Production: Getting Ready to Film Again

 Today we did not get to start filming again. However, we chose our next filming date. We also began preparing to get ready to film. We are going to shoot at a different park this time by Alex's grandparents house.

    The park by Alex's house has one specific area which we need to film. However, it will not look weird if we were to change locations. We are going to make sure of this by filming the shot from an angle where you cannot see the rest of the park. Which will hopefully seclude the shot and make it looks like the same location.

Since we are not going to be able to film today. I decided to research some editing. For my job I need to find out how to fix the title on to the screen so that they blend in the way we want. I started out researching the Divinchi Resolve software that I decided to use. I first grabbed a sample text that I could imagine was my one of my titles. Then I used some footage from our earlier filming and implanted the text on top of the scenes. I found the area where little to no action was happening and put the title there. I then started messing around with font colors to see if having the text blend in our stand out would be best. I figured out that blending the text in would probably be best and went with that for a bit. I tested the text out on a few other scenes before I took a break for a few hours. After coming back I just basically messed around for another hour editing then saved my progress for another day.20 best video editing apps for 2018 - Agile CRM Blog

Pitching Some Ideas!

Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.”      We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen.  Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”      We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's h...

Production: Fixing it up!

Image
    Today my partners and I wanted to make changes to the editing based off of our film review. So we joined a discord call right after school and started saying what each of the people we reviewed said.     Christians' parents said that the scenes could have looked more professional and less like we were messing around filming. Since we are only editing today I can't fix that so I left it till later. His parents also said that we should make the film brighter as details like the costume and landscape were hard to see. So I quickly fixed it by making it brighter so everything could be seen well.     Alexs' sister told him that the camera work could have looked smoother and that there was some shakiness seen when she watched it. We know that this would be a problem. So we want to re-film those few scenes as soon as possible.     I then told my groupmates what my sister and mom said about the film. My sister said that the effects looked weird and sh...

Editing Blog: Continuing the pro

     As I opened up Davinci Resolve, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension wash over me. I knew that we had a lot of work to do on our short film and that the editing process could be a challenging and time-consuming one. But as I located our project file and began sorting through the footage, I became increasingly immersed in the story we were trying to tell.      However, as I worked my way through the different shots and scenes, I quickly realized that some of them needed to be stronger. In particular, I noticed that some of the shots needed proper lighting, which made it challenging to capture the intended mood and atmosphere. This realization made me appreciate the importance of lighting in filmmaking, as it can truly make or break a scene.      Because of this, I had to spend a lot of extra time editing those particular shots to try and enhance the lighting and create a more compelling visual experience for the audience. I exp...
