Thinking About Our Final Values Video

Positives:  actors committed a 100% (Cassie&Alexis)

8.5 for editing (Cassie&Alexis)

The name is fine, (Cassie&Alexis)

I especially liked the establishing shot, because it sets up the entire short film (Jaay)

Suggestions:   The end credits need to disapear fulling before the BLOOPERS comes out. (Cassie&Alexis)

The resolution is pretty clear BUT you could show Amanda walking up to Alejandro from behind to come talk to him to add to it and also fix the odd transititon. (Cassie&Alexis)

You could maybe add some music to show the tension between Alejandro and the bullies. (Jaay)

I would recommend changing the background of the title scene to be a little bit more fitting to the film. (Jaay)

The comment made by Cassie and Alexis help us feel confident in how we portrayed our caracters. Also on the theme we feel like we did a good job. A lot of suggestions that we got was on addiding music in the part were the bullies come in which we do if there is time which there should be.

The two best seggestions we got wher addding music and showing Amanda walking up to Alejandro.

My group and I planned the shoots by first loooking at where we werr (the setting) and then going from there. I belive that my group and I did not fully folow the rule of thirds. In some shots the person is right in the middle but in others it seems as if the person would be alighned with the rule of thirds. The impressions that the over the sholder shots creat is that it allows one to see the characters expressions and reactions. It lets the viewer get into the act. The dioluge seems very realistic. The challenges I faced while editing was figuring out exactly where to edit/cut the clips. The dominant tone is someone who is very agiteded in to knowing what the money is for and the other character is indiferent. When ever I do over the sholder shots again I have to be sure not to cut out the person im doing the over the shoulder shot, I need to keep them in the shot. Remembering lines is important and try not to cut out a person and don,t face the sun when filming.

This is an example of a lower thiird. This form of titles are used when to give a quick title while the clip is playing. It is put off to a corner of the screen so it wont take to much attention from the clip but people still notice its there.

This is an example of a panel type title. You may see these when one wishes to give information while the clip is playing. You see these kinds of titles when important information comes up and the clip still keeps on playing. It cordinates with what is playing.

this type of title is used at the very begining. You see these more often than the other too. You place this kind of btitle at the very begining of a clip.

A simple cut in the timeline means there is a gab in between the clips where you chose to cut the selected clip. A ripple delete is a smooth cut. It is when you make a cut and the rest of the clips moved over to make the clip smooth. No gab between clips is visable. Lifting is cutting and extracting is a ripple edit.

This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip inbetween other clips. You may insert the clip where ever you feel it will look best. I decided to insert my clip in the middle because I felt like it would make sense to have the woman pause, get her instruction then repeat the exsercise.

This is an example of an overlay edit. With Overly you are putting an edided clip on top of the clips in the timeline isted of moving the clips over which would would produce an insert edit. You use an overlay when you just want to place it on the final clip and have it override a clip. You use insert when you want to add it onto the final product put not override over any clips.

Reflections on project 01(

In my teldramatic arts class I have learned how to edit a video. I learned how to set the set in point which is where one can start a clip from the video. I also learned the set out point which is where one can choose were to end their clip from the video. The things that I had most difficulty with was pretty much everything. Importing, which is bringing a file into permire pro to edit, was some what confusing it was one of the easy steps. Exporting, know that was really confusing. Its turning the project into a file so you may view it in a certain format and even though I followed the instructions I still got confused, so did my partner but together we figured it out and were able to move on from that point. Posting the video on YouTube was by far the most difficult thing there was to do because you had to go thru many steps that just confused me. That's the one step that slowed me down because it took me and my partner a while to figure out to post it and then when we did post my video it wasn't sowing up. We posted it on my blog as well but if you are not able to see it because it is "unavailable" that's because something must have gone wrong with the YouTube step. Overall the project was fun, I do believe that as time progresses i will become an amature at creating and editing and posting videos. (:
