My blog shows that I have learned how to plan and edit films in Premiere Pro. It also shows that I have learned more about filmaking and what it takes to make a film. I have learned how to use different types of shots to show what I am trying to communicate through a film. I have also learned how to use music to enforce a mood in a film. Another thing it shows I have learned is how to use special effects. Early in the year, I learned the importance of storyboarding, planning, and scheduling. Storybparding and planning are important so you can see what the final film will look like. Scheduling is important so you can meet the deadline when the film is supposed to be done. In the cyberbullying video is when I realized the importance of these things because we were kind of having trouble with most of these and then we had to make them and it just made the process of making the film uch easier and faster. In the cyberbullying video is where I first learned how to edit video into a finished film with the help of my group members.Another thing I learned that is in most of my ideos was the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is followed by almost everyone in the film making business. It is like the golden rule of film making. I also learned how to appreciate other people's work and how to give constructive feedback to them.My experience in this class was great. I learned a lot from this class and I also met new people. I learned how to participate in a group and how to contribute also.

Murder At SBHS Final Project

This video was thought up by Mr. Alex Torres and egged on by all three of the remaining members about 2 classes ago. There is no solid script. Jake and Krystian pretty much just argued and confirmed lines at the filming of. Jake was the dead guy and the camera guy for the autopsy part. Alex was the phenomenal cop, his acting skill are great and should be an actor. Eddie was the anchor of reality for the film and kind of a comic relief. Krystian was the bad guy and mortician and filmed other scenes. We had a great time filming and editing. We hope the audience enjoys our film we think it’s our best one yet!!!

WAR music tells the story

Directors's Cut Group 28

Jabberwocky Stanza 2

We  used the "Bend" special effect best. I think this effect worked best because it made the picture abstract and somewhat unrecognizeable. The mood we were tryimg to communicate was a scary/cautious mood. We were trying to show that the fateher is trying to warn his son of the dangerous jabberwocky.

Special Effect 2

You can use this in a POV shot were a character is going crazy and his vision is messed up by using drugs or being hit in the head really hard. To get this effect you need to import a video clip onto the project panel. Then you need to edit the clip to your desired length in the source panel. Then you drag the video clip onto the timeline. After you need to open the folder called Video Effects under the "Effects". Then you open the folder "Distort" and you go down to the Lens Distortion effect and drag it onto the clip you want to add the effect for on the timeline. To edit the effect you go on the Effect Controls tab in the source panel and expand the Lens Distortion folder. Then you click on any toggle animation you want and mess around with the numbers until you get your desired effect.

Special effects 1

You can use this in a scary film to have a stronger effect of fear. To get this effect you need to import a video clip onto the project panel. Then you need to edit the clip to your desired length in the source panel. Then you drag the video clip onto the timeline. After you need to open the folder called Video Effects under the “Effects”. Then you open the folder “Stylize” and you go down to the Threshold effect and drag it onto the clip you want to add the effect for on the timeline. To edit the effect you go on the Effect Controls tab in the source panel and expand the threshold folder. Then you click on toggle animation and you add key frames to edit it however you want.

The reality of being unprepared

Thinking about Our Final Values Video

Positive comments
• The shots we liked where when it shows Boy 2 at an extreme close up of just his face looking around with his facial expressions as being affraid about the test hes gonna take. - Eduardo E. Ashley, and Sabrina
• We especially like the setting in an actual classroom. - Jacob D and Morgan D
• We especially like the close up shot of Kenny because it helped emphasize the idea that he is looking around and trying to look for someone to copy off of. - Michelle Hernandez and Blanca Ceja
• We especially like the shot of Kenny with his head down on his desk because it shows the feeling of being unprepared for something. - Isaiah S and Cesar J
• We especially like the close up shot of the students eyes, because it helped emphasize the idea that he was nervous and it also created suspense. - Taylor and Jose
•
Suggestions
• You could add to the resolution by putting a title of the exact point. - Michelle Hernandez and Blanca Ceja
• You can add to the resolution by showing the grade that the main character got. This would help give us the idea that he did bad on the test for not studying. - Jacob D and Morgan D
• One edit we would change was the the number of cuts made. We thought the out point was set to late. We noticed when the video starts it is a straight cut. We would have used a cross disovle because it would give a better effect. - Jacob D and Morgan D
• You could also add a clip that shows a calendar in his home that says TEST on (what ever day) and him rushing out of the house. he doesn’t look at the calendar to see what he has.- Taylor and Jose

The positive comments that were most meaningful to us were from Isaiah and Cesar. They told us that they liked the shot of Kenny because it helped emphasize the idea that he’s unprepared and, and that was helpful because it showed us that what we were trying to show in that shot was understandable by the audience. Another positive comment was from Taylor and Jose. They told us that they liked the shots of the extreme close-up of Kenny’s eyes because it helped emphasize the idea that he was nervous and that it created suspense, and that was helpful because it also showed us that the audience actually got what we were trying to show in that shot.
One of the best suggestions we got were from Michelle and Blanca
They suggested that we add a title of the exact point to add to the resolution. We agree with this suggestion, and our plan to address it is to try it out and see how it looks in our video.
Another of the best suggestions we got were from Jacob and Morgan.
They suggested that we can add to the resolution by showing the grade that the main character got and that this would help give us the idea that he did badly on the test for not studying. We agree with this suggestion, and our plan to address it is to think about if have time to record another scene to try out the suggestion.

Priorities rough draft

The values that we are trying to represent is priorities.
What I think my group has done well was the editing the videos sound
effects and music to fit the video.
We still need to film and then the new video into our video that's already in Premiere Pro.
We want to know if our shots fit well together in the video and if the music fits the shot.
A challenge that our group discovered was filming our actual script can be difficult if some of the recording takes place at another persons home outside of school. We are planning to modify since we did not record outside of school. We had a discussion on what the actors were going to say and what they were going to do. We have made a couple of scenarios that can replace the part that takes place outside of school. We are planning to take out the whole home part of the script and maybe change it so that it takes place in school and not outside of school.

OTS Project

Our group planned the shots keeping in mind the rule of thirds and to not resord towards the sun. We also tried to pick a spot were their would be less interuptions and noise form the other groups. Planning on how the shots are going to be taken need to be planned before you start shooting so you don't mess up by making up the shots on the spot and so you don't run out of recording time.
We did try to follow the rule of thirds because it gives us more control of what we want the audience to look at so they better understand what is going on in the shot and so they wont be distracted by other things in the shot that are less important.
The over the shoulder shots give the impression that the people are having a conversation or what the person might be looking at kind of like an POV shot. It works by having a camera shot over the shoulder of one person looking at another person.
The dialogue seems realistic in the final edit. The only challenge we had in the final edit were cutting the clip into smaller clips to get the conversation.
There is a dominant tone in our video. The dominant tone in our video is boring. We accomplished this by not showing any emotion in our video.
Another observation that I have about using over the shoulder shots is that it helps the audience place the character in their setting.
Others ideas that are emphasized to make effective videos are that having backround noice can sometimes be good in a shot and that facing the camera toward the sun is not good.
