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.

Title Research: Get Out

Hey guys , welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be researching the different titles of movies and the titles I will be looking at today come from the movie "Get which I got from the "Art of the Title" website you read about earlier. I will not answer the questions about the opening sequence below.  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? During the opening sequence of the "Get Out" movie many titles are displayed. Specifically the title of the production companies, the title of the movie, the actors and actresses, the name of the casting head, the head of the music for the film, the maker of the music, the costume designer, the editor for the film, the production designer, the photography director, the producers, the executive producers, and finally the director who is also the writer.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? In this film, the opening sequence the images prioritized seem normal. When watching a movie, you t...

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...

Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Today, I'll continue covering and researching genres with today's genre being comedy.  There are usually very common angles that go across all realms of comedy film. One is the close up, which a lot of directors use to comedic effect. Another is the establishing shot, which is often used to r begin segments. The establishing shots used are also to bring the actors to a new scene with a comedic interaction. Another common one is the POV shot, which is often used during or after the comedic event.  Next, the lights. It depends, but often times are scenes usually light and vibrant to emphasize the comedy, unless otherwise obvious. Acting is vey vibrant, and over the top because a lot of the comedic effect is combined with the actors and the camera to really bring it all to life. Movement is where comedy movies can really shine. For example, if a pole hits a camera and makes it shake to imitate the movement. Props are also really importa...
