CCR questions

Alternative link:   https://youtu.be/sIO5ch_krac?si=Pk9OaJsrD2u9_kpp   Script: okay this is question one how does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?       so my opening sequence was filmed entirely by students of um this class and it was filmed entirely with equipment that we already had we did not have to go out and buy any equipment we decided that we would use equipment that we already own to create this opening sequence. for a lot of um opening sequences for short films they have to go out of their way to buy things, but we decided not to buy anything and we decided to just go and create this sequence with the things that we already owned. and how does it represent social groups or issues? this could represent an issue that we have in overall just in the entire world where we trust people very easily there are a lot of um examples of this in real life a lot of stories that you hear about somebody who trusted this person and

Production blog: scene cuts

Image
  So we ended up cutting a big portion of scenes. The scenes that were cut did not establish the plot. They could have been useful if we were faster. This will officially be my last blog for this long project. It was very fun and time consuming at the same time. I mostly enjoyed editing and watching our work back. It was nice to see the months of work all together. I helped compose this and it made me think more about the media I myself consume. I now think of the name of the shots and film. I even point out diegetic sounds in the film. It means I can tell sound effects apart from the original tape. Even the sneaky ones. This is because as I edited I listened a lot of popular sound effects used in media. Thats all for today blog!

Production Blog: Editing

Image
Hi Blog! As I completed my editing I realized there was a problem. We went over time. By a lot. So I went back and discussed with my team. We ended up cutting a few scenes. While we were filming we did not realize how the time would play out all together. We individually filmed scenes and edited them together after we completed every scene. In total we filmed 16 scenes! It was a very fun process. The timing has been the only problem that we have had. The photo above is a BTS shot from scene 14. We had to use a pool instead of a lake. It was an availability problem. Thats all I have for today!

Production blog: editing

Image
           Hi blog! Production is done and now we are focused on the editing aspect of this project. I do a lot of the editing for this project. I am used to using these platforms so it is not a struggle. I first began with editing the scenes together. The scenes were all filmed in order so it was easy to do this. Before adding the scenes in I had to decide which takes we would use in our sequence. We filmed a lot. After adding in the scenes I started to look at which effects would work. The seamless animations would blend the scenes together. It would make it smoother. It would make the transition less awkward. After choosing which effects I wanted to use I added them in. I used CapCut to add the videos together. I used video star to add in the effects. Both platforms are incredibly useful and they have helped us through this project. My teammates helped with some of the editing too. I am going to finish editing it finally soon. I still have to choose whether or not I want to implemen

Production blog: wrapping up

Image
            Hi blog! We are wrapping up our final scenes and I am excited to be done with filming. I want to see our final product. We have already chosen what music we want to use. We also have decided on what editing platforms we will be using. Each of us have done a good portion of editing and filming. For these last scenes it was not as hard as the first ones. Each of us knows what to do and how to  do it. We each have roles in this sequence and we have learned them throughout the filming journey. Juggling a project like this and filming is hard but we managed to do it all. These scenes were very suspenseful and they required more energy. I am glad that each of us have became more comfortable with filming. I had to take a few breaks in between filming to finish an assignment. This inconvenience did not set us back though. We did manage to finish filming and we all were happy to go home. Getting our well deserved rest was important to the each of us. Tomorrow I am going to begin edi

Production blog: filming scenes 10-13

Image
            Hi blog! We are almost done with filming. We filmed scenes 10-13. Thankfully we are on schedule still. There have been little setbacks that did not stop production all together. So we got to filming more scenes today. In total we had gotten to filming at least 8 scenes of our sequence. This is amazing progress and hopefully we keep it up. The more we filmed together the more we got comfortable. This made production nice and easy because even if we were stressed we all had it in common. I filmed some scenes but I also made an appearance in a scene too. Being behind the camera is easier than being in front of it. Each of us wants to try our hardest to get it right the first time and this keeps us determined. Scheduling is going great and production is too. We have gotten to editing a few scenes. Since we are in time we can make sure our scenes are not too flawed. That all I have written for today! Bye!
