Editing Blog: Completing the Editing of Our Video

-

 Hello welcome back to my blog, Today I am going to walk you through the rest of our editing process. In my last blog I talked about our struggles and how we trimmed our clips. Today I'm adding the glam and creativeness to the movie. In my past blogs I've edited my videos with color and cute images but this time I can't, I need to make it dark and ominous. I First decided on what genre of music I would like to use.I didn't want any words in the music I just wanted creepy sounds. However when I asked Alyssa what sing she'd like to use, she told me she already found one. She choose Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. I listened to the song and it fit our opening movie scene so well but we couldn't use to due to the copyright issue. To be able to use this song we would need to email the producers of this song and request permission. The issue with that is they probably will take a super long time to answer or just not answer at all. Too avoid that mess we chose a upbeat but mysterious tune with no words. We cut the music out when the scene where I'm on FaceTime began because we needed to hear what I was saying. The next scene to have music was when the mysterious man was trying to open the door. We added a suspenseful sound to try and keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. Now that we got all the music we needed we added transitions in certain spots. We added a fade transition from the clip when the mysterious man enters the home of Chloe to the innocent bystander watching him. We added this transition to keep the watchers entertained. We then added effects like zooms, stickers, and sound effects. Once we did all that our video looked amazing. I was really happy with the outcome, It was suspenseful and scary which was everything we wanted. Alyssa and I's movie the run definitely fit our genre, Thriller.

The Vision Short Film

Throughout the Mystery short film, The Vision, there was a boy looking for his friend throughout a fever dream and never ended up finding out if his friend was ok or not. There was common sounds like creepy music playing in the background. The lighting throughout the short film was very dark and eerie. The boys bedroom as well as all the settings that were shown throughout the film were dark and made a viewer feel uncomfortable. A common editing tactic in the mystery genre is foreshadowing which means early in the film, a hint is given as to what is going to happen as the plot. Another common tactic is suspense. Suspense is built through ending scenes with cliffhangers, making a character complicated, intense point of view, and hints as to what is to come throughout the film.  I really enjoy the suspenseful part about mystery genre films. Throughout all mystery films, there is so much suspense built up because you truly want to know what happened and why it is happening. This quest...

Its Me Again

 Hey Cambridge it's me, Carleigh Tripp, again. I am still a student at Fort Lauderdale High School and I am Still 15, however I am turning 16 on December 21st. I joined AICE media studies because I've always found interest in filming and showing my creative side. So far I've had a wonderful time making videos, especially the latest project we completed. The last project was a commercial and the item we choose was the energy drink Celsius. My favorite part of that project was incorporating the angles and editing that we learned in class. I learned a lot on filming and editing, mainly using editing apps and how to create those cool effects through technology. As we progress through the course I would like to film people who aren't part of the class to get more people than me and my partner. I would also like to include my dog since he's energetic yet can take commands well, if I told him to sit and stay he would. His names Ripley, he's 8 years old and is a Parti P...
