Production Blog: Editing

Hey everyone! I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog. This time I'll be discussing the editing process of this commercial. When we had just finished filming, I was at first eager to edit it. Since I have an interest in filmmaking, I know that editing is and essential skill. Originally I had suggested that each of us edit it on our own and we compare them. After this we would either choose the best one, or include aspects of all of them. Ultimately, my teammates decided that we were better off all working together to make one video. Unfortunately, after my teammates had decided when they would edit, I learned that I wouldn't be able to make it. Last minute, my parents told me that I had to attend the 60th wedding anniversary of some family members. While my teammates went to Rhys' house, I had dinner with my family. While I was at dinner Rhys ended up being the one to do most of the editing. We had decided beforehand that this was the best choice because Rhys has editing experience. The first thing Rhys did was download the clips from the SD card in the camera. After this, he organized and ordered the clips chronologically. Rhys also cut the clips until he could find the perfect amount of time, exactly 30 seconds. Once everything was assembled they made the finishing touches. First Rhys changed the color of the clip to make it more cinematic, then Daniel recorded voice over that Rhys added in. All of this was done with DaVinci Resolve 17. Next time I hope to be a bigger part of the editing process than I was able to here.

Movie Conventions Research: Death on the Nile (2022)

Image
I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's research into the mystery movie: Death on the Nile. This movie sticks to the conventions of mystery movies as it has many common things that you might see in other mystery movies . Death on the Nile has things like foreshadowing, a “Whodunit” plot where the audience is trying to fi gure out who did the crime, and it is not revealed until the very end of the movie . It also holds an “Amateur detective” like plot, as the main character, Hercule Poirot, is an amateur detective who is not a member of law enforcement, and h e takes it upon himself to solve the mystery and is motivated by his sense of justice and his desire to bring the killer to justice . The movie creates a suspenseful atmosphere through music, lighting, and camera angles. The scenes that take place on the Nile River add to the sense of tension and danger, as the characters are isolated and at the mercy of the killer . "De...

The Start of my Final Task

Image
Welcome back everyone! This is the first blog post of my final task. If you're new, I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome to my blog. For this final task, we are making the first 2 minutes of a full length movie. This is meant to introduce the viewer to the story, and interest them enough to continue watching. I'm very exited to finally get to do this project. Now, I'm also more sure about my role in this process. Acting seems to not really be for me. I feel really awkward and uncomfortable on camera. I'm also not a big fan of editing. I'll do it when necessary, but it definitely gets boring sitting behind a computer dragging videos around. This actually somewhat surprised me, as I do enjoy using similar programs for static media, like PowerPoint. I definitely enjoy filming, especially when I have a little creative control. Despite this, I think I get the most enjoyment out of directing. That ability to direct people where to go and what to do never gets old. It ...

Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

Image
  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's overall plan for filming our title sequence. Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the location participants health and schedule of our final project. For our pitch to work we need a dark setting with mysterious vibes. A location I think would be perfect is right near Daniel's house. It was a street with no lights and there are usually no people around. It has the perfect dark and mysterious feel that we are looking for. A backup location would be very easy to find for us. The reason for this is because me and my group mates all have an area where we can film. We all have a place that we feel would really suit the plot for our film. We just decided on Daniel's house because it was easiest to get to and made the most sense for us. The next thing that we need is participants we plan on having some of our friends fill in but have Rhys be the main character. We have asked our frie...
