Editing Blog

To start off for the editing software I was planning on using iMovie since I have a Mac but, my friend that helped me film which was the goalkeeper said there was an easier editing software to use since I'm only a beginner. He recommended me cute cut to edit my commercial. I am still trying to figure out which would be the best editing software because right now I have the free version of cute cut because the actual pro version is 30 dollars. As of right now I am only working with the free editing software's, but I think I am going to buy one since those are probably better. I know I am going to be in this class for a while and we are going to edit a lot so I think that would be a good investment also, not only for this class but in the future too. For some reason I couldn't access the videos that I took from my photos to uploaded them into cute cut, I don't know what happened there because my phone is connected to my computer. I just emailed them to myself from my phone and saved them onto the desktop. When I was going to start editing, I got really scared because it wasn't letting me use iMovie nor download anything in the app store which is where you would download cute cut. I figured out that I needed to update the computer and it work even though the update took a million years, but I waited. Also, my WIFI isn't the best so there's another down fault to loading things up. I realized how I imagined my editing was going to be and it's not what's is going on. Cute cut and all of these free programs don't give you too much to edit, all you do is cut things and speed things up there's not too many options. This is another reason why I think buying an editing software is important for this class. So, in my storyboard I mentioned that I wanted to do this nice looking edit where I grab the cleat zoom it in and I tell all the parts of the cleat and what they are meant for in that one edit. So far, I am done editing everything, but I am still trying to figure out how to edit that one part I hope I can figure it out. Other than that, one part everything else is done there isn't much I can do with this software I think I could've chosen a better editing software then what my friend recommended me. In my head I was thinking since I didn't really get the filming right, which was not having a net, the weather, things like that I was going to do some really nice edits to make up for that, but I don't think it turned out how I wanted it but also, I don't think it's that bad either. I honestly really enjoyed editing my film probably more than filming it itself. I think the editing is better and more exciting than the filming in my option. I think I am going to start doing more research about editing and how to improve also, watching videos so I can become better at it. Overall, I hope to learn more about editing and checking out different editing software's which one I like the most.

Genre Research: Thriller

Thrillers will use any film aspect that emphasizes the suspense or excitement of the film. Some camera angles used in Thrillers are close-ups: which are typically used to show a character’s expression or reaction to an event, point of view shots: which engages the audience in the scene by putting them in the character’s position, high angles: which could symbolize looking down on a character in thrillers, and the opposite, low angles: which could portray the character as someone more powerful of superior. High Angle Low Angle Camera movements commonly noticed in thrillers include tracking, pans, and tilts. Tracking is used to build suspense. The camera follows a moving object or character and allows the audience to anticipate what the scene is leading to. Pans can be used to show a comparison between two or more characters, or just to show the scene’s setting more. Tilts are also used to showcase a setting, scene, or character. Tilts sometimes focus of one subject, and the camera moves...

Today we final met up again to add some final touches to the film. Not going to lie, longest drive of my life. Actually i might have driven more. Either way that was a long ride but you already know I had music so it wasn't to bad. Even though that's gas money which isn't cheap if you use your car a lot. That made me realizes things. I should've just stayed home lmao. No I'm just kidding they needed me there. Wouldn't want to disappoint them when we needed to see each other one last time. I'm use to long car rides but when you're in the car alone it gets boring even when you have the music blasting. But loud music does wake you up so I never fall asleep even when I go to work early in the morning. Music is life and I love music. I should up around 3:30 nothing to crazy. I left my sister with my mom since she came home early because I told her I was going somewhere. We had to finish editing but it all turned out fine. So there was a problem uploading the ...

Sadly notice again we haven't been able to meet up this week. I sound like I'm making so many excuses and I hate it. You guys are tired of me talk about not being able to film all the time. I've only had one blog that was actually about filming so you can probably see how little free time we have in order to film. I also just remembered I have to go put gas in my car in order for me to take that longggg drive to Isabel's house in order to film. I'm happy at the moment though because tomorrow is my birthday so i'm excited about that. I asked for a book for my birthday from Warren Buffet. He's one of the wealthiest people in the world and I really want to become something big in the future. I want to get out of my 9-5 and be financially free and help others out. How great it would be to get my parents out of there jobs. My group is busy again like usual this week but I mean so am I. Isabel has games and practices like usual and I want to spend the weekend with...
