Editing blog

I shot my commercial in about 5 different takes. Each for its specific scene. I got all the clips ready and imported it into the program I was using which was adobe premiere. They were imported in the order that the commercial was going to go. The timing had to be set right since the clips were very short and only lasted a few seconds, 5 seconds the most. I made some clips longer than other due to how long they already lasted so it could all come together nicely. I also made some cuts to some scenes that needed to be cut or that I filmed badly, like some parts that I shouldn't have. I changed some clips to last about 4 more seconds. I then changed the color of the first two scenes/clips to black and white. Then I introduced my product into the video by placing the harness into the bunny. My commercial required a voiceover so I also recorded myself doing the voice over. Then I exported the audio into the editing area for each clip. For example, the part where the bunny is on the door, I said something like "the bunny is desperate to go outside." At first, the audio lasted way too long and did not match with the clips. I had to adjust the audio to the clips and speed them up a little bit. That was somewhat difficult because at first it it went too fast but I finally adjusted it. For which had to remake the audio recording and cut out some things I said because it extended too much. At the end, I added a happy music to the entire commercial. The reason for upbeat casual music was to bring out the positivity and happiness of the commercial.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
