Week 1: Editing

Image
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.

Filming

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...

Beginning to film

  Some of the challenges I faced while filming is not being able to film at all this week. The person I am filming with is going away for a few days this week. We were supposed to be filming yesterday but, I had a family issue. For now, I am just editing my script and adding and taking things out. I am very upset and sadly will only be able to film for one day next week which is on Wednesday.  

Preparing to film

Actors : I  do not have someone to work with from my class but, I am filming with someone from the school who was in my other video. I asked them last week and they said that they would help. It would have been harder to film by myself.  Costumes : The person I am filming with is going to wear dark clothing and if not the clothing does not really matter. I am going to wear regular clothing so that the audience can tell the opposite in personality for the characters in the video. Props : There won’t be any props besides a phone. I could not think of any props that I would need to use for this film.  Locations : I plan on filming at the park in my neighborhood since it is close to my house and the person I’m filming with already knows where it is located. Dates and times : We plan on filming next week Thursday since it is the only time they will be available to film. We were supposed to film this week but unfortunately, we could not. We will be filming in the afternoon. S...
