Production Blog: Peer Review

Hey guys and welcome back to our blog! In my previous blogs, you heard that I filmed. Then, you heard about me editing my short film on CapCut. Next, you heard how I had to re-film and had to cut out some scenes. Today, you are going to hear about peer- reviewing. What this means is I got my friends to look at our movie. When they look at my short filmed, I asked them to give their thoughts both positive and negative. In total I got two people to peer review my short film and I'm going to tell you about that. So, first let's talk about things that were said about the titles. First, most really were in love with the titles and they thought that the titles matched the genre perfectly. They also thought that the titles were really unique and something they haven't seen while still being "on genre" and they liked the effects matching the movie title . But, while that was said from one of my friends there was another one of my friends who had an opposing view. That friend thought that the titles didn't match the genre. They said that while it had that blood dripping aspect to it, it didn't really give off scary vibes. They thought that it was like horror genre but made for children and thought it looked cute more than scary. I decided to keep this in because my group-mate and I ultimately liked it. One of them thought that there were too many titles. They thought that while they understood it was an opening scene the titles seemed way too back to back. They also thought that I needed to make the amber alert part "more clear" but other than that everything else was positive. Thank you guys for reading my blog, be back the next time when I make final re-edits.

Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai. Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself.

Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse. The app...

Production Blog: Editing Blog

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...
