Editing Process Part 2

 

                 Welcome back to my blog reader! To continue the editing process, I began editing the scene where Gabriela walks away from the stranger and decides to call Nancy. As I mentioned before, I am the voice of Nancy which I will do with a voiceover. I placed the videos for the scene in order, and I trimmed them. Then, I rehearsed how I was going to say my lines which as the scene goes on my voice gets more concern every time. I then completed the voiceover and added an effect that makes it sound like my voice is coming from the phone. I made sure that when Gabriela slowly drops her phone due to that she is extremely confused on what is happening, when I say the line “Hello? Hello?” my voice sounds like it is far. Further, the scenes where there is dialogue and take place in the mall such as the Gabriela looking for the place wondering where it is, stopping to check the location and deciding to ask assistance from a stranger, the interaction with the stranger, the decision to call Nancy, and her interaction with Nancy have poor audio quality. Due to that we were filming outside without microphones there were lots of factors that I could not control such there being a lot of wind and background noise. This led to the audio quality to not be as good as it could have been therefore, I have decided to have my actresses voiceover their part and attempt to match it. The actresses completed this task and when I tried to match the video with the voice, it was not what I was expecting. I was not pleased with the results as the voiceover doesn’t fit as perfect on a person as trying to match it to a phone such as Nancy’s part. I will keep it for now as it is the best it can be, and I will see how other individuals react to it when they review my short film, which will provide me with suggestions and possible ways that I could apply in order to resolve the issues that I have encountered such as this. Moving forward, I finished placing all the scenes in their rightful place and added their designated transition. For the very last image shown in the film, I added zooms to the opening door to increase the tension for the viewer and lead them to conclude that it might not have been a dream after all. This concludes the editing process which leads to this short film getting reviewed by some individuals in order to have a clear idea of what I need to adjust coming from the perspective of an audience member. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

          Welcome back to my blog reader ! After ta king in all the advice and comments that my close friends Jasmine and Jada provided me with regarding my sho rt fil m “Lucky” after they watched it. I have gathered all their suggestions and concerns and have taken them back with me to the editing room. Further, for the scene where Gabriela, the protagonist of the film, interacts with the stranger to ask where the event is located . There was poor quality audio for that scene as I filmed it at the mall therefore there was background noise as well as the sound of the wi nd. This scene is a crucial part of the film, thus I had to fi nd a solution to the problem. I asked the actress who plays Gabriela and the actress who plays the stranger to voiceover that scene in attempt to make it easier for the viewer to unde rstand the dialogue as it plays a vital role tha t in the story and leads to the suspenseful areas of the film.

Our Plan

Image
Welcome back to my blog reader! Here is our plan for the music video project! Props:   . Since we chose the song Material Girl, we plan to display a young girl living a lavish lifestyle. To portray this, we plan to use fake money, sunglasses, and a feather boa as our props.  Costumes:    . In our video, we will have one main subject, our material girl, with others playing supporting roles. For the material girl, they would be dressed up in long gloves, fake pearls, and a nice long dress, preferably pink. To fit the stereotype of a gold-digger, they would also wear a blonde wig, a feather boa, and expensive looking sunglasses. The actress would have on light makeup, with the most bold part being some red lipstick.       For the lower class boys, we would have them dress in casual clothing, such as jeans and a hoodie. Any lower class girls would dress in similar casual clothing but may wear skirts, short dresses, or shorts as well. On the other hand...

  Creative Critical Reflection 1 .        1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? . My group’s product was a L'Oréal Paris Lipstick, and its  company usually target s their products at older audiences, mostly adult women . The main theme of L'Oréal products is that they make you feel young once more, due to that their advertisements for the most part consists of women being portrayed as being energetic and living life to the fullest because of the makeup they use. Regarding the lipstick itself, is that it goes against the ideal of the cultural beauty standard that states that the idea of beauty only applies to youth. The colors that they use ar e to contrasts the colors (such as more skin tone, matted colors) that adult women would on a daily basis wear . The company L'Oréal, introduces these women as adults (older) yet elegant and pleasing...
