The First Edits

The scenes we edited first were scenes 1-20. We edited these first because these were the first ones we filmed on the days before. I'm using an editing software called shotcut, its really good and surprisingly free. Anyway lets get back to the important stuff. I sent all the film I took on my phone and emailed it to myself. On my pc I opened Gmail and downloaded the video clips. I uploaded them into shot cut and got to work. We were going for a nostalgic effect with this music video so I looked for a grainy filter. There were lots to try from and I found the one I liked. I applied it to the video and voila, magic. Already everything was building up in my head on how to perfect this music video. I cut the clips with parts that were unneeded and and a little bit of a blur when doing the transitions between clips so it looked as if everything was filmed in one shot. I was very proud of my editing and couldn't wait to show my teammates. Here's where the real problem occurred. I couldn't get the edit to export onto my computer. I tried different methods but nothing worked. I saved my edit and restarted my computer and still nothing worked. To this moment while I'm writing this blog nothing has worked hopefully it will change. Overall not including the export problem I have had a good day of filming. Signing off for tonight, see ya later.

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...
