Production blog -Editing problems

 On 10/12/2022 I started editing my 30 second commercial. As I began to edit I ran into a few problems. My first problem was that the filmer got their finger in one of the important clips I needed. With the editing software I am using I could not crop the clip to get the finger out of the scene. I found a solution to this by changing this scene and all the scenes before it to black and white. My thought was that I could make all the scenes that occur before the ball rolls into the cup black and white. When the ball then did roll into the cup it could change back to normal color. I would also correlate this with a beat drop in a song. One other problem I found is that my final clip was filmed upside down. This clip or scene is the one with the golf ball sitting in the cup facing up with the logo showing. The logo showing makes it important that it is right side up. After filming I reverted the problem in the photos app on my phone. Although when I added this scene to the editing software it went back to its original state where it was upside down. I do not know how to solve this problem. My only solution in my opinion is to use a new editing software. The only way I would not have to is to find a way to fix this issue. I have put all my clips together this is just my last part to do. I would hate to have to restart the whole editing process. If that is what I will have to do though to complete my video I will have to accept that. My video did turn out nice otherwise and it is the perfect length of 29.6 seconds.

First Takes

 Hello again!!! Today is Monday and I am back for the first production blog of this project and I am very excited that I have completed my filming of the opening scene. This scene has begun by setting the tone for the horror film which will unfold scene by scene. With each passing day my momentum of filming gains traction and I am starting to get into a groove. With my opening scene I filmed it in my girlfriends room and played with lighting and other factors. I did not want it to be too bright as that would give too much of an energetic vibe and that is not the tone of the film at all. Instead of turning on the celing lights I used a lamp as it was moodier and not as in your face. Another tactic that I used was to add props to give a further meaning to the character in the film. My girlfriend has done an amazing job being the actor so far and I really enjoy being the filmer. I am using my iPhone in cinematic mode because the quality is very good and it is shot in 4k resolution. I ...

Closing Time...

 Hello again, today is March 9th, and I am almost at the end of this project. My movie has really shaped up since the last blog which was my start to the editing process. I got some input from some fellow students and how their productions have turned out. And mine may not be the best but I am still happy with how it has turned out. This production from start to finish took over a month because Junior year has been really hard and I have been trying to juggle SAT and ACT prep while keeping up with my grades and all my other work / tests. It gets very busy. For this project, just like all my other productions, I used my iPhone to film. Using an iPhone is just so simple and easy. It has an integrated camera that shoots in 4k quality and to edit all I have to do is select the clips and transfer them. It is extremely simple and the most convenient way to do this. I have covered a lot of content regarding this production. Coming up I have many exams as the semester is concluding which p...

Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection ^link^ Critical Reflection Kevin Ricks 1304 words How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film has three characters. The characterisation in the short film is not limited, the names of the characters are known to the audience but not too deep into depths. My short film does briefly illustrate the problems faced by the main character. The main obstacle the character faces is to escape being kidnapped while on vacation in a foreign place that is unfamiliar. At its core, the abduction of a child evokes universal fears and concerns shared across communities worldwide. It boldly highlights the vulnerabilities individuals, especially children, face when navigating unfamiliar environments, emphasizing the importance of safety precautions and vigilance. The incident in my short film prompts discussions on the responsibilities of travel not traveling alone and the help of  local authorities in ensuring the security of tourists, shedding light on ...
