Production Blog

 March 29th

    Today's focus was on editing the footage I've taken so far since the beginning of this project. Although I am disappointed to say that my filming won't be done before march ends. I did meet up with my filming crew on two different dates throughout spring break. However, those sessions were mostly comprised of brain storming potential scenes, edits, and title ideas. If this experience has taught me anything procrastination isn't worth the future hassle in the end. Now I have to wrap up my film sometime after my upcoming track meets to avoid any distractions. The only topics I've covered today consisted title cards and effects. Rather than use the two fonts I intended to use in my title cards I changed the fonts. Graphik Compact for the main title. Academy Engraved LET for the studio and production company. And comic script for the actors in the opening scene. The more I add title cards, the more my project begins to look like a real life film. This conventions serve their purpose greatly. Moreover, for the Film title card I added a freeze frame to the scene to make the title of the film stand out. I also changed the color of the scene to a comic like theme to support the movie's pitch. Each actor's name is colored based on what they're wearing for creativity. All my cast members have the reviewed the film so far and enjoy the results of my work so far. hopefully, we will began filming again this weekend. Preferably Saturday since I have nothing planned at the time.

Editing Blog: 1 minute Dilemma

Image
 Ever since I finished filming, I couldn't wait to start editing my music video. Many ideas ran across my mind about how I should go about this process. Most of my focus was towards what edits can I possibly incorporate into my project that would make it entertaining. This consisted of transitions, filters, effects, and more. To start off, my first move was to position each scene in order to see what it would look like at it's base form. Upon further review I noticed that the video was about a minute and 25 seconds long. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to go that far beyond the time limit, but never the less, I had to fix this problem immediately before I could include anything else. So, after rewatching my video over and over again, I made small cuts throughout each scene. Majority of these cuts were shots that weren't meant to be included. However, other smaller shots were discarded from the project because they made the scene unnecessarily long. Soon enough, I bro...

 First scene- For the opening of my commercial, an athlete/actor will be dressed up in their track uniform. This will show the audience what team this commercial will be about. The actor will proceed to show off the jersey by tugging it from both sides. This should pop the logo in and out to attract the viewers attention. Also, the athlete will give a smug smile to the camera just to show how confident they're towards wearing the jersey. Second scene- The next scene will be another shot of a solo athlete in uniform while wearing medals. They will flex their biceps as a sign of showing their always winning. This will give the audience an idea of how talented Fort Lauderdale's track team really is. And to top it off, the actor will have a boastful expression on their face.  Third scene- The last solo shot will once again be an athlete in uniform. However, they will give a flying L sign towards the camera for representation. I also added a head nod for good measure.  Each of...

Title Research: Guardians of the Galaxy 2

artofthetitles.com 1) In the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opening scene all of  the main actors of the film are displayed first as chaos plays out. soon after the actors are mentioned, the executive producer, director, writers, and others who worked on the film are displayed throughout the scene. 2&3) We see all the guardians from the previous movie face off against an intergalactic monster to start off the movie. this displays that intense level of action the audience has been waiting for since the first release of guardians of the galaxy. weapons, explosions, and swords are all being used to the creature down but, the guardians are still getting handled in the process. this makes it all the more funny in the process. 4)      Baby Groot, mischievous and distracted in his own world, dances to music from Star-Lord’s second mixtape while the Guardians throw down in the background, out of focus. The focus on Groot instead of the main action is the first comedic thrust ...
