This is it! The Final Cut! The product both Addie and I can be proud of. Being with us since day one you have seen this project from start to finish. From where we started in January with a vague idea of what genre we wanted our movie to be to now where we haveContinue reading “One Day or Day One Final Cut”

Creative Critical Reflection Three
In this video reflection I addressed two questions by talking about how my production skills developed and how I integrated technology throughout this project. The project experienced mostly smooth sailing up until the point I was editing our final cut. That is when two major things happened. One of which was the COVID-19 outbreak leadingContinue reading “Creative Critical Reflection Three”
Creative Critical Reflection Two
In this reflection I addressed how our product would engage the audience and how it would later be distributed as a real media product. To do this I used the editing program Splice to record and edit a podcast discussing how I envisioned the brand of our product and how Addie and I would useContinue reading “Creative Critical Reflection Two”
Creative Critical Reflection One
Yes I know you are anxiously waiting for that final “product Addie and I can be proud of” and trust me it is coming, I just wanted to take this time to reflect on the work we have accomplished. In this reflection I focused on how our product challenged conventions and how it represents socialContinue reading “Creative Critical Reflection One”
Unpacking the Rough Cut pt.2
I can learn a lot from the movies I’ve made. That is why I am taking the time to break down my rough cut and determine what worked and what didn’t. In rewatching my rough cut I feel the video did not convey the overall plot of the movie as simply as I hoped itContinue reading “Unpacking the Rough Cut pt.2”
My Editing Struggles and Triumphs

Technology always seems to be ironic in the least delightful ways. But I was determined to persist with using the system because of the amount ofContinue reading “My Editing Struggles and Triumphs”
Unpacking the Rough Cut pt.1
I agree, no movie director can arrange the unexpected we encounter in our daily life, but Addie and I did our best to arrange our rough cut from the film clips we gathered from our two days of filming. Luckily I found we had more than enough footage to introduce the movie’s plot, despite usContinue reading “Unpacking the Rough Cut pt.1”
DaVinci Resolve and the creation of my Mona Lisa
I agree with Da Vinci’s statement about simplicity and therefore decided to choose a program that valued simplicity where I could edit sound, adjust speed, and color correct all in one place. This program was appropriately named DaVinci Resolve 16 and is a program both YouTubers recommended in the videos featured in my last post.Continue reading “DaVinci Resolve and the creation of my Mona Lisa”
What to Download
Now that we have acquired the footage we need it is time to begin editing, because as Garry Marshall states, “editing makes the movie.” Addie and I have decided that I should act as the primary editor for the film, given the fact that I have previous experience working with film editing programs. In additionContinue reading “What to Download”
Shooting Day 2
I hope this title sequence does not take 150 days to shoot, but we are taking it one day at a time. As we were getting ready to start shooting on our second day I realized that Addie and I needed some extra help. Since we had created a team with just the two ofContinue reading “Shooting Day 2”
