Final Day of Editing


    With most of our filming and editing previously discussed we went into editing decently prepared. Each of us had put our own section of the sequence together. Then we all sent our work to Hannah who would be combining everything. Originally, we were going to have everyone fully edit their own work, but we decided  against it since everyone had opposing ideas. The scenes I had sent to Hannah had become blurry in the process of sending. I had become very frustrated because I could not find the issue. I had to discard my original edit and start over. Fortunately, the second time around everything was clear, and would work for our sequence. While Hannah put everything together, the rest of the group members and I solidified the fonts, sounds and filters. Editing lasted only 2 days since we had preplanned most of it already. While Hannah was editing, I focused on creating names for the studio and our production company. I began combining the initials of all of our groupmates to do this. I showed the ideas to my group and we were all satisfied with the names. I then distributed out the rest of the titles of the movie. 

    This wasn't hard since I assigned our own names to different roles like costume designer, producer, etc. Finally I decided the sounds we were going to use along with Jocelyn and Judith. We came to the conclusion that we were going to use 2 different audios. One called "Poisonous" at the end of the sequence to raise the tension and leave the audience wanting more. The other "Venomous" to flow throughout the sequence. Hannah kept us updated on her progress and we would give her advice as she edited. Although, I did not directly contribute to editing I was still able to help with many aspects pf editing in order to finish our sequence in time.

Creative Critical Reflection

       1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?                The commercial uses multiple different things to make it enjoyable. The most noticeable being editing and background sounds. The editing allows the audience to become more engaged with the commercial and the product. The contrasting colors of each shot are a perfect example of this editing. The background music creates the fun, playful atmosphere of the commercial and adds excitement. Background music connects visuals with audio in order for the audience to achieve a more engaging viewing experience. The groups of people to most identify with the commercial is the gaming community. It is also likely to appeal to younger age groups and the high technology community and industry.      2. How does your product engage with the audiences AND how would it be distributed as a...

Finding Fonts

Image
 Once I returned from my trip, there was a time we were not filming. I took advantage of this and began looking for fonts that would fit our opening sequence. I am editing on iMovie, so I looked into the fonts that are offered on there. I couldn't find any fonts that matched the ideas we had previously come up with. I spoke with my group about the font issue, and we looked into other editing platforms. It turned out that iMovie was the easiest place for all of us to edit. So, I became more open minded about the fonts that we had on iMovie. I started experimenting with the different fonts. To do this, I selected one of the clips from what we had previously filmed and put it into iMovie. Once there, I uploaded the clip into a new project and made sure it was the correct length to display the title. Then, I went to the title and fonts option and tested many different fonts. The fonts in iMovie are somewhat basic so it was hard to find some that I genuinely liked. I was able to narrow ...
