Editing (Post 1)

This week we finished filming and began editing. We had to re-shoot two scenes because we wanted to capture a better use of emotion within our time constraint. Using the green screen was a fun experience and we had to practice adjusting the pigmentation in Premiere Pro editing software. Here is Astrid and I finishing our filming in front of the green screen: And this is a photo of us editing our green screen footage and applying the correct backgrounds: Next week we will work with sounds. We want to have a mix of digetic and nondigetic sound in our movie opening. We will have a voice over of Astrid's thoughts during the footage of the crime scene to help display a flashback scenario. We have yet to discuss what font we will be using in our movie, but we have a few titles picked out which we like, one including: "Law and Disorder" because our movie is sort of a mystery spoof. We haven't discovered any major issues in our editing yet, despite having to re-shoot...

Beginning To Film (post 1)

Astrid and I started to find places that we wants to film each scene of our story board. My teacher, Mrs. Henderson, suggested that we try to be as original as possible. We thought it would be a unique idea to incorporate the green screen into our movie opening to better portray the setting. We are very excited to do this and picked out several green screen backgrounds which help establish setting and time. Here is a green screen background of the office that we liked:  Here are pictures of us practicing our scenes with the green screen:  We thought it would be best to have a mix of green screen and normal filming in our movie opening because it would incorporate different types of shots.

Movie Opener Final Draft

Law and Disorder: Click Here To View Film Opening *Note: Due to the unforeseen circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the mandatory school closure from 3/9/20-6/3/20, my partner and I were unable to make the few edits we wanted to change in our final draft. If we had been at school, we would have tried to export the video from Premiere Pro and re-upload the video to YouTube in hopes of a quality improvement. Furthermore, we would have added a close up of Astrid (Detective Santos') face during the interrogation scene. Despite being unable to make these changes due to the lack of editing software and green screen capabilities at our homes, we are very pleased with the product of our movie opening. Astrid and I worked very hard on it over the past few months. We learned a lot about how camera angles, editing techniques, sound, and lighting play a pivotal role in film making. I hope you enjoy watching our film opening!
