My Filming and Editing Process


 There were many obstacles when trying to film and edit. Some of these obstacles include the weather, when I tried to record it began raining which stopped me. Another obstacle was when I began editing I realized I didn't have all of my props and I had to run and get the things I was missing. I also had problems with my scheduling, where some of my actors weren't available. A problem with editing that I had was the Wi-Fi, I had to reboot the box in order for it to work. Another editing issues was when the video wouldn't go to the right time and I kept editing it. These issues were finally resolved because i learned to think about them differently. I resolved these issues by thinking like an actual director would by not panicking and just resolving the issues calmly. This method took a lot of stress away then what I'd usually do in the making of a music video. It also help me get things done in an orderly and timely fashion. Throughout the editing and filming process it takes a lot of planning and preparation for any and every situation. As I begin to realize this my filming and editing process goes by way smoother. I also need to put my actors on a tighter schedule in case something goes wrong or I need to do a retake for a scene. This video, although it was longer which meant more boxes in the storyboard. This music video went by smoother the 30 second commercial because of the experience I gained in doing the other projects. I learned how to utilize props, my setting and my props to create a mood for my video. I also learned how to edit way faster then last time and how to utilize my resources. All in all, as I do more videos my projects go by easier and smoother.

Planning for Short Film

Image
  We plan to film our short film at different locations around the school. The first place we plan to film is on the track. This is where the establishing shot will be and the entire first scene will happen. The next scene will take place in the bully's room, this where the transition to the bully's dream takes place. The bully's dream will occur in the outside hallway of building 5. The final scene will happen in the bus loop. We will begin filming after winter break, January 3, 2022. The day back is an A day so we will try to film during al of our study halls. When filming isn't in process everyone will have on their masks for safety. There will be sanitizer for the cast to use whenever they touch anything. One of the main props will have are the bookbags they have on. Since they are teenagers they will also have their phones. The scene in the hallway will be the first one that we complete because everyone will be in class. As far as costumes, everyone can wear their

Genre Research - Final Choice

Image
    Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s m

Genres choices

  We chose three different genres that we believed our pitch could fit into. The first genre we chose is comedy. Our pitch could fit into the comedy genre because of some events that could occur. For example, while the bully is learning from his mistake someone could make a joke. It could also fit in this genre because of its elements and Mis-En-Scene. Such as, the casual costumes and classroom settings of many comedy films. The second genre we chose for our pitch is horror. This pitch could fit into this genre because of the acts of violence within the scenes. Another reason it could fit is because of some common sounds found in horror. For example, screaming; this could be used in our pitch during a scene where the bully is bullying someone. The last genre we chose for our pitch is drama. Our pitch could fit into this genre because the relationship between a bully and his victim revolves around drama. The story line of dramas commonly revolve around high schoolers, which our pitch al
