Editing

-

In our AICE Media Studies project, we're utilizing iMovie as our primary video editing software. iMovie offers a user-friendly interface, making it accessible for both inexperienced and experienced editors. However, it's crucial to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of iMovie in our editing process.

Regarding video effects, iMovie provides a range of effects that can enhance the visual of our film opener. These effects include filters, color adjustments, and overlays, allowing us to enhance the mood and atmosphere. We may experiment with these effects to find the ones that best complement our theme and narrative.

For video transitions, iMovie offers a variety of options to smoothly transition between clips. These transitions include fades, dissolves, wipes, and slides, among others. By incorporating a diverse range of transitions, we can maintain visual interest and flow throughout the opener. Some specific transitions we might use include crossfade, fade to black, and slide from left/right.

During the editing process, we may encounter some challenges, such as limited customization options or the need to purchase additional transitions/effects. Additionally, iMovie's performance may vary depending on the complexity of our project or the specifications of our laptops. To solve these issues, we will explore workarounds within iMovie or consider alternative editing solutions if necessary. To solve problems encountered during editing, we may need to think creatively and find alternative methods to achieve our desired results. This might involve combining multiple editing techniques within iMovie and using external resources. 

In terms of editing responsibilities, Amanda, my film partner, is primarily responsible for the editing. However, we'll collaborate closely throughout the process to ensure that our opener . This collaborative approach allows us to help each other's strengths and expertise while producing a film opener for our  project.

Storyboard!

Hello Everyone! Today I will talk about storyboarding!  Storyboarding is a tool in the world of visual storytelling, acting as a crucial blueprint that guides filmmakers, animators, and other creative minds in bringing their narratives to life. Through my exploration of this art form, I've come to appreciate the balance between creativity and structure that storyboarding demands. Storyboarding is the process of visually planning a narrative, breaking it down into a sequence of individual shots or frames. This pre-visualization allows creators to map out the flow of a story, ensuring coherence and visual continuity. What I find most compelling about storyboarding is its ability to serve as a visual script, showing a preview of the final product before production begins. This early visualization not only aids in communication among the creative team but also acts as a reference point to maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and overall narrative coherence. However, despite its numero...

Camera Shots and Angles

Hello again! In this blog post I will be showing five clips of different camera shots and angles. I used five different ones to show a variety of emotion, setting, and stories. Since I am still practicing they may not be perfect BUT that is more than okay! With practice comes perfection :) Enjoy the clips!  In this clip, I was trying to achieve a close-up shot to show the emotion in the eyes.  With this clip, I used an establishing shot. The purpose of this was to show where my setting is and how it looks like. Also, how it affects the other clips and provides a portion of the time it was shot.  In this clip, I used a high angle shot to establish what the actor was doing and for the watcher to get an idea of what might come next.  I used a point of view shot (POV) to show the actors viewpoint of an action they were doing.  I used a dutch angle shot to portray disorientation that the actor is going through.

Movie Analysis

Hello everyone! I was watching my favorite show "Friends" and decided to analyze an episode called "The one with all the thanksgivings" if you have not seen the show yet, I highly recommend you do! I put five screenshots of scenes from the episode and analyzed the different angles and camera shots.  This is a medium shot and a two shot. In this scene, Chandler and Ross are washing the dishes and discussing what they will be doing after thanksgiving dinner. This scene affects the story because Chandler makes a rude comment about Monica that leads to the climax of the episode. It also shows their body language and can tell they have been friends for a long time. They also look relaxed and comfortable with one another. By the look of their outfits, you can infer the time period is in the 80's and they are at an older person's house (Ross's mom).  This is a mid over-the-shoulder shot. This scene is showing Monica trying to seduce Chandler a year after he cal...
