Sorting Through Footage

Now that my group is finished with filming, the clips have to be compiled. To do this my group will take all of the clips from each filming day and put them together. Since I had already sorted the first day of filming it was relatively easy to work with. What I did was move the clips into the editing software so they are ready to be edited. To do this I moved the files into the software and saved the project. The files were previously sorted into folders for easy access. When moving the files into the software, my main goal was  to get the clips put in order. To make sure this happened I had to keep looking at the videos and the storyboard to get an idea of which clip was which. This made the process a little longer. My group had originally thought I could sort the files in order in the folder but apparently I must have accidently move the clips around. With this out of the way I could start sorting the second days clips. In all, there was slightly more time recorded for the first days filming. However, this is alright because it gives me more material to work with when I start editing and shortening the clips. I again moved the clips into a folder. This time I made sure that the clips were placed in order so I wouldn't have to sort through them again. From here I started moving the files one my one into the editing software. The short films clips totaled in five minutes and twenty seven seconds worth of videos. Due to this there will definitely be some shortening of the clips. However, I still need to look through the clips and determine if any are unusable in the second days batch. After this is completed, I have to edit the short film and decide what soundtrack to use.

Filming in the House

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...
