Starting to Edit

     Our filming was abruptly cut short so we decided to start editing. However, right after spring break I went on a last minute trip. I was unable to help with editing. I did not feel that it was okay for my group mates to do the work alone so we worked out a schedule. They would begin editing the scenes for which they had done storyboards for. I would do the same but once I was back from my trip. That way, we were able to move forward and I was still able to contribute. Even though I had limited access to the internet on my trip I was still able to communicate with my groupmates on the progress they were making. We all shared the previous knowledge we had on editing and gave any helpful advice. I also researched different royalty free music that we could use for the sequence. 

   Finally, one of my groupmates found a website that had eerie music that we all liked. We all looked through it and found different styles of eerie music that could possibly fit our scenes. Since we are all editing separately, this helped us be on the same page and have a smoother editing process. One member suggested for us to use slow motion for certain parts of the film. Even though this we ended up not using this idea, it helped us expand our ideas. We realized that we should think a bit more outside the box if we wanted our film to turn out unique. Since I have not begun editing I have not been able to expand my ideas directly onto the editing software. These past couple of weeks my group mates and I have focused on expanding our knowledge on editing skills and techniques. We also began to carefully plan out the types of angles and shots we wanted for the next time we met up to film. We will not be filming this weekend, but the next.

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 ...
