Blog Post #40 - Even More Editing! - 3/31/2022

 


At the end, we made some last minute edits to fix some errors that were left in the film, one of the main issues was the cast appearing in the background which was a huge errors as they weren't noticed during the day of filming and the main focuses were the shots and the videography. The first error to be fixed was that we had noticed that the cast would be seen in the Background, which on the day of filming, we didn't notice at all. Blurring out the cast was our first solution but it didn't work well as it didn't look well either! We could've blurred the entire background out and we tried but then the Drivers face was blurred out which obviously wasn't going to work, as the main character is the driver who's the central focus along with their mood which is heavily expressed through facial expressions and the actions they do. But Abdullah, managed to make an adjustment that worked to blur the background using blur bubbles to adjust it and tune the windows of the car and to not block the car and the driver.

Blog Post #7 - Thoughts on Shang-Chi - 11/16/2022

  Mise En Scene in Shang-Chi For my seventh blog post, I'll eventually be talking about use of the four main Mise En Scene areas in Shang-Chi. One being Setting, essentially being where the movie is set and the overall tone and mood that the location makes the viewer in the audience feel while watching the movie. Secondly, the lighting which is another important factor which also contributes towards the mood of the movie, such as how bright or dark something is. Thirdly, there's costume which is also contributes, such as how colorful or just what they wear can make someone feel something. Finally, staging, just how something is presented on a movie can also make the viewer feel a mood. Today I'll be covering how these four factors are presented in the movie and what they make the viewer feel.        For starters, the setting in this movie overall makes the viewer watching feel peaceful or tranquil. The movie is overall set within the country of China, throughout...

Blog Post #6 - Sound Project! - 10/26/2021

  So I have not blogged on here in a while! Been nearly a month now surprisingly, but I've had a bunch of stuff like school work & a bunch of stuff happening in my family and just overall, my life's been in craziness. But fairly recently, I got back into the world of media studies by working on a project for the last two weeks alongside two other students related to sound & to create a short little story from it, a foley stage project you could call it! We had all gotten together & managed to reach a consensus on what we wanted to do pretty quickly, we essentially wanted to start off with a person walking to his home with a car behind him that had two people in it, person from the car would then leave & begin to follow the person walking home & then hit them with a bat, they'd then return to their car & be congratulated for their work.  So, to begin off, we began to record by firstly recording the walking, which legit took us like a day. So how we di...

Blog Post #30 - Beginning to Edit - 3/29/2022

  So onto the editing part of our film! So for this part, me and Alejandro decided to take a step back and let Abdullah take a step in as he's the most exeprienced here when it comes to editing and actually knows how to do editing and since he was in charge of editing for our previous sound project. I do think that he's capable of creating something wonderful since a lot of his previous stuff is pretty good! Me and Alejandro helped out a lot with how to lay out the shots and the Videography of the shooting process. I also helped primarily on the tone and mood of the film along with helping with the costume designs with Abdullah helping with the sound as well. We did help Abdullah in many ways though, mainly just by giving suggestions on what he could do with the editing process and just any corrections that were overall needed to make it better and to fix any errors and just overall make it a nice good film opening! This allows us to truly let our creativity out there into the ...
