Editing Blog 2

Once all the videos were put into iMovie, I put them in order. This took me a couple minutes to do since we were dealing with 10 videos. I also had to redo the process multiple times because I couldn't identify the clips by their thumbnails which caused the order to be scrambled. After I finished with the order I made transitions between the clips. This was mostly easy because iMovie had preset sections for them. In the end I went with transitions called dissolve. By the time I was done with this my partner had already picked out an audio to go with our film. Surprisingly, the audio fit really well with our film. We only needed to adjust a couple video's times before it was aligned completely. We then spent some time figuring out how to adjust the volume on film and audio. We decided to just mute the film and only get sound from the audio. After completely implementing the audio we proceeded to try filters. We were looking for a filter that might make things more visible. We then tried all the filters. After we decided not to use a filter because none of them gave us the effect we were looking for. We were thinking about using sound effects on top of the audio but ultimately rejected the idea because the ones we looked at didn't work well with the film and audio. Now that we were close to finishing we just needed to finalize the film entirely. I cut down the time on about 5 or 6 of the videos to accommodate the time requirement we had. In all I cut off about 13 seconds. This put us at 30 seconds which was exactly what we needed. At this point my group was completely done with editing. The only thing left to do is to finalize the project completely.

Filming in the House

Image
My group first met at my house. I had made sure to previously move the things I didn't want in the background out of the room I planned on filming in. My group got situated  in the room which is by my front door. Though, I had some immediate concerns. This room has windows so there is a little bit of natural light that is shinning through. Though there isn't enough to light up the whole room. This was a little problematic because the only other option was to turn on the room lights. The room lights were making the shots look a little yellow in the clips my group recorded. However, after my group spent some time trying to adjust both the light dimness  and the curtains, my group was able to find lighting that would work with the camera my group was using. Since the camera on my partners iPhone is somewhat high quality, my group decided to film with my partners phone. To make sure the shots looked as good as possible, my group shot the clips in 4k with the iPhone. In order to ma...

Storyboard Blog: Music Video

Scene 1: This scene begins with extreme close-ups on the actor's eyes and facial expressions and shifts between the two. There will not be much background definition, and it will last for three to five seconds. Scene 2: This scene will consist primarily of a wide shot of the actor walking down a railroad, and will pan to follow the actor as they curve further along the track. It will last several seconds longer than the last. Scene 3: This scene will begin with a low angle shot and will move further up the actor's profile until the focus is on the sun. This scene will be roughly as long as the one preceding it, and will be filmed fairly far away. Scene 4: This scene will be a still shot of the actor sitting on a curb and will be flashed very quickly (~2-3 seconds) to serve as a placeholder between two more dynamic scenes. Scene 5: This scene will return to the shot of the sun before the still was shown, and the sun will subtly fade into a shot of a lit street lamp, with the ...

Intro: Music Video

  Hi, my name is Jack Strien. I'm 15 years old and in the tenth grade. I go to Fort Lauderdale High School and take AICE Media Studies in my 3rd hour class. I initially wanted to take the course so I could learn more about analyzing and understanding the things I see in media related content. I have watched and still do watch a lot of tv shows and movies. I think because of this I started to develop an interest in what happens behind the scenes. When my older sister went to high school she took a class for photography. Sometimes when she was doing assignments I would see what she was doing. I always thought it was cool how she was taking pictures from different angles. Though I do know AICE Media Studies will be hard at times I'm still excited to learn about it. I would like to establish at least a basic understanding of the different aspects of this class. Learning about camera angles and editing are the aspects I'm looking forward to the most. I don't have any experie...
