Editing 2

 

Today in class, we finished editing our commercial. The commercial is about
abcmouse.com. We knew that we wanted to edit it to make it look like a real commercial. We watched real ABC mouse commercials and took notes of how they were edited. We then tried to replicate that in ours. We noticed that they used multiple camera angles. They used high shots, close-ups, and eye-level shots. When editing, we used clips that had different shots in them. We also paid attention to the music and sound effects. In our commercial, we attempt to use these sound effects and music to achieve the same goal. We noticed that they used voice overs in the commercial. We are considering doing the same. Ayden recorded one video with the voice over, and one with music playing. When editing, we use the small details to try and get closer to the real ad while giving our own spin on it. We trying to make our commercial appealing to children and adults alike. As a group, we had to go through and look at the clips that composed our commercial. In total, we had to take off 10 seconds worth of time. In the commercial was mainly edited by Ayden. Trevor gave his input on which scenes to take out. And I helped work sound choices.

Group Blog (2022/23)

   I would like to do my A-level film in a group. Last year, I expressed my uncertainty on the topic of groups. I stated how I often found it easier to work by myself because you have full control over all the components of the project. I went on to say "You do not have to rely on other people, and you will not be dragged down if they forget their work". I remember stating that there was no clear answer, but this year, I have come to a conclusion. I decided that the best way to go is to put my trust in the abilities of my group mates. I would like to partner with Max, Jibril, and Alec because I believe it will make creating the film easier. Max is someone who can point me in the right direction. We have been in many of the same classes over the last couple years and we have gotten along very well. He has, and presumably will keep track of what elements need to be included and help with the design process. Considering that I have some artistic talent, I will be doing the story...
