Putting the pieces together

 To edit the commercial, I used iMovie. I have never used iMovie to edit before so I had to learn how to use it first. I watched YouTube videos on how to edit on this platform. It seemed easier than any other editing platforms I have used before. After watching videos to learn how to use it, I started editing. First, I had to send the video clips from my phone to my laptop. I then opened iMovie and imported the clips. I put them into the order according to my storyboard and trimmed them to the length I needed. I adjusted the colors and brightness of the videos to make them more colorful and appealing. It was time to decide music. My partner and I went through many songs. I searched for songs that were upbeat and uplifting to support the active aspect of our commercial. I knew I wanted to use a very well known song so viewers could sing along and remember the commercial better. I went on YouTube again and searched for a very long time. I couldn't find a song that fit my vision so I was feeling defeated. I then jumped up and yelled to my partner about the bright idea I had. I knew the perfect song for this commercial. It was Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves. This song was perfect because it is upbeat, well known, and refers to the shoes I am advertising. I wanted to advertise these shoes as awesome, so I chose this song because nothing is better than sunshine.

  My group for the music video is me, Kaya, Ben, and Addison. I have been friends with them for a very long time and I think they are great people to do this project with. We all usually have similar ideas. Our personalities go well together and do not clash. I chose them for this project because I know I can count on them to do their share of the work. They are very creative and can help with the brainstorming aspect of the project. Ben actually makes music so he could help us determine what we should put in the video. We all love being in front of the camera, but also behind so we can all be in the video. We always work well together and listen to each other. We communicate ideas well and can agree on things. We avoid arguing and have different skills we can provide to make a good music video. I enjoy editing, which can help with the commercial. Addison enjoys drawing and is good at it which can help with the storyboard for the commercial. I think it was a good idea to choos...

Comparing Le Jetee: the short, and 12 Monkeys: the full-length movie

  Part 1-  The main takeaway of the video is what goes into making a good film.  Editing and filming are required for the audience to understand the story.  The video talks about how the film was made and how it was meant to show what is happening.  Editing is important in movies in general.  The pictures put in allow for a clean effect for shots.  The shots and reverses allow us to feel the film.  Long shots allow the audience to better see the film.  The audience was given more time to study the pictures.  The images are each their own story. - How can we better represent situations and emotions in our film?  This film goes back in time in a straightforward manner for the audience to understand everything.  Audio can also be used to enhance the video. A group of monkeys want to find a solution to a problem.  This generates a sense of curiosity in viewers.   Towards the end of the film, the pace of the film increases...

   Conventions in Thriller films Genre Research: Thriller Close-up- may be used when your attention is intentionally directed to the character’s face and at times what is behind them. Extreme close-up- used as a powerful way to convey the emotion that the subject is feeling. They are used in thrillers to allow the audience to get a clear understanding of the emotions the character is going through. Used mostly to convey fear, pain, and sadness in thrillers. Low angle- to show the power struggles of characters throughout intense scenes. High Angle- to show the power struggles of characters throughout intense scenes. Costumes are more often than not very simple and plain. Muted colors are usually used to not take away from what is actually happening in the movie. For example in the Split trilogy, muted colors are used for costumes when we are to focus on the dialogue and action. And bright colors are used when they want us to focus on a character. Lowkey lighting is a high-contr...
