Editing The Short Film


Today, we began editing all the clips we had so far. All our members were present today, so my group had hope for today. We were at a great start because we filmed several shots of each scene to make sure they were the right length. My group and I made sure we had both long and short shots. This is because we wanted to be able to cut some scenes short if it was needed. It started with almost 15 minutes of footage, but we brought it down to 10 mins. Slowly, but surely, we will have the 5 minutes complete. We didn't have much time to work on it because we had a short meeting, but we tried to get as much as possible done. We decided we were going to use Imovie and Capcut to edit our short film. This is because my group and I wanted to use both the features on those 2 apps. We began on a computer with editing, but may use our phones if needed. We will insert the music later, but we spent most of today reviewing the shots and putting them in order. We picked the shots we wanted to use for the film first. My group and I made sure the person recording was not visible in any scenes. We were also able to shorten some of them. We didn't work on any transitions between scenes. That will be one of our final details that will be included. We found some shots that we couldn't use, so we saved them in a folder to reshoot later. Those shots won't be used unless we truely need them, but for now we will try and reshoot them. My group and I already decided that our next step is to plan our itinerary for the next meet.

Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal...

Music Changes

Today, we spent time picking new music. We messaged Khalid a while ago and he still hasn't seen ut. Since Khalid hasn’t answered our messages, so we didn’t to have any other artist options. My group and I didn’t think Frank Ocean would respond back or even on time. Because of that, we didn't attempt to message him. We started looking for some royalty free music. However, none of the options were good enough for our film in our opinion. We kept finding other ways that we can use so that the music would be good. Since we think music is one of the most important parts of the film. We found some potential ideas. We thought of the idea of remixing a song, so that it wouldn’t be copyrighted. We started editing the song we originally had which was "Coaster." We editing the speed and the sounds in the background to see if we can still use it. My group and I really wanted to use this song, so we are trying our best to make it work. After a lot of time, we made it possible for ...
