The Finishing Touches on The Final Project

     A few days ago we did the first half of our changes to the film. Today we are going to finish the edits and make anymore changes. The main focus of todays edits was the music and audio.

    After school I met up with my teammate Rashawn again in order to make the final changes needed for our project. Rashawn had came prepared and had already redesigned the audio that will be used in the film. All we had to do was put it into the editing software and remove the original soundtrack. 

    While in the process of adding in the audio we encountered an issue. The audio quality in the film was a lot lower quality compared to the original work. I suggested that maybe when putting it into Premiere Pro it was being played at a lower quality in order to reduce the file size.

    Rashawn and I looked into the issue further and found that there was an option to export the file at the regular quality instead of the the lower quality. This issue had a relatively simple solution and I am very happy that we were able to fix it. 

    With the audio fixed we were able to begin making the final changes on the project. We started the final edits by watching the movie a few times. After watching 3 or 4 times we moved on and discussed any changes that could be made.

    We both agreed that the audio for the dialogue was a lot quieter than everything else. From here we had to options to fix this issue. We could either record and add voice-overs to make the dialogue louder. Or we could lower the volume on the song and ambient sounds.

    The voice-overs would make the audio quality sound more clear and louder; however, we didn't have time to go to Rashawn's place and record. The only option we had was to lower the audio for the music and ambience. This is a simple and quick fix, but the drawback is that the overall audio is going to be much quieter.

    After working for nearly 3 hours the editing process is finished. The next step is to get a few last minute suggestions for changes and then finish the project.

The Rough Outline for The Music Video

Image
     Today I began editing the video. I decided to use Adobe Premiere for the editing for two reasons. The first was because I have experience with Adobe Products and I know how to use them. The second is because I personally believe that Adobe Premiere Pro has a good layout that works great with my editing style.      Using my phone I transferred all the clips my team and I recorded onto my computer.  I took all the clips from the first day of filming and put them into a folder on my computer. The file helps to keep everything organized. It also helps with transferring the clips at a much faster rate instead of doing them all individually.       I took all the clips and put them into Premiere Pro and began looking through and deciding which ones to use. Each scene was filmed once or twice so we could have options for editing. Some of the clips were tough to decide which ones to use, but others were much easier to decide.      After deciding what clips to use I began to combine them on

Title Design Research: Thriller

Film: Bird Box 1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are 11 titles displayed throughout the opening sequence. The ones included are the Name of Studio(Netflix), Actors Names(Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, Jacki Weaver, Rosa Salazar), Film Title(Bird Box),Edited by(Ben Lester), Produced by(Dylan Clark, Chris Morgan, Clayton Townsend), and Directed by(Susanne Bier).   2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel)  The images make me feel intimidated. The text is in a white, big bold font, so I’m forced to look at it. I feel suspense as I see them. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is)?  It is a little difficult to tell what genre the film is because it also includes elements of horror. But the element of suspense and that stomach-turning feeling you get while watching a thriller is there. 4. What conventions are used t
