Production Blog: Editing One

 

The final step in my production of the film is editing. During the editing process, I need to make sure that the film is good enough to show. This means that I have to look at all the clips that we have taken and find the best ones. Once I found the best ones, I need to make sure that they are all adding up to the right amount of time so that I am not over the time limit. Once I have the right clips, I need to shorten them down. This way, the time between dialogue, while the camera was still rolling will not be included. And I still need to leave a little bit of room before and after the dialogue, so that I can add in transitions. As of right now, I am planning on mostly doing jump cuts, but if possible, I would like to experiment with other types of transitions. Once the transitions are done, I need to add in any effects. The biggest effect that I need to add will be the light from the spaceship that picks up one of my group members. As of right now, we hung a flashlight over her head to give this impression. Hopefully, I can find an effect in editing software that looks good enough. I will also need to find a sound that can represent the beam pulling her up. I will need to find a sound that the ship makes while hovering as well. After this next step, I need to digitally alter the sound so that the audience can hear the dialogue. This is an issue because when we were filming, a lot of noise from cars, AC units, and airplanes can be heard. as well as editing out sounds, I will need to edit out any other distractions. In one of the scenes, there is an object that was too heavy to physically remove. Therefore, I need to digitally remove it., By making these adjustments to the film, I hope to improve the quality of the film, making it easier to watch, and hopefully, meet all the criteria that I need to.

Group Blog (2022/23)

Image
   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...
