Editing for my Music Video

As soon as I finished filminto edit my scenes on Friday the 4th of December, i started editing my clips. Since i started the videos a few seconds before the scene actually began, i had to cut off the excess clips of the video. I tried to cut off the sound of each video before uploading it into the editing site, but when I uploaded them, the sound would just come back. So I decided to move on with other edits I wanted to make before I added the clips to clipchap. I wanted to make the scenes black and white because the song is reflecting on the persons life almost. i just used a filter on my phone to make all of the scenes black and white. 
As i was snipping some clips i noticed that some of the scenes wrent really the best. So i decided to re film them. For example, I noticed that the scenes that included the parents were included was shot a little far. The position of the camera was too far from where the people were. Howeer, when i moved closer, the camera didn't capture the entire view I wanted it to. In the end, i decided to stand on something to get a bit of a higher angle while at a closer position. This way, it could capture a little more of the scene i was going for.
I thought that i would have to go to the store to get more printer ink since my printer was running low. Then i remembered that the scenes would be in black and white. Another thing i was worried about also had to do with the parents scenes. I kept forgetting which one came first between the mother and the father in the song. So i had to listen to it over and over until i realized that one person would be playing both the mother and the father anyways. 
After making sure all my scenes were cut in the right places and in the right order, I then added them to clipchamp. I had to upload the song onto clipchamp and line up the scenes to the parts of the song. There were some clips that still went on even after their part of the song passed. So I either decided to speed the clips up or snip them to be shorter to match the length. There weren't really any scenes that were too short. If they were, the transitions filled in the space for them. Since I made sure all the scenes fit into the parts of the song they belonged in, the video ended up being just the right length.

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 plot. The sc

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 meant
