  What specific elements of the film opening did you like? Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific) What suggestions do you have for changes? I like how they pulled up pics of the text messages that the boy received. Why did the boy just give the girl the phone and walk away? You probably could have included who the girl was. I really liked the texts in the corner of the screen, and I thought this opener was very well shot. The genre and plot was very well communicated. I didnt think that anything was confusing I liked the uploading files screen when the guy was downloading all of the girl's information, but I think it could be even better if you could somehow shoot that on the phone screen and not just as its own clip. I loved everything about this opener! The way it was filmed, the acting, the cutting sequences, the camera angles, all of...

 

After I transferred the video to my phone, I used another app to add music that I hold on my phone onto the video. I used a split/razor tool and edited the audio volume individually of each clip. I took the time to add a title to the beginning as well. I had extra clips on my phone that I had trouble putting onto the computer so I added them. While I was editing, I came across the sizing and crop issues of some clips. I cropped all of them so that they fit the sequence. It took me at least an hour and a half to finish. For the title, I wanted to use a font that would add a sci-fi feel to the video. I edited the audio so that it fades in the beginning and fades out at the end.  

While I was using premiere pro, I noticed that it was running a little slow. I could not directly upload the videos to the computer because of how long they were, I had to edit them and make them shorter. Some of the videos were different sizes due to me having to crop and edit.  I was missing three videos because they failed to upload every time I tried to put it in a folder. Only three videos were all the same size but, I can fix it using another editing software. I rearranged everything and put them into order. After they were in order, I used the track select tool and the razor tool to take out some unwanted parts and to adjust the timeline. I added video effects and transitions to the video. For the middle, I used a dip to white and for the end I used a dip to black. I am thinking about adding another part so, I might remove the ending transition.

During our filming we faced issues such as, cars and planes. It was kind of windy while we were filming too. It took me a while to say the script as naturally as possible but, I got it down. We had to change some of the angles that I put down in my storyboard due to the amount of time we had to film. In one of the shots, Michael's head was out of frame. I did not notice until I went home. I cannot add any more things with him to film since he was only available for that short amount of time. The video itself is almost two minutes so, I do not think I should add anything. Other than the few issues, it came out nicely. The park also closed by the time we finished. I bought a tripod for this assignment which helped me while filming. It took us at least ten minutes trying to set it up though. This scene was towards the end of the film but, the lighting started to get darker cause we had been there after 5:30 pm.   This was a blooper from one of us scenes in the beginning. We realized w...
