Editing Blog: Effects

Hi, Kayla here. In this Blog I will be disappointed how I made the gunshot effect. So, the reason I had to make the effect was due to the fact that one of my groupmates thought the BB gun used would make a firing sound. I don't know why. The gun is fake so the only sound it makes it the clicking of the trigger. I looked at a couple videos to show me how to make the sound. I downloaded s couple editing programs and went straight to work. I tried to make the sounds just from the effects off the app. I quickly realized that wouldn't work out. So, then I tried to watch one with firecrackers. I didn't have any firecrackers so that was a no. I then grabbed a few items and started to make sounds. At one point in time I had stopped that because the recordings weren't blending properly to make the proper sound. I then tried to get the sound from a game and then do my own editing. So I turned on my phone and went on a game. Started firing and hoped to get the bases of the sound. That's didny work out seeing as when I did capture the recording the sound was too low. I tired to emphasis it but there was too much static. I then went back to what I tried before. I then watched a video on how to blend the sounds properly to get the desired outcome. It took me about an 1 hr to get it but I got it in the end. I then searched the sound of an actual pistol to see if it was even a little accurate. Turns out it wasn't that bad. It didn't sound like the pistol shown in the video but it sounded realistic to me.

Final Review: Changes actually made.

Image
Hello, Kayla here. So, this blog will be about tbe actual changes that were made to the film. Some of the suggestions that were made to me by my family were done and some on our own. The shooting scene in my opinion wasn't too graphic so that was left the way it was. We saw no reason to re-shoot it. I also, took into consideration what was said to me and we did end up shortening the shooting scene. That was originally 11 seconds and was trimmed down tremendously. I also did some changes to the lighting. So from 0:48 seconds to 1:05 I created and added a sunlight filter. From 1:05 to the ending of the video I made and used a nighttime filter. It took me a while. I thought the filters were already made but turns out it wasn't. So, I had to use the color adjustment settings to get them to come out the way we desired. I also did end up adding some fade-outs but took them out in the end. I had to export like three different videos and go back to add ontop each. The behind the scenes...

Title Research: Mission Impossible 2

Mission impossible 2   1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?   There are only 3 titles the producer Tage and the director tag and the title of the movie. This movie decided to take the fast option giving you the most important tags for the opening. To get their idea across quickly on what type of movie it is going to be.    2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)   The titles are in between very intense images, editing, and sound going on with the titles it makes me feel pumped and ready to watch a action packed movie. The opening gets you prepared for the intensity of the movie.    3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you   tell what genre the film is) through action/interaction.   Action / interaction Is different in every movie but what ties them together is the certain mood / action e...

Commercial Blog

Image
Hi, Kayla here. This blog is my 2nd to the last blog for this project. This is the commercial blog where the video/ actual commercial is shown here. This commercial is about an ink joy pen and the attributes said pen has. You can see that in the commercial I was using a different pen officially. But, that pen as shown in the video was causing issues and not working properly. I was then given a pen which turned out to be an  Ink Joy pen before I proceeded to start writing. You can hear me explain how the pen writes smoothly and work wonderfully. The filming experience was great to say the least. I really enjoyed the process of filming this commercial.
