Editing: Title and Transitions

 Hey y'all! Back again. Now that we have the final task filmed we can start editing! Since I edited the footage for the music video I taught my group how to do most of my techniques! Today we are going to do the title and transitions. We decided to dedicate most of the time to editing because we wanted to make the film as scary as possible. I chose to edit on my Phone because it is where I am most comfortable doing it. I again used iMovie to edit because that's where I am the most experienced in and what I did for the music video. Firstly, I trimmed the clips and scenes. This was the easiest part because it is very simple and I can apply to each scene by using just my finger. After finishing trimming I applied the transitions. This took a bit of time because I liked testing each transition and seeing what flowed smoothly. For the title, I did the green screen effect. Basically, I took the fonts and applied them to a green screen background so they would apply to the video throughout. I also applied the credits. I decided that that was the editing I was going to do for the day. I also taught my group members how to do it so they would understand as well. Today was a basic editing day, but I'm super excited to do the rest! It is a group effort so we are all in it together! See you guys soon for part 2 of editing!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Answer:       This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

 Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
