Second Day of Editing

 Today is the second day of editing. This day is going to be mostly focused on title editing. There was a short discussion on what color the titles should be at the beginning. It was resolved and agreed that it would be red throughout the entire time. Then came the picking of the actual font. There was a general idea of what the font should look like. However, no one had used the fonts on CapCut before. This means that around 30 minutes were spent just looking through the fonts and trying to decide what to use. Once this was figured out it was pretty much smooth sailing. Then the group was hit with a pretty obvious thing everyone had forgot about. There had to be a way for the words to exit and enter the screen. It wouldn't have looked right if they just popped up and the went away. This took longer than expected because everyone wanted it to be different each time. This means that each new credit will enter in a different way and exit in a different way from the last one. It took some time put personalizing each exit and entrance of the credit made everything look very cool. The further into the credit the group got I realized something very bad. With all the clips selected for the movie in the editing app together the time wasn't reading 2:00 minutes. In fact it was much lower than that at around 1:39. Everyone was very distraught at this news and didn't know what to do. However, once calmed down it was decided that it would be best to just shoot some scenes on another day.

Final Task

    Finally, the video is done. I would've never thought that making a 2 minute movie would be this hard. I really had to use all the skills I learned throughout the year for the project to turn out how it did. However, the experience itself was a mix between stressful and fun. There were many unexpected twists and turns. From spring break to travel plans and just general bumps in the road. Almost everything that could go wrong did. But there were also  good moments where we were able to come together have fun and film. In these moments everyone got to showcase their individual filming and movie skills. Overall, the process behind this movie was crazy, hectic, but also really fun. I can't wait for you guys to see it!

  Regarding the camera angles, movements and shots, this short film has plenty of them. For instance, it includes a three-shot, showing the family members in the car, to make the audience familiar with them and somewhat get attached. Moreover, it also contains a wide shot, showing the famil y’s environment to show the audience where it takes place, and to enhance the fact that there is no one else besides them and the officers. Additionally, the tracking shot of the dad getting into the car is being used to highlight his emotions. Finally, it includes a low angle of the officer that makes him seem superior and overpowerin g.   When it comes to sound, this short film uses dialogue, to build a conflict between the family and the officers, which helps reach the climax. Another type of sound is incidental, which strongly enhances suspense and drama to make the audience feel on the edge of their seats.

Short Film: Thriller

  The movie contains a lot of hand-held shots along with two-shots. For instance, there was a scenario where the protagonist was having a realization that something was off with a women's husband.  It documented the manner the man was looking around cautiously and worried.  These specific shots can be used to show the audience what is happening in the action as it is happening and to simply illustrate the movements of the characters. The utilization of cutaway shots was also common. For instance, the protagonist woke up and the shots cut from him to a man making breakfast demonstrating his alertness. Cutaway shots are used to create tension and suspense. These shots are quick glimpses of something that is not immediately relevant to the main action of the scene, but that adds to the overall feeling of unease and uncertainty. By showing brief glimpses of something that is not immediately explained, the director creates a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. This can make...
