Starting the editing process

 This is the start of the editing process. When we started this project we all decided together that it would be in our best interest to let Monzur be the man in charge of physically editing it. He had a lot of prior knowledge about editing apps and how to sink things together well. Knowing all of this we all came to the unanimous decision that with him taking lead it would come out the best. The last day of filming happened and we all were sending the videos that we had taken on our phones to each other to see what parts we would most want to use. I have a Samsung phone, and all of my group members have iPhones. So when sending the videos we had taken on my phone there was an obvious change in the quality and it became very pixilated and blurry making the footage unusable. This is when we had to start brainstorming what we wanted to do. We had tons of footage and but the best footage and shots we had been in the video on my phone. After doing some research we found that if we all uploaded our videos to the cloud it would fix the quality problem. To do so we had to download an app called mega and all individually uploaded the footage we had on our phones. Mega is a file storage app so it was simple once everything was uploaded there, Monzur could just get all the clips to his device in order to start actually putting them together. Though Mnzur was the one physically editing the clips we were all on a discord call watching it be done altogether. When watching the videos we all had really great ideas for what could be used and what shouldn't be used. It was actually a lot of fun, someone would have an idea for a clip and then we would all bounce off of each other and then Monzur would make this great idea we had into a reality. The best part was being able to see the editing happen and all of us point out little things that would make the transitions or scenes better. Monzur was live-streaming the whole process so we would all be able to see and help even if we weren't all in the same room. We started off with everything we had and removed clips that weren't good. Then out of what we liked there was plenty of footage left so we knew we would only have to film a little bit on Tuesday. Together we got through the first thirty seconds and were pretty happy with the outcome. The video has to be slightly over a minute so we still have quite some work to do.

Different Genres: Thriller

Thriller is a genre of film that is intended to scare with suspense Common camera angles, shots, and movements in a thriller: 1. Establishing shot- sets an eerie mood. 2. Tracking shot- can show someone being followed. 3. Close up- used to show the reactions of the characters and to build suspense 4. Tilt- can signify a supernatural being entering the screen 5. Over the shoulder- builds tension, can sometimes signify someone standing behind a person. Mis en scene in thriller movies: Costumes- usually regular clothes, could be farm clothes, its really based off of setting Lighting- dark, eerie lighting to not show it is bright and cheerful Actors- actors usually vary but the most common thing they do is scream and fight.

 Hi, my name is Keith and I chose this class because I have had many friends take it and I've heard great things about it. They were raving on how fun it is creating films and learning how to do different tricks in their filming. I also need a couple more Cambridge credits to get my diploma, so I thought I would try this out because of this class's great reviews. I expect to learn how to edit my videos to do all sorts of cool things such as cross cutting, shot/reverse shot, jump cuts, and many more interesting techniques. My goals are to be able to learn these techniques and create some really cool pieces of work. I want to keep these skills with me when I'm older because I think it is useful to know how to film. You never know where like can take you and who knows, I could end up becoming a film director. For this project, I chose to work with my buddy Jake. We've known each other since kindergarten. Ever since we met each other, we have just clicked. We would spend th...
