Youtube = Lifesaver

-

Using YouTube videos as a resource to learn how to edit on iMovie was the best decision for both Amanda and I. YouTube is has a treasure of tutorials and guides on topics, including video editing software like iMovie. By using these online resources, I was able to access a lot of information and step-by-step instructions to your my needs and skill levels.

Watching YouTube tutorials allowed me to learn at my own pace and on my own schedule, providing a flexible and convenient way to get new editing techniques and skills. When I needed guidance on basic editing functions or more advanced features, there were many tutorials available to address my specific questions and challenges. Also, learning from YouTube videos offered a hands-on and visual approach to mastering iMovie. Instead of relying solely on written guides or manuals, I was able to follow along with real-time demonstrations and examples, which can be particularly helpful when learning a software like iMovie.

Overall, utilizing YouTube videos as a learning tool enabled Amanda and I to gain the necessary skills and confidence to effectively edit our opener. By using the online tutorials, I was able to overcome any initial learning curves and produce a high-quality opener that showcases our creativity and storytelling abilities.

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...
