Classmates Blog Commentary

-

             In today's blog, I will be talking about my thoughts and comments of two of my classmates' shots and angles. For the first one, it will be Julian's shot and angles. Overall, I enjoyed watching each one of them since you notice the taught that was put to each one. One I really liked was the two-shot, it transmits happiness through the video, the way the camera is angled and focused shows the true reaction to the book they are reading. The second which I think he could've improved was the mid-shot, the way the camera is positioned is more of a full body shot, since he shows from the top of his head to his shoes. Another one I really liked was the over the shoulder shot, I enjoyed watching it since the characters were happy and it evokes emotion when one of them did not win in rock, paper, scissors, overall, there were all nice videos to watch. The second one will be Leon's shot and angles. One I really like is the low angle shot, the way the camera is positioned shows right away the angle it is and the character in the video did a good job showing it also. Another one I enjoyed was the Dutch shot, I liked the emotion the character showed while making the discovery, it makes me wonder what he discovered. The last one is the master shot, I like how the talking between the group looks natural between friends not like they are doing it for a video. Overall, watching all the videos of both my classmates were fun to see what they created individually.

Peer Reviews of First Cut Movie Opener

GROUP 1- (Two Peas in a Pod) 1.  What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like? -One of the first technical elements that stood out to me was the zoom-in at the end of the conversation they were having. During this scene, there is a wide shot happening showing three friends sitting at a table, with two of them chatting and leaving the third one out, later zooming in on his face. The zoom-in captures the emotion and highlighted how lonely and left out he felt in his group. Another element that caught my eye was the tracking shot of the lonely friend as he goes around telling each person something different. With this shot I was able to follow the story and figure out what was happening. 2.  What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike? - An element in the film opening that I dislike was at the beginning of it where they show the front of the school for their establishing shot. I feel like this could have been left out and did not need...

 Today in class we continued on our editing process and gathering all recordings into the editing app. We have all elements completed except for what is going to be playing throughout the video, but we do have a voiceover being edited by Kristian which we are going to be putting plus the soundtrack made by him. In the picture to the left, you can see me recording the voiceover we are going to put on the film.  In the picture to the right, you can see Kristian recording John for our opening sequence from a low angle while he is walking, you can also see the attire he is wearing which is business. In the picture below is another picture of Kristian recording in another location trying to get the best angles.  In the picture above is the screen of what our editing looks like. Our editor in the group is Kristian, in the picture he was currently trying to change the lighting of the scene trying to make it darker. As of sound, the sequence has none yet, but he is working on edi...

Editing 1

Today in class we discussed our journey of the editing process and what we have so far. Our editor in the group is Kristian Bowers, although we are not finish with the whole filming, he has started editing what we have so far.    We have decided on 'playfair display' as for the font of the title since it goes best with the professional look of the film. As for color, we decided on dark colors like black and marron to symbolize the suspense, blood, and violence that is to come. We also plan on adding a dark tint effect to the film to illustrate the suspense. We have not yet added special transitions to the film, but we have added diegetic sound effects like footsteps and a gunshot. We also will be editing music in the background which was made by Kristian himself. A problem he encountered editing was fixing the steadiness of the recording, but we will be able to fix it.
