Editing (Post 2)

We are nearly finished editing. We need to implement cuts and sound. We have a voice over which we will be embedding today. All of our filming is officially over with. This is a preview of our first green screen of the office: We decided that we want to use typewriter text for the title screen. We think that will capture the mysterious element of the film opening. We will have to splice the video several times and either cut out mistakes in filming or embed other shots we took to bring about suspense.

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...

We began filming with the green screen. It was confusing at first because we did not know how to transfer our video from our phone and upload it to Premiere Pro editing software but with the help of our teacher we figured it out. Then once we watched the video with the green screen background we realized that the lighting played a key role in the visibility of the background on the green screen. We had to refilm our original clip because our positioning impacted the quality of the background due to lighting issues. Much of this week was trial and error. We decided we liked using the green screen for the office scenes because it does help add a better sense of setting so we will continue to fine-tune our placement and editing skills.  We were able to practice with different shots and techniques to display emotion during the practice filming of our interrogation scene. Zoe, the suspect, was filmed with an extreme close up on her eyes darting back and forth to display nervousnes...

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. During the interrogation scene, we are interested in using an area in the corner of our classroom because the walls look plain and we could take close up shots. Plus, we would like to get creative with the crime scene and make it ourselves rather than projecting it onto the green...
