The editing commences!

Hi everyone, we finally finished our two days of filming and are ready to begin editing. Our designated editor is Mia Obraitis, so she will be editing the film with the help of our input and opinions. We will be using iMovie because it has worked well for us in previous projects. Since Mia is a new member, we all are getting used to how she does her work and what her preferences are in editing. iMovie has always been easy to understand which helps us contribute during the editing process. Everyone was excited to give their input because we felt our creativity flow a lot during the filming process. We decided as a group to split the editing into two days so we can pay attention to detail and produce the best quality film. A big issue we will tackle the next time we edit is the music we choose for the film. Everyone picked their own music so we have to evaluate our choices and see what the best fit for the film will be. Our priority was to focus on what footage to cut so we could compile the good footage. All of the footage was taken on my phone, and we had over 70 videos to sift through and airdrop to her computer. This was a lengthy process because we had to upload the videos in chronological order so it would be easier for Mia to edit. I helped Mia by cutting down the footage and editing them all to the same size so the clips look cleaner. We kept our concept in mind and placed the footage in an order that created an ominous effect that intrigues readers. We had to make sure the shots complemented each other because it helped the film flow and look professional. Cutting the dialogue during the filming process was a great idea that ended up making things look better and it also made things easier to follow for viewers. We wanted to keep things simple and not have too much going on at once during the film so our viewers could stay engaged. As we were editing we realized our storyboard and film were basically identical which was something everyone was proud of. We finished editing for the day and will wrap things up on our second day of editing. Overall we had a productive day and are one step closer to the finished product!

          Hello everyone, I am proud to announce that my commercial is officially complete! This has been such an amazing learning experience and I am so excited to share the final product. This project has helped me enhance a series of skills I did not think I needed to sharpen such as my creativity, flexibility, and communication skills. Throughout the entire process of creating this commercial, I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently. At times, all of the work that had to be done felt overwhelming but my team encouraged me and kept me motivated. I am grateful to my amazing group for helping me every step of the way and maintaining clear communication with each other. It was really cool to be able to witness the production process up close because it made me aware of small details that appear in the final product. I feel that the commercial came out really well because of our attention to detail and perfectionist tendencies. I feel that I can de...

Our Pitch Blog

A girl is one of few to survive the zombie apocalypse. She runs into another non-infected human and they have to get through together. Our first pitch is unique from the commonly chosen ideas. It would help in showing off creativity and originality. While also providing a well-thought-out and evolved finished project. Although the mis-en-scene would be difficult to accomplish for any of the scenes. Zombie make-up and attire would have to research, bought, and learned. Plus the fact that none of us leave in an area that would suit this project whether that be a woods or generally dark area. It emphasizes the idea that this girl is one of the few, which would force us to need backup actors to play the zombies. Not only would we have to find multiple actors for only a few scenes, but we would also have to work around their schedule and pay extra supplies for their make-up and costume. A girl has been living her day-to-day alone, or so she thinks. Our second pitch is about from stalker...

Film Review

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story....
