Post-Production 1 "Brainstorming"

 After reviewing the suggestions given to us by our peer's reviews it was time to get to work on perfecting our film. Like before we decided to use PremierPro to make our edits. I mainly focused on smoothening out the transitions for the time being in case we came up with an intuitive idea that could better our film. 

The smoothening out of the transitions was not an easy task, but together my group and I completed it. Creating a perfect transition never got old. Every time we achieved the split-second task, we celebrated to its perfection.

While we still had time I wanted to allow us to be able to creatively think out the correct path we wanted to take to make our film the best it could be. We also decided to remove 2 clips so far to save time for other more important clips that we had in mind. 

So, currently, those are the only changes we have made to our film but there are most definitely going to be major changes coming to better our film.

Peer Review

Last week we did our peer reviews on our portfolio film products. I was very pleased with the feedback we received from the class. I was fairly confident in our products but the peer review strengthened that feeling even further.  The majority of my classmates congratulated my group but we also received important criticism. One of the main points that we were suggested to work on was the clarification of the mother in the film. It wasn't clear to everyone that the main character's mother is dead. We received feedback as to how to fix it.  The best suggestion we received was to add a memorial candle next to a picture of the dead mom.  Another valuable suggestion that we received was to make him look more shaken up near the end of the film.  In addition, we were told to possibly take out some clips of him walking home because it took a lot of time. This way we could also add to the middle and end parts to strengthen the plot.  We also received a lot of positive cr...

Post-Production 2 "Filming and Editing"

 Now that we are nearing the deadline of our film submission film date, we have completed the final draft of our movie. As hoped, we came up with an intuitive idea that we believe will take our film to the nect level. The main problem with our film was that it was hard to understand exactly what happened and what happened with the main character's mom. To solve this problem, we made it more apparent that his mother passed away and recorded a shot with a dolly shot that moved towards a picture of his passed mother and a memorial candle lit near it. We used a tool called a Gimbal for the shot which is a pivoted support mechanism that allows for rotations and still camera work.  We also added flashbacks of the accident that caused his mother's death towards the end of the 2 minutes when the main character is "tripping". The photos taken were edited in Photoshop in which different types of blurs and other adjustments were used to make the images more connected to the stor...
