Final Draft: Aftermath

    Final Draft:      After working on my film for a while now, I am immensely proud of how my final product turned out. With the editing choices I made, plot choices, and all the way down to which fonts I wanted to use for the text. Each and every aspect of my project was selected to be that way after careful thought and research, and I hope you enjoy watching my film and much as I enjoyed making it for you!       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6vpjO7zDBsm     

Post Production: Final Thoughts

Image
 Post Production Final 2/28/2021      After months of jotting down ideas, concepts, locations, and after months of shooting and editing i came up with a project I was incredibly proud of. I worked to the best of my abilities the first time around to perfect my film, despite the short duration. Leaving me to still be proud of my work even as it's a few months later.  Although the feedback from all my peers was tremendously helpful and inspiring, at the end of the day I didn't feel like the film needed the "extra scenes" or "different sound effects" that my peers previously suggested.      Going into the initial production of my project I envisioned something with a dark atmosphere all around. Both the lighting and sound quality, considering the genre of horror/ suspense i chose. Which I did my best to implement by my choice of camera angles and movements as well as the different pitches and background noises I included. For instance,...

Peer Review

 Peer Review       After sharing my final project with my peers I got super helpful feedback. As well as a lot of compliments! I appreciated everyones positive and critical comments considering they all helped me look at my film in different point of views, especially as the audience.      To start off one of my peers made a comment about the audio in one of the final scenes of my film. I realized that the audio was a bit busy, considering there was a bit of background noise so I made sure to tone that done in the timeline. As well as another student, who noticed another sound issue. She noted that there had seemed to be an overlapping of sound in the beginning of my film where I had a clock ticking noise playing in order to build suspense. It took be a bit to change what she was referring to because I personally couldn't hear it on my own but after playing with the soundtrack I believe I may have fixed the issue.  Two other st...

Production 7- Editing Process

Image
 Beginning The Editing Process 1/16/2021      Today I imported all of my footage so I can start editing. My idea is to start off the film with the B-roll shots I got and continue with the characters and dialogue scenes in the second half.  B - roll is  the extra footage captured to enrich the story i plan on telling and to have greater flexibility when editing. Instead of featuring only talking faces on video, having other images you  can  cut away to that  will  add dimension to whatever the desired plot/ story might be. And in my opinion I think B-roll is the absolute best way to do so.      This is my first time using Adobe in about a year so although i'm quite familiar with the program I spent a few hours researching and watching different youtube tutorials with the intent to freshen up my brain on all the different tools and aspects the software has to offer.      With the plot change I made the wh...
