production blog: editing the day away!

Hello! Once I relaxed from 2 very stressfull days of filming, jordyn was finally able to edit! Firstly, we sat together and watched all of the final clips that we decided on using, and temporarily using IMovie to combine them together. From experience, Jordyn has stated that she perfers IMovie to other editing apps like Divinci Resolve 18, IMovie being much more simple. While jordyn worked on the actual editing, Aja and I gave feedback and opinions on different effects and transition ideas. Aja was very helpful in getting the exact moment that the clips needed to be cut at. Jordyn and i made sure we had all of the clips combined before she switched apps to Davinci Resolve 18. After all of this,we still had about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of time to use up. Then, Jordyn downloaded all of the clips, and sent them to my computer to edit on. While it is my laptop, we decided Jordyn would edit on it so that we dont lose it on a school computer. Before even starting to edit, we promptly made sure to back up our work to mu hard drive. To lose anything at this point, would be terrible so Jordyn made sure to keep saving her work every so often. While this platform has gotten easier to use, it is still not very trust-worthy in our eyes, but you can see the progress we've made below.

production blog: Sound off 1, 2!

Along with editing, having good sound quality is super important to this project. That is why I wanted the scores in this film to be perfect. To do this, I spent hours a day trying to come up with the best compisitions of music I could think of. I made sure each one matched the scenes emotional value to a "T". Using the recording studio app, Garage Band, I could record music from my guitar, key board, violin and even my sound board. This didn't come without its own set of issues, however. To record sound into the app, you need a USB port adaptater to connect to a 1/4th inch tip sleeve input. I already had both of these things, but i was concerned on how i was going to add in a violin. This is because it dosent have a tip sleeve input which is what brings sound from the instrument to the recording app. This is where I had to get creative. I dropped an airpod into the violin's F-hole (where the sound comes out) and recorded sound from my airpods into Garage Band. With t

title research: always shrine

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? The titles shown are the names of the cast, producers, writers, and directors. They also show the studios that produced the film. For Example in this film it is “Visit Films” and is associated by “Salem St.Entertainment”. 2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) The images in this opening sequence are extremely fitting for the genre of the movie. Most of the shots are extreme close-ups. This fully focuses on the actress's face. All of the shots hyper-focus on the unnerving acting. This immediately shows the audience that something is wrong. Many of the shots are unfocused and constantly moving as well. This is connotated with vulnerability, almost as if the viewer is running from something. Therefore, this instills fear or suspense in the viewer. 15 / 15 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tel
