I Cannot Believe I Forgot This…


In my excitement of finishing filming all the necessary scenes and even the refilming of certain scenes, two very important scenes of the opening sequence somehow escaped my mind. I truly cannot comprehend how I let this slip my mind, but I unfortunately did. I skipped over filming the scene where I am writing in my journal. I also did not record the voiceover accompanying the clip. I have no idea how I managed to skip over filming such an important part of the opening sequence. I believe it was my excitement to finish filming paired with me skimming over my storyboard that caused me to skip over this scene! Thankfully I realized I had accidentally skipped over the scene before it was too late. I was beginning to edit the opening sequence. I was piecing all the clips together, as I usually do. I was finishing putting all the clips in order before I added in any transitions or any further editing when I noticed something strange. I was missing a good chunk of time from my opening sequence! I spent a good deal of time completely confused. I was looking back into my camera roll frantically. I assumed I had misclicked and missed adding in a clip into iMovie. However, to my confusion, I couldn’t find this missing clip. I began to panic, searching through every single video clip I had until the possibility that I had forgotten to film a clip dawned on me. I grabbed my storyboard and went through every clip I had on iMovie, and realized I was missing the very beginning of my opening sequence. Since it was earlier in the day that I had caught this mistake, I was able to film the scenes and record the accompanying voiceover with the last of the bright pale sunlight. Although I did have a good laugh once I realized what I had done, it did scare me quite a bit. I have learned to not skim but to carefully and slowly look through each clip and compare it with the storyboard, to ensure things like this do not occur.

Title Research: Cargo - Innocence Lost

1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?  Which ones? There are 11 titles displayed during the opening sequence. These titles included names of the  producers, directors, editors and the two studios that produced the film,  2.  What connotations do the images carry?  ( how  do you they make you feel) The connotations of the images are extremely explicit and direct. They force the audience to feel the pain, vulnerability and loneliness that victims of sex trafficking often feel. It instills a sense of uneasiness and fear into the audience, thanks to the rawness of the opening sequence. There is little room for interpretation, which further pushes the perspective that the director and title designer want to make clear.  3.  How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?  (Can you tell what genre the film is) The genre of the film is made evident. The genre of the film is a d...

Film Review

Image
For the film review, I had two people review my opening sequence. I had two classmates review the opening sequence. I choose to have these two classmates specifically review my opening sequence for a few reasons. These classmates and I do not know each other very well and they are both in a higher grade level than me. I did this to ensure there is little to no bias toward me and my work. I also did this to ensure there will be an honest critique. I showed them both the video separately and asked that they give their opinion, along with any changes they deemed necessary. The two classmates both enjoyed watching my opening sequence. They both said that it was well put together and that it made perfect sense. A critique I got from one of the classmates was to make the beginning of the opening sequence more concise. This was so that viewers would be able to better understand what the main character was trying to say. She was specifically referencing the voiceover, which I completely agreed...

Audio Issues are Solved!

Image
Today, I continued the work I had left from the day previous. I believe it was a good idea for me to leave the editing for another day. During the day in between that I did not edit, I was able to find a few solutions to my troubles. I watched a few tutorial videos on how to utilize sound in iMovie and how to maneuver the iMovie sound settings. I found this to be extremely helpful. I even learned a few new tips. I applied the knowledge I learned and used it while editing. I can say that this made editing feel like smooth sailing. Through the videos I had watched, I realized I had been making various mistakes. Some of these mistakes included me not holding the audio blocks long enough when I wanted to move them. Another mistake was me not knowing how to edit the audio blocks to create the fading effect. This took a few tries, as well as a few tutorials to figure out how to do. However, once I figured it out, I realized how easy iMovie is to maneuver and utilize. The fade feature on the ...
