Production Blog: Finishing Touches


    Hello fellow viewers! My group and I have edited our audio! We ran into a few problems tho. Firstly, in some of the shots, the real audio was too low. We brainstormed and wondered if we should do a voiceover for these scenes. We then decided to not do that and to just put the audio up to 100%. This slightly fixed the problem. Not perfect but it's a solution. We also ran into a problem with the song for the alarm. The editing software wanted us to purchase the song but we did not want to do that. We then decided to do a voiceover for the song on iMovie. This worked perfectly. We then re-watched the short film a million times lol. We wanted to ensure each scene was synced perfectly with the sound. We also added text for the opening sequence. This was a bit difficult because the text wouldn't align properly. This caused us to have to move everything over again. We also had to re-shoot a scene. We had to do this because the actor's hair changed and it didn't look as smooth as it was supposed to. We re-shot the scene then put it back into the short film. Other than that, everything is on track.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
 Short Film  Today I watched the short film 9. This is a seven-minute-long animated short film. I really enjoyed watching this short film. The characters were really unique. I honestly liked the rag doll's appearance of some and the robotic appearance of others. The setting was also very unique and cool. It had a post-apocalyptic feel and somewhat reminded me of Wall-e. The sound is what really made an impact on me most though. There was no dialogue in the short film. The only sound really heard is diegetic and score. The lack of sound helped set the mood of the short film a lot. It made moments feel more scary and suspenseful. The sound of the robotic spider characters made me feel as if I was inside the film. The plot was interesting too. The main character is a rag doll-like with a 9 on its back. 9 seems to have had a mentor or a friend in the past. 9's friend has the same appearance but with a 5 instead of on its back. The mentor/friend seems to have saved 9 and died at th...

Short Film Research : Nursery Rhymes

Image
   The short film "Nursery Rhyme" was literally amazing. It was around 5 minutes long and every second had the viewer questioning what was to come next. it begins with a man singing the famous "old McDonald" nursery rhyme, shirtless, in front of a farm. The camera begins to pan left and each turn reveals something crucial to why the man is singing the song. As the camera pans, you can see that a car crash has taken place and the lady driving the vehicle has died. It is then revealed towards the end that the man was singing the "old McDonald" nursery rhyme because the baby of the woman who died was crying. Sound The diegetic sound was used within this short film. You can hear the man singing the nursery rhyme, and as the film progressed other diegetic sounds are played as more of the car crash scene is displayed. This is related to the mystery genre because the man singing an old nursery rhyme shaking and shirtless with no context created suspense throughou...

Starting the Final Task

Image
    Greetings, my name is Jheanelle Shand. I am currently in the 10th grade.  I am an intelligent, caring, and dependable person. For the final task, I have decided to work by-myself. I have chosen to work by myself for a multitude of reasons. For starters, I know what I want best. Some of my partners may not be able to understand the concepts that i might have in mind. So ultimately, if I work by myself i will be able to get the product that I most want with no hassle. Also, if I work by myself I have to ability to create any time schedule that I desire. Plus I am able to switch the time schedule at will. I also do not feel pressured to impress anyone, besides Cambridge, while filming/editing this film. I will be able to stick to the vision that I have and not have to change it due to any other opinions. Also, I generally work better by myself at times. I love having the ability to only depend on myself. It causes less stress, even though it is more work. I wil...
