Reviewing My Opening Sequence

 After I had reshot and reedited my film, I decided to show someone my opening sequence. I needed an outsiders viewpoint of the opening sequence to see what needed to be fixed. I sent my opening sequence to a friend for them to critique. They watched the opening sequence multiple times to see what needed to be fixed within the editing, or film. A couple of things needed to be fixed within the editing of the video. First thing that needed to be fixed were that some clips were louder than others. Another thing that needed to be fixed was that the music playing in the background of some scenes, was not loud enough. Also sometimes the audio would cut in and out. Also there was a point where the titles were going too fast and they couldn't read them. Just overall the sound quality wasn't good in some parts of the film. Thus to solve these problems I started to fix them. I first started working on the volume of some clips to try to make them as even as possible. Fixing the audio took a long time because I had to try to match the audio of every clip together. Since I fixed the audio of every clip in my film, I had to work on the music playing in the background. This made me have to make some clips lower than others in the film so that people could hear the music. The audio cutting in and out was due to the fact that I initially lowered some of the clips audio too low. The audio cutting out was fixed when I was fixing the audio to make it even with the clips. I made the titles go slower so that they could read them when watching the film. After I fixed everything in my film, I sent the film back to them to watch again. They said that they didn't have any critiques after that.

Planning to Film: Items Needed

Image
 I decided not to film this weekend due to the fact that I didn't have all the items needed. In a previous blog I mentioned all of the items I needed to film. The past weekend I decided to dedicate it to making a list and buying everything I needed for the film. If I didn't dedicate this weekend to buying all of the materials I needed, I would not be able to film. I would rather film fully prepared with everything I need before hand, than start filming and not have anything. Without all of the proper items needed to film, this film would not be complete and would overall take longer. This weekend I looked around my house to see what I had, and what I could use as props for my film. I looked all around my house since I would like to use items I already had instead of going out and buying items that are unneeded. I found some items that could be used within the film, in my house, thus bringing down the cost. However, I couldn't find all of the items I needed for the film. Sin...

Planning to Film

Image
 I can not film during the week due to school and other obligations I have. Instead of not being proactive about filming, I decided that I am going to see what I need to do before I film. I looked at what props I would need for the film, and seeing what I would need to do to attain that. I decided that I will probably need some rope for my final task, so I have to see how much it costs, and where to buy it. I also must decide when I am going to go out and buy the rope with my parents since I don't have a car. I also must decide who I want to act in the film and who they are going to play. After I decide who I want to be in the film, and who they are going to play, I have to contact them. I plan to start filming and having everything I need by next weekend, so that gives me a lot of time to plan. I also plan to film throughout spring break since I will be able to film during the week since we will not have school. I also must start thinking about how much this project may cost with ...

Genre Research: Action

 I conducted research this year on the action genre of movies where I discussed the different aspects of the genre of action movies. I made sure in the powerpoint to add different pictures and examples of each term I researched. I specifically used pictures from action movies to show how each term was used and to show action examples. I discussed the lighting in action movies, which typically tends to be low-key lighting, high-key lighting, and Rembrandt lighting. I used pictures from movies like "Fight Club" to show the use of this lighting in these movies. I discussed the camera angles in action movies, which tend to be establishing shots, ariel shots, close up shots, mid shots, and high angle shots. I used the establishing shot from the Harry Potter series to use has an example to show an example of an establishing shot. I discussed the movement that is used in action movies which are pans, zooms, reverse zooms, tilt, and crane shots. I discussed the mise-en-scene in actio...
