 Welcome back. During the final edits of the commercial, this is how things went. My group and I realized that the editing software called Vimeo did not suit our needs for editing. I had to edit things like transitions and be able to fit each clip into the video to fit transitions in and not miss anything while also fitting the commercial time requirement. We transitioned to editing on the editing software called Capcut. I was trying to find an editing software thats free and easy to use. I realized Capcut is the best for our commercial in what I want to put in it and add to it. Capcut provides me music, transitions, screens, overlapping videos and much more. During editing, the biggest difficulty was making sure that the commercial fit the strict 27-30 second time requirement. At first, the commercial was 40 seconds long. I had to completely remove some clips I thought were not necessary for the point trying to be proven in this commercial. I also had to adjust the length of some clips and those that were least important I made smaller and those that were more important for was we were advertising I made longest. I used a dissolving transition for when Omnia and I took a bite out of the donut looking completely unready for the day to looking completely ready to leave for school after taking a bite of the donut. During editing, I was thinking of what sound effects could be used to fit the tone and mood of the commercial. The sound effect of a sparkly shining sound was added with the dissolve transition to create a understanding that Omnia and I were ready for school only after taking a but of Dunkin's Donuts. The Final product of the commercial completely edited was 28 seconds. We are still deciding if we want to add background music to the whole commercial. Overall, did not face any major problems editing or filming. Talk soon!

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...

To begin the sound purely consisted of voice-overs from both Catherine and David, the former husbands and wife, along with sound effects. In specific, dramatic sound effects were used which is very common with...

A Comparison of 12 Monkeys & La Jetée

Heyyy blog welcome back. Prior to researching these two films I didn't realize how similar the two storylines were. I was distracted by the use of still images compared to video sequences to notice the plot. After watching “La Jetee vs 12 Monkeys… which is better?” I see that both films explore the idea of time travel and the consequences for your actions. La Jetee does this through the use of images to tell this provoking story. When creating our own short film we are able to take these to films and use them as inspiration. We want to incorporate more complex ideas that leave the audience thinking. I think our goal of our short film is to really throw the audience off track almost like a plot twist. We could maybe even incorporate the idea of a natural disaster just like La Jetee and 12 Monkeys. After watching the two films we also took the video style into consideration for our film. The La Jetee images are black and white so the film has an older, more dark feeling to it. For th...
