Introduction to Me

     Hello blog readers, my name is Jorge Lopez, and I am in 11th grade. This is going to be my first blog at A-level, and I would like to start the year on a good note. Some skills that I have been working on are editing skills. I also know how to direct very well and bring up new creative ideas.

    If you would like to get to know me. I often work out and love being physically fit. I play sports such as tennis, wrestling, and football. I also play video games in my free time, but I rarely get to play due to the amount of homework I get. However, I am grateful for the opportunity to excel in my academics. I also use my computer to connect with friends long distance with discord. This is how I often communicate with friends in other states I knew when I was younger.

    Due to my usual use of computers, I know a thing or two about IT. I know how to work my way around technology and hope that this is one way I can help my group succeed in creating this project. Last year I was also the main editor for our project and did most of the editing for our film.

    I also play billiards, which I love to play (usually against my dad). I also play racquetball as well at my gym against my dad and friends often. I also love to learn new things, which is why I like these niche sports and activities. That is also why I have so much fun in this class and enjoy making films with other people.

    Anyways I hope that this year will be just as fun as last year. I also expect to learn something new, just like last year. Thank you for reading, and I hope that you will tune in next time.

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

Image
     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...
