Final Film Link

Ultimately, our group decided not to change our film due to the nature of the comments that we received on our film. For example, one comment suggested to "stabilize some of the scenes" to remove shakiness. However, as part of the creative vision for this film, my group intentionally allowed the shakiness to make the film seem frantic, as that is how the main character was meant to feel. Another comment requested that we shorten the first scene of the film, however again, as a team we decided that the length of the "man running" scene was important to establish the setting and dark mood of the film. The only other confusion was over context, however our team wanted to leave the beginning of the film with less context to encourage viewers to "continue" watching to find out exactly why the boy was being targeted.

Editing Week 2

In this image, our team is selecting a font to begin putting title words on our film. There was a long list of fonts, but we ultimately ended up choosing  the font "arial" due to its simplicity and easiness to see. We want the intention of our film to be clear, as well as the credits to be clear, thus this font worked the best to clearly represent our film.

In this film, our team is putting words on the film in a tracking manner. Our film is very dramatic and action oriented, thus our words will be moving across the screen to follow the action of the film. One team member began to write out the words and then paste them onto the screen, allowing the words to move across the screen.

In this image, Maddie and I are working on cutting down the length of some of our shots. In the filming process, we did not realize how monotonous some of our shots would feel, so we had to shorten some of the ongoing shots to maintain viewer interest in the film.

Editing Week One

In this image, I am transferring videos from my phone to the computer to begin editing. I plugged my phone in and created a folder on the computer from my iPhone video files.

In this image, Maddie is "scaling to frame size". Sometimes, in the process of transferring videos from the phone to the computer, the videos scale on a smaller level than they were filmed. Through pressing "scale to frame size" all of the videos turn into a size that is more accessible to work with and shows the entire shot.

In this image, Maddie is color correcting the shots in the film. Maddie added blue tones to the film to further the sad, dreary feeling that we are attempting to encompass in our murder mystery film.
