Drama Film: Editing Week 2

-
Finally! Week 2 of editing is complete! In this second week, I worked on some of the smaller details. I found some music to add to the film (in a very advanced method of listening to the first 20 seconds of every song in my iTunes library) and used this music as a guide to trim and adjust some of the clips. For example, I sped up some of the clips to 1.25x speed so that it wouldn't be as long, but still looked pretty natural. I also added some titles and headings to the end of the clip. However, there was one thing I had trouble with: changing the volume of the audio. I wanted to put in the music so that it started with a fade and ended with a soft fade out. However, I couldn't find the controls to do this. After some serious searching, I finally figured it out and was able to add this to my film. I also had difficulty saving my video to my flashdrive, but after a while I figured this out too. Here are some images from my second week of editing:

Week 2 Assignment: 12 Shots

-
In this blog post, I will show 12 common film shots that I took over the last week. Above is a sample of a Point-of-View Shot, which shows the scene from the perspective of a character. In this case, it shows the perspective of someone drinking from a water bottle. This shot is a choker, which is an extremely close shot that shows only the subject's face. Here, I have a long shot, in which the subject is shown from a distance so that the surroundings are also visible. Above is a pan shot. A pan shot shows the camera moving horizontally from a fixed point. Next, I have a high-angle shot, which shows the subjects from a perspective that is above them. This is a Head-On Shot, in which the action comes directly to the focus of the camera. In this case, my dog came running towards the camera and went from being completely out of view to taking up the entire frame in the span of three seconds. This video shows an establishing shot, which shows the setting from a di...

Week 5-6 Assignment: Five Master Shots

-
These last two weeks, Sophonie and I worked together to create a simple video with an example of each of the five master shots. Here is the video: Five Master Shots In the video, we begin with an example of contrast. While contrast is often used to show the stark differences between two very different circumstances, such as extreme poverty and wealth, we chose a simpler approach. In our example of the contrast shot, we chose to take a video of Mickey drinking a cup of coffee followed by a video of me drinking from a bottle of water. While we are both doing the same action: drinking, we are drinking two very different things. As everything else in the clip is the same, the contrast between the water and the coffee is emphasized. The next shot that appears in the video is our example of parallelism. Parallelism is used to represent the similarities between two different characters. In our shot, we chose to first film me walking. We then filmed Sophonie walking from the same angle....
