First Edits of the Music Video

 To start the editing phase of our project we combined all of the scenes in one folder. Then we sorted them out the scenes equally and talked to each other about what platform we were going to use. We decided we were going to use shotcut since one of my groupmates Andy had used it before and he said it was a good software. So I first started off with the scene of me sliding down the slide. The first thing I added was smooth background music which we all decided on using to bring the video together better. Then I waited until Andy was done editing the scene after and I combined the two so that they would look good and it wouldn't be just a boring cut from one scene to another. The second scene I edited was the scene of me walking in the front door and waving. I added the background music again and I also added the sound of a knock so it was like I knocked on the door. Then max sent me his scenes and I then combined them to make it smooth just like I did with Andy's scenes. The next scene I edited was the scene of me looking out of a Ferris wheel. First I added the background music again. Then I looked online for a gif of a moving Ferris wheel. Then I cropped myself out of the video I recorded and pasted it on the Ferris wheel gif. Then a little bit of photoshop later and it was starting to look like I was actually on the Ferris wheel. Once I finished the photoshop I redownloaded the video files and made a new folder to keep all the files until we were done editing all of them. We decided that we were going to finish editing them first and then combine them all later. But then I ran into a problem. One of the scenes I edited wasn't very smooth so I deleted it and re-edited it. The second time around it turned out to be smoother. Well that's all for today. See you next time.

Genre Research - Action

 The common camera angles in action:  Long shot: Artificially shortens the distance between two characters, tricking the viewer into thinking that the characters actually punch each other but the angle just makes it look like that. Wide shot: Used to establish the main characters in the movie but not the area surrounding them.  Low angle: Used to show how intimidating the villain is and how they are above all.  High angle: Used to show when the main hero is in a tough situation and losing, usually fights or big battles.  Establishing shot: Used to show the main area where the heroes/hero battles it out.  Common Costumes, Props, Setting, and Make-up:  Costume: The costumes in action films are what truly establish the character, some people don't even know the characters face but as soon as they see the suit/costume they immediately recognize them.  Props: Props are important in action films, whether it range from Thor's Hammer to Batman's Bata-rang...

Genre Research - Thriller

 Common Camera Angles: High Angle: These shots are used in thriller films to give the effect that whatever is being looked down on appears to look powerless and vulnerable.  Tracking/panning: Used to make it look like one of the characters is being followed or being watched. It also helps the audience to have a full view of the scene and what is happening.  Tilting Angle: These add dramatic tension to the scene, and sometimes signify a supernatural being pushing or moving the camera.  Low Angle: These are often used in thrillers to emphasize how powerful and intimidating a villain is. This can also make the audience feel weak and insignificant. Zoom: This gives a dramatic effect and helps to create suspense and fear of not knowing what's going to happen next. Its mostly used in these types of films see something you would have missed before zooming in.  Common Mis-En-Scene:  Setting: Dark areas to present a freaked-out feeling to the viewer. They also use s...
