Editing my Toyota Commercial

 When I started editing, I used Clipchamp. First, I had to gather all of my scenes together. I didn't film all of the scenes in order so it took a little time to place them the way they were supposed to go. Then I cut out excess parts of the video that weren't needed and unnecessary. I muted the sounds from the clips I took except for when the engine was starting. Instead of a voice-over, I added words onto the screen to explain all of the features. most of the scenes didn't require any sound, but I went on youtube to get a sound for the car driving off into the distance. I wasn't able to use the actual sound because it was very windy on the day that I filmed that shot, so I had to cut out the sound. For the opening scene, I uploaded the video of the 360 views of the car onto removebg for the scene to just have the car and nothing else in the background. The website could only get rid of the background for 5 seconds, so I downloaded an app on my phone to speed up the video. Then I inserted it back into removemg to remove the background from the full clip. This worked out for me because the original clip was 25 seconds so I needed to shorten it anyway since the whole commercial needed to be 30 seconds. After placing everything in order, I added transitions between clips. I then went on youtube again to find a song to add to the background. After clipping unnecessary parts off of the video, the total length turned out to be around 45 seconds. I hadn't even added the closing scene with the slogan into the video yet. I decided to speed up some of the clips that seemed a bit longer than they needed to be like the door or the trunk of the car opening. Then I eventually cut out the clip of the car driving on the road because I felt that it wasn't as relevant as the other clips. It was also a significant length, so I just cut it out of the whole video. When the whole thing finally came down to around 25 seconds, I added the closing clip and that concluded the commercial editing.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to ...

Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers.  The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character.  The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plo...

Genre Research: Final Choice

  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s m...
