gritty and we or at least I, have been so extremely strict in what I have been allowing and not allowing in our film. The meaning and feel it is supposed to give off its more of a boring or mysterious effect depending on the dedication of the viewer watching the film opener. In some scenes light will be plenty while others not nearly so much. The first scene is plentiful with light with the rooms light on keeping everything nice and illuminated, while in other scenes we will only be using the suns lighting and or adjusting room lighting to be dimmer, one or two scenes being almost absent of light within it. Lights will likely also be edited in post-production as well during editing, TO make them dimmer to add to the mysterious effect shown in the film.

Color Use Blog Post

The proper use of colour is very influential within our project. We will be focusing on more Mondaine gloomy bleak colours. We will be focusing the most on using greys and blacks and whites to symbolize more of a normative and also give a sense of uneasiness. the White shirt will be showing purity and trust worthiness, while our character is quite the opposite, one could say a wolf in sheep's clothing. Other colours that are exclusively seen within the film are reds to show darker meaning and give another sense of uneasiness, the pop tarts and fake blood being our most current prime examples. Colour in our films meant to be as gloom and boring as it appears, it is to give our character a deceitful feel and make the watcher edge their seat or simply fall asleep with our opener not being for every eye.
