Post-Production: Visual Editing

Hello everyone,

Editing in film is a process that consist of arranging and modifying the shots taken from production. This used to create a finished film. It allows filmmakers the ability to craft a story and control the pacing to keep the audience engaged. The main purpose of this is to make sure the filmmaker idea/story are presented to the audience in a clear way.

Me and my teammate used editing to approach storytelling by including the title, credits, company production logo, color, and theme. To do this I used WeVideo as my editing tool. Here I was able to cut some scenes and add transitions, so my scenes casually flowed with the next scene. I added some Jump cuts to keep my audience engaged.

Since my group just consisted of me and one other person, we decided for me to be the primary editor. I did all of the editing, but if I had a question, I would ask my partner to help me. For example, I would ask her which type of transition she would like better or when I should cut of this shot. Editing was not a simple task to do, it required a lot of patience and technique. The greatest difficulty I faced was with the time. I had to finish before the deadline, but every shot I did took so long since it was my first time doing it. In the end, we were able to finish in time.

What I mean by this is that it is easier to find out the meaning of a media text or a post.

It also helps me to choose what media platform I use more wisely. Studying media studies taught me what someone's intended effect is for their media product. For example, when scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, you will see a variety of different users. Some just do it for the likes and others do it fun, while some want to spread awareness of a certain topic. My favorite media product are movies. Watching movies keeps me entertained and at the same time helps me to relax. I feel like most teenagers would like to watch movies because it's a way for...

Preliminary Exercise 5: Introduction to Color in Film - Secondary Colors

As I have mentioned in the previous blog, color in film is very important. Color is separated into multiple categories such as, primary colors, secondary colors, warm colors, cool colors, and black/white. Today I would be focusing on secondary colors. Secondary colors are green, orange, and purple. Color in film is used to evoke certain emotions from the audience. Could sometimes be used to juxtapose against one another to send a message, creating dramatic irony. Colors help to elicit psychological reactions, draw the attention to the importance of the details in a frame, set the mood and tone, and represent character traits. For this part we got scenes from various movies that had the lighting as secondary colors. We analyzed the colors and explained as to why the cinematographer would add this specific color. We also made to sure to explain what the color was supposed to evoke from the audience. Such as if the scene was supposed to convey a pity, sympat...
