Editing the Clips

Today is April 4th, 2022. This is the first part of editing the clips I filmed so far. Being the director and the editor is turning out to be really helpful. Editing is very easy to me because I have a vision in my head and I am able to bring it to life. I can make the project look almost exactly how I envisioned it in my head. Today, I had to keyframe the roof scene into the scene of Monzur running away from Juan, the zombie. The scene of Juan getting hit had to be sped up, as while filming, Monzur didn't swing the stick hard enough to portray hurting him. I didn't have the music file saved and I accidentally deleted the music. I didnt have the music file saved on my computer and so I had to go into my YouTube history and filter out the royalty free music that I viewed for the project. It wasnt that difficult finding the music I had used, but having the music along with the narration of Monzur was a difficult task.. Although challenging, a short 10 minutes, and the problem was fixed. I really only had to lower the volume of the music so it was still there, just not overpowering anything else. I had to add a filter to the flashback scene so the audience would know that this scene was a flashback. In the flashback, there is a sound that I had to edit out as it occurred a couple times and was loud, but it was easy to take out.

End Scene Film

Today, October 7, I went out to the baseball field with my partner again. This time, I was there to redo one scene. I was also there to shoot the end scene of my partner walking away with the bat on his shoulder. In the classroom, before I left to record, I got tape and re-taped a stick that I made for filming. It's a piece of wood with a GoPro mount on the end. I had to redo the tape so the mount wouldn't fall off. Today was a PSD day, so I only had about 30 minutes to record those scenes. I went to the dugout and put the same clothes I wore last production day. My partner had his clothes folded, ready to go, on his bed, but his mom took them and put them in the wash, so he didn't have them. This meant that I had to be the one in the end scene. I figured it wouldn't make sense if I were the one stepping up to the plate in the scene we had to redo, so we are just going to keep that already shot scene in. I got the bat we used and a couple baseballs to hit. My partner th

 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

 My partner and I filmed for 2 class periods, but the second day was cut short because of a PSD. After I finished filming, I went home and uploaded the files to my computer. In an earlier blog, I stated that I didn't take that many shots, but there were about 150 files. I did not realize I took that many videos. It took quite a while to download all of those files, but luckily they were small, so it wouldn't take me too long to sift through. I put all of the clips on Adobe Premier. The editing process was very tedious. I was having to delete many of those 150 clips and merge them. My partner and I had previously went through audio clips to find the right song to overlay in the video. I found one and put it in the commercial. I also had to find the transitions that fit best with our vision and to make it look sporty and clean. So, the first night I edited, I put the best of the clips together and it was not that pretty. The transitions looked awful and eventually got it to look
