Movie Opener Final Cut

https://youtu.be/M2t9YNce1HI

Evaluation of My Peer Reviews

The main feedback that I received touched base on the audio and acting. In the beginning of the opener, the music cut out and left part of it mute. Also, the peers strongly believed that there should be more emotions in the actors. This would make it more believable.

I understand the suggestions and agree. I am not the best actor and it was difficult staying serious while acting. Kevin and Josh are both very goofy people who were joking during the film. I gave Josh a script and he could not follow it.

I may refilm the parts of the opener where there is acting. I may use a different actor who is more serious. Also, I will add music in the beginning and may shoot that part from different angles to make it more interesting. I could also add more camera angles and more information to the disease.

3 Days- First Draft

Editing Week 2

 

I did not make any changed to the titles and fonts that I used in the first week. I did use a sound fade when transitioning into a conversation. 

I used an over the shoulder shot during the conversation with the doctor. This way you can see the girls face when she realizes that she only has 3 days to live. I also used a Point of View shot when the girls lover looks at the note.

I included a voice over when the boyfriend reads the note. This way, the audience knows that the girl wrote the note for him. I also added hospital sounds during the hospital scene.

Problems that I encountered was the time that it took me to edit sounds. It took me some time to find out how to trim the sound.

I took my time to navigate the app and properly learned how to edit and insert the sound.

This week, I took about 3 class periods to edit. It was very time consuming to insert and edit the sound. I also made sure that the sound and clips were at the correct duration.

I added the sounds of the hospital after realizing how difficult it was to portray the area as a hospital. This background noise will help match the ambiance of an emergency room, so I added it. 

Editing Week 1

 

I decided to add the movie opener title in the first shot. It is "3 Days" in dark pink font. I used pink because it is correlated with love and romance. I used another title "EMERGENCY" at the top of the doors to help the scene appear more like a hospital. It was in red just as in a hospital. Also, I added "The Next Day" when the girls boyfriend found the note. This helps give a sense of time. 

I used different camera angles when filming. The beginning shot is a boom as the camera is following the two people holding hands. The camera angle and level changes throughout the shot.

I used cut transitions for each shot.

I the audio effects I used in the beginning of film editing was music. It is nondiegetic music and was entered after filming. I used "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles since it is a happy love song.

The main problem that I encountered while filming was the app that I usually use. I am familiar with Premiere Pro but I no longer had access to it. I had to find a different editing app that I was comfortable using. I used InShot and it worked great. I took extra time learning the features and how to navigate this app.

This week, I spent about 20 minutes a day editing. The first day, I took time to properly upload the videos to the app. The following day I began considering the music that I wanted to use and different transitions. 

I was the only person that edited my video.

After adding all of the shots into the editing app, I decided to add more to the conversation with the doctor. 

Filming Week 2

 This week I gathered all of the props needed for this film. I was able to find a full doctors uniform including scrubs, a white coat, and a stethoscope. We went out to the field where we wanted to shoot the opening shot. We considered different shots and angles during this week so I could decide which ones were best for this film. 

Here is one shot that I was considering.

I also chose how I wanted the note to be displayed on the door for Isaiah to find. I also came up with the idea for me to do a voice over of me reading the note as he looks at it.

Overall, this week has been very productive and I am proud of the spontaneous brainstorming.
