Putting all of the shots together

 Today me and my team edited the commercial. I don't know much about editing. This was my first real experience editing something like this. My teammate Charlie, did the editing on his computer. We all helped with the process however I sent the files all to his laptop. Me and my team all viewed the footage today in class. We all went with the storyboard and put the clip of the shoes rising to the ball first. This shot was a full panorama of our actor. Me and my them then decided to slow down the next clip of the football flying in the air. I had to pick the right footage for this one because I shot this scene multiple times. Once my group and I finished editing the football scenes we decided to zoom into the football and blackout the screen. This would cut to our volleyball scenes. My group used the same concept as the football scenes and rose from the volleyball players shoes to up where the ball was. Our Nike prop for the volleyball was the kneepads, so I used special affects to zoom in and highlight the symbol on those. Finally one of my team members added the logo scene to the end of the commercial with Nike's slogan, "Just do it". Once, the group thought the commercial was completed we reviewed it together. I analyzed the commercial from the perspective of someone who has never seen it before. I liked it for what little time we had. Next day in class we will make more edits as team. I will also research music choices for the Nike commercial because they have certain music choices.

What we picked!

   After thorough research and thought, we've decided on the Drama genre. Horror, drama, and comedy are three entirely different genres, and are rather difficult to compare. Our pitch has a rather dark and serious aspect to it. With this, concluded that the lightheartedness of a comedy was definitely not the way to go. Aspects of a comedy include things bright and joyous lighting, fun props and light makeup. It is clear that a film capturing battles with substance abuse and addiction would not be portrayed in a breezy light hearted way. Further, popular movies under the comedy genre, like Step Brothers and Mean Girls, have none of the vision that wee see in our movie. This left us to decide between horror and drama. While these can both have chilling, surreal aspects, one just fit our theme better than the other. Horror films make use of dark lighting, setting and mood, but horror does it as the scare the watchers, and we don't want to go THAT dark. Horrors use a lot of eerie ...

Production: Finding the Perfect Location

Image
 Today I went over location of the shoot. I knew majority of the film would be shot in different places of my house. For scenes where the father is not in his daughters room, I wanted to figure out the best location. I walked around my house considering suitable settings. My mother has rather "glamours" taste, and loves to make the house look nice. This in mind, I had to be sure there were places I could take shots that wouldn't portray any sort of lavish scenery. In the scene where the father is passed out in his chair, I had a vision of a big, brown reclining arm chair. However, I do not own any type of chairs like this, just rolling office chairs. Instead, I figured I could use the end of our brown couch. My tv in room is rather plain at the moment, and has brown walls, so it seemed fitting. I tried out different lighting to see what would fit the mood best. I found that nigh time with the back kitchen light on gave just the right look. Further, while I initially thoug...

Title Research: Gattaca

Image
1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?  Which ones?     There was a total of 18 title scenes, 20 including the two quotes at the very beginning. It started with the quotes then went to the main production company(Columbia), the production, who the film was by, finally the cast. They showed two cast members then the main title, Gattaca, then the rest of the cast. It is assumed that the two first cast members listed are the main actors. Then finally, the other important people that added to the film at the end. 2.  What connotations do the images carry?  ( how  do you they make you feel) The imaging at the start is most just blue screen. It shows something falling and bouncing around in the background. Then at the end you can see a main shaving his beard. The movie is starting at the end of the title sequence. The imaging at the beginning make me feel wonder as to what's going to happen and leave me sus...
