Hi guys welcome back!!  Murder Mystery    This video took a lot of editing and hard work to become what it has. When watching, I hope you feel the horror and enjoy as much as I did while making it!!!  Love gio!!!

 Welcome back guys!!!! So todays blog is on a peer review. Peer reviews are important because the peer will see maybe something you wont. It gives a great perspective and can help your piece become better.  With my video I knew there was a lot that could be done but I felt as what I gave was pretty solid. When editing it was a little tricky but I overall overcame that obstacle. A challenging obstacle was more so the filming aspect. Getting the different angles and trying to get the dialogue right so everything could be somewhat perfect.  Peer Review Now when allowing my peer to watch the video I created I didn’t say anything and just showed them the video. This allowed for no bias and a wave of feedback that may have been altered. When getting feedback it is best for no altering opinions so the advice can help create something better.  While they watched the video they said it was overall great but had some ideas on what to change. First it was agreed that the editin...

 Welcome back!! Editing is a big part of any production process. When I edited the first time, there were a lot of changes made. I changed the brightness and lighting because of the way it was in the filmed videos. I also changed the sound and pitch and but background music over the dialogue. This was all for the best interest of each scene. Perfection is what I wanted the movie to be since the acting was not. Editing can fix what acting couldn't.  When I first finished editing it seemed like there was nothing to fix. After saving and rewatching I noticed there were a few things to fix. When I first watched even though on Cap-cut it said I made the time I didn't. This called for adding more to make the time. Once I added in another clip and edited it nice it seemed like the video was almost done. That is until I noticed the watermark. When I resaved the video then I went in the photos app and edited the saved video its self. I cut the ending watermark off as it’s a clip not pr...

 Heyyyy guys welcome backk!!! Now with editing there are a lot of different aspects as previously mentioned. In this blog im going to be explaining the different things I did to make the movie. Now in the beginning there is a scene of the title. This is important because to create this I had to make an introduction. The introduction videos of us talking did not make sense to have as the opening. It was shown that it would be better to create a video with the title in it so that it would be up front what the movie was called.  To create this, I wanted to give a scary vibe with the background and the text. For the text, I used a drippy font that most horror movies have. The font is what tells the audience the movie will be scary. Also the cover shot of the branches is a common sight for horror. Also making the text red also was important on tugging with the readers mind. Red is associated with horror and was only right that it was the color I used. When that was all done, creati...

 Hey guys, I am back!!  Now the movie genre chosen was horror. In horror the music chosen is crucial in scaring an audiene. Yes the acting needs to be great and give a real scary vibe but the music is a factor.  When watching Halloween, The Nun and IT what do all these movies have in common. If you said they all have some way of incorporating scary and suspenseful music into certain scenes then you would be correct. The music adds thriller and suspense. It plays with a part of the brain that brings the emotion out yet keeps you watching. The music I used was scary and suspenseful music. The research: Now to find the music was a little tricky. I searched on google ‘Scary music’. Now you may be thinking how would this have been tricky. When googling what I wanted, I had a certain idea in mind. I was not understanding the music coming up because it was not scary. It didn’t give the thriller aspect that most horror movies have which ours needed.  It was not scary so I ha...

WELCOME TO TODAYS BLOG Hi and I am back with another editing blog. Now even though it seems like there may be a lot of editing blogs, editing takes a while. Editing takes a lot if you want things to be perfect.  Another aspect of editing was the sound. In the videos, there was a lot of dialogue. Even though some of the videos needed the dialogue, I had to add music to it. This is important because the sound conflicts with each other so it is important to equalize them with each other. To do so you have to click on the video and then press the volume. This is important because it may take a minute go find the right volumes that go with each other. Editing is about trial and error. So at first I had the dialogue too high. This was important because it was ruining the quality and adding confusion. With the talking over the music, I could not understand what was going on.So then I realized I had to keep playing with the volume on the video and music until it was understandable. I reali...

 IM BACKK!! Now stated in the previous blog, editing is key. Every time I edit something I learn something new. As I said, editing is key to bring a movie together. Now I said I editing to make videos shorter but there is more to that. When filming, in the video there were phrases such as, cut and action being used.  This is important because it let which person in the scene know when to start. This was captured in the video and was also another reason I had to shorten it. In the movie, saying “Cut” and “Action” did not need to be captured. It would have thrown it off and made no sense to the film.  Another thing edited was the lighting. Even though it was light outside when filmed, I had to fix what the light captured. Since it was not too sunny but had light, some scenes were darker than others. Now I know even though it was horror and filmed in the day, why was that so. Well when editing, it’s much easier to fix something the sun ruined with the brightness then fix a d...
