Problems While Editing

 So, I've started the editing process. I've been working on solely editing for about a week though. I'm starting tog et very nervous about my time and managing it properly. I feel as though I have so much to do in such a short amount of time. Realistically, I know I still have around two weeks to finish and perfect my final task. However, with each clip I edit, I feel like time is going by faster and faster. In addition to this, I have other commitments that I might have to back out on so I give this project the attention it fully deserves. I volunteer at a museum in order to get my service hours for graduation. This is every weekend, all day both days. Because of this, I feel super tired when I get home from volunteering. Since I have school during the week and volunteering during the weekend, I'm starting to feel as if I don't have the time to devote to working on editing. What I plan to try out is volunteering only on Saturday. This will allow me to have Sundays to devote to working on editing and getting this project done. If I still feel as though I am running out of time, I will speak with my supervisors at the museum in order to let me take a weekend or two completely off in order to be able to get this project done, and done well. I hope that they will be understanding. I believe they will be as they understand I am still a high school student with school being my top priority. My parents are also in agreement that if at any time, my volunteer position is getting in the way of me doing my school work, I can take some time off in order to catch up on my school work instead of working at the museum. Besides that, I am very glad I took the time to learn more tips and tricks in Premiere Pro. I feel so much more able to create the vision I have. My toolset has been greatly expanded and I have been using many new techniques in editing my opening sequences.



Until next time, Danniella Miller signing off. :)

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Title Research: Lady Bird

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? This title sequence actually starts with the title of the movie and is a bit of a way into the movie. Instead of being at the very beginning like some of the other movies I've watched in this genre, this title sequence is at the end of the opening minutes. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? There is lots of imagery of church and the catholic school Lady Bird attends. There is lots of religious imagery and actions. There are many shots of Lady Bird's peers and then similar shots of Lady Bird doing something different or wrong.  What connotations do these images carry? These images are quite strict and heavy. Every image is showing a practice that must be done a certain way. If done incorrectly, even by accident, it could be grounds for getting in trouble, especially at a catholic school. Most of the focus is on Lady Bird, who seems to march by the beat of her own drum. Her not participating in some of th...

Editing together

 Today was the first day of straight editing. Because of the size of the file, it was really hard for us to share the videos to get editing started. We tried sharing it through our phones, but even with just a couple of videos, our storage got full. Through email, the videos wouldn't send. It was hard for us to share the SD cards, especially for me. I was using my dad's camera and SD card, and he uses them often for his own personal projects. Along with that, he had a lot of important information on the SD card, that could've easily been lost or accidentally deleted. A storage service ended up being the best idea for us, and we all already had google accounts, We came up with the solution of using Google Drive just to share the file, and once everyone had downloaded a copy of the video, we would delete it off the drive. This made it so everyone could get a look at the videos think about what we wanted to do with them and understand the progress of the film. As we've loo...
