Editing Blog 1

     Last class my partner and I stated editing our movie. We have to get as much done as possible since we have our peer review soon. The peer review is where our fellow classmates look at our work and give constructive comments. We need to have majority of the movie done so they have enough to review. The groups are randomly assigned by our teacher. I will be uploading a peer review blog as well. The peer review will be next Tuesday March the 5th. If I don’t have anything for my classmate to review I will get the zero in my grade book.  So it is very important for us to get our work done.

      Me and my partner filmed on my phone instead of the camera. Since we did though we have to email all of the videos to ourselves and download them. This took a while because at school there is not good service. Once we downloaded them we could then import our footage onto the editing software, Pinnacle Studios. We were able to get the first 3 scenes done. The rest will be done on our next class on Friday. Then the rest will be done over the weekend.  I am going to try very hard to get everything done tomorrow in class since I don’t want to spend my weekend editing.  Once we do the peer review I will do a reshoots. I will also do re edits.

Filming blog 2

   This is our second filming blog. For our movie I will have twelve different blogs along the way. These blogs are tracking our progress. I have already done one filming blog. There has to be a minimum of three filming blog and three editing blogs. My first filming blog I talked about my filming experience. Me and my partner filmed all of the footage we need last weekend. Next class we will begin the editing process. We need to get majority of the editing done since next week on the fifth we are doing a peer review.
    Since we were able to film everything already I haven't bee doing much. I have not started editing yet but I will be starting next class. Once me and my partner start editing we can see if we need to do any re shoots. We won't be able to re shoot until after editing. My third filming blog will be similar to this blog. My next blog will most likely be a editing blog. My third filming blog will come later on in the process. I will be posting a new blog every Monday and Thursday. Each blog will also contain a photo.

Filming blog 1

      Now that we are done with all of the planning and researching we are now onto filming. We have twelve  more blogs until we are fished  with our movie. These blogs include our filming, editing, re shoots and re edits. We will also be doing a peer review. We also have three more blogs that are open for us to do whatever we want.  This is our first filming blog. Last Thursday the 13th of February we checked out a camera from our teacher so we can film over the weekend. We wanted to get our filming done as so it could just get it out of the way. We were planning on filming on Sunday but it didn't work out. So we filmed on Monday the 17th since we had the day off of school.

       We were filming at my house since that is where the robbery takes place. Kol, my partner, arrived at my house around eleven in the morning. We ended up finishing and getting all of the footage we needed on Monday. It took us about two hours. We will still have to do re shoots, but we won't do that until after we start editing. That way we can see what footage we have and what we have to re shoot. For majority of the film I filmed. Kol was the actor. I only acted in a few scenes. I used the video camera and filmed all of the scenes I was not in.

Planning : Storyboard

This is our final planning blog. This is our storyboard. The storyboard is a plan for how our movie is going to be. We will be going scene by scene and explaining what is happening. It has where all the titles will be and the acting in each scene. Our storyboard is ten pages. We are putting the storyboard pictures in a google slide presentation for your convince. It is easier to read the storyboard in a presentation then individual uploaded pictures which we have done before. The storyboard also allows us to stay on track and focus on our movie.

Planning : Titles Design

This is our fourth planning blog. In this blog I will be discussing the titles designs and how they enter and where they are shown on screen. Some of the titles designs include the font we choose and the size.  We will be using a font we found online called Lobster . We will be using this font in a size thirty. This is a little bit of a smaller font so the thirty size is a good size.  The next planning blog will be our storyboard. This will be our final planning blog and then next we will begin the filming process. The filming process will take us about a week. After filming we will be able to edit and make these titles prominent.

Planning Blog : Safety , Location, Participates, & Schedule

This is another planning blog for our movie. This presentation includes our health and safety procedures that we will be following. I explained all the steps and precautions we will follow in order to ensure safety. This blog also includes our filming location. The location we are using is my house. I also included a schedule  in this presentation. This allows to have a time frame for our movie. We can track our progress and we make sure we are staying on track with following the given schedule. Lastly in this presentation I disclose the participants in our cast and crew.
 

Planning Blog : Sound and Dialogue Script.

Similar to the shooting script this is also a planning blog. This is our sound and dialogue script. Unlike the shooting script this in this we are including the speech. This script includes not only the dialogue but the sounds as well. This includes music and other sounds like ambient and digetic sounds. This fits the more standard way people think of a script. This presentation is shorter then the other one since we can fit multiple scenes in one slide. Here is our presentation.

Planning Blog : Shooting Script

 After a lot of research we are finally starting to actually being the process of creating the movie. In this blog we are planting our movie. This presentation is our shooting script. The shooting script is the script for our movie but without dialogue. That might seem weird since scripts are usually  dialogue. This is the actions, whats going on in each scene. It is basically the storyboard for our movie but in written form. The actual storyboard blog will be coming soon. There are ten different scenes in our film. There are eight titles as well. Those are mentioned as well in the presentation.
