production blog editing

Today i starting the editing process. I began it by first doing research. I had to reasecrh what editing software would be thebest to use. Multiple scenes needed a split screen so i had to factor that in to. I also needed an option that did not cost money. On previous projects i used Imovie. How ever to complete the image we are going for with this movie we need to use tools imovie does not have. So i had to weigh out other options. There are many editng softwares avalible online. After looking through online and assesing my own values to it. I decided to go with i movie. Overall, it seemed to be the most conveinet option. Then the next part was learning how to use the software. Becuase of my history with i movie i had to learn a new software. TO do this i watched youtube tutorials. After learning the basics like how to add videos and sound. Then i had to learn a major part of the process for me. How to create the split screen look. To do this, first you need to increase the number of tracks. Then you remove auto track sync. Then just drag your clips in.

Peer review

the last step is peer review. Now that i finshed editing all i had to do was get feedback, and fix what needed to be fixed. teh first people that wastched was my group. Naturaly. Then i showed my parents. Then lastly my friends. And my friends parents. the reception was great. But i encourageed them to be more honest. There were some easy fixes. One of them was the score. It was a little lackluster. Becuase i never got the rights to the song i wanted to use it was a struggle. I had to look through royalty free music. BUt it all seemed so bland. Like an ad. not a movie.SO i went back and looked more. I decied that the score with the use of no sound. And diegetic noises i could create more emotion. I finshed up editing and showed them once again. Much better.

This shows emotion is the charcters. Another common angle used is the dutch tilt. THis creates a sense of uneasiness for the audience and foreshadows to what might happen next. Over the shoulders shots are commonly used to. They show equality between the charcter, adn even though they are fighting, they are equal to each other. The lighting used is dark, creating a menacing and dangerous mood symbolizing the jokers character to the audience. Batman was dressed in his superhero coastume which is all black to create fear, adn whn he was not wearing his batman costume, he was wearing a dark suit, to still keep the dar mood. The dark mood was also elevated by the setting. Low, dark lights and rain were added to the scenery of a tall city. The acting was very serious as comomn for the genre. Props used were weapons,...
