Beginning Editing

-

 

I have just begun my editing process for my final task. I was a bit concerned about what program I will use for this. I decided I would simply use InShot, which I used for my music video. It is a very helpful software and is easy to use. The first thing I had to do was gather all of the footage I had. Thankfully, I had all of the clips saved in one place on my phone. I selected all of the ones I needed and transferred them to the app. Next, I noticed the clips were out of order. I needed to rearrange them so that they fit the flow of the story. This was another easy part of the process. All I had to do was look for the scenes and put them in the place they needed to be in for the sequence. The only challenge was trying to make the time match. I needed to make sure it added up to a time of 2 minutes exactly. I had to extend/slow down some shots to do this. Some shots I had to do this to were the establishing shot and the ones of me typing. In the end, I was able to get the timing right. This is all I have done so far. I am excited to continue editing and get closer to being finished.

  In this blog, I am going to be discussing my group for the upcoming Media Studies commercial project. At the moment, I have not decided who I will be working with, as I feel I still need another day to find someone. I am sure, though, that I would like to work with a group on this project. Normally, I am an independent person and prefer to work alone. Working alone can make a task like this easier in some ways. However, I find that working all by myself on this commercial will be highly challenging. I would not be able to record it all by myself, and it would be very difficult to try and find another person to be an actor for my video. It would make more sense and be simpler to have a group of multiple people who can help put this project together. It would also be much less strenuous to find someone to be a recorder, actor, and editor. I would prefer around 3 or 4 people to complete this commercial with. I also hope to find good partners to work with. I want to work with someone who

Editing - The Finishing Touches

This was the day that I finally added in the last things I needed for the editing stage. There wasn't much left to do, since I already did most of the editing on Saturday. The first thing I needed to do was add text at the beginning of the video. This is the opening text that displays the song title and my name. I made sure the color matched the aquamarine color of the text at the very end of the video. Also, I had to adjust the transition speed so that the title and my name faded in and out at the same duration. Once I had gotten this step right, I moved on to a couple of final things. Firstly, I looked at the second scene in the video. This was the scene in which I am in the bathroom getting ready in the mirror. The scene was okay, but I thought it could look better with a unique filter on it. I added a cool pink filter to enhance the look, and to create more excitement as I prepare to go outside by the pool. Additionally, I went over to the final two clips and realized the sound

Title Research: Land of the Lost

  From: Watch the Titles The title of the film is displayed in the first seconds of the opening sequence. After this, there are credits displaying the names of the actors in the film, and the people who helped work on it. This includes producers, directors, and designers. This title sequences prioritized many different images. These are images of scenes within the film, such as the aliens, the T-rex chase, and the deserted wasteland. They are shown in a silhouette/cartoonish fashion. These images carry an adventurous connotation. However, they are highly dramatized, which creates a more lighthearted and comical feel. The film's tone is established from the outset. The music, imagery, and design of the words and logo make the tone a mix of adventure and comedy, which is what the overall film is. This title sequence helps the film appeal to its target audience. This is mainly teens and adults. It does this through its use of fascinating yet comedic imagery and adventurous music. This
