Teacher Feedback

1. Integrate an establishing shot

2. make the actors sit faster

Then Mr. showed me a Spoof Documentary American Vandal and it showed me about better ways of making people sit and how to do and establishing shot with a J cut included, the audio but the clips I was provided by my group was too soft for a J cut to be substantial.

American Vandal

This was after the feedback was implemented:

Thoughts: I think this was a great idea the establishing shot really sets the scene and lets the audience knows that we're in a school, and making the actors sit faster helps with pacing

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A problem I have found persistently during editing is the over exposure within the footage that my teammates sent, I have no idea if it's my editing software or their phones but it was a persistent problem I had to fix with all the tools I have.

Example of the video being normal in the video player (lots of others also had this):

Example of the problem inside premiere pro:

Solution I devised was using the effect Brightness & Contrast:

Thoughts: I have no idea why this happens, luckily I had options to fix it to maintain continuity within the video and between scenes.

After we send it back to Mr. for more feedback it was clear to him that it was heavily needed because he gave us a lot of feedback that was invaluable with improving our product

The numerous feedback he gave us:

Before the improvements:

After the Improvements were implemented:

Thoughts: If we didn't have that feedback I think this whole project would have been really difficult to work with as me as an editor personally, I NEED directions if I am to edit a video for someone. So the feedback was incredible is providing clear directions for improvement

Storyboard

 This blog post contains the storyboard for our documentary opening project, as a group we all contributed in giving our ideas, and Bams made the storyboard and this blog post.

This is a video that our teacher gave us to help with our storyboard, this video shows us all the details that we need to input so that, the whole team can understand what scene we are trying to get off from the storyboard and what camera angles, how long it needs to be, the edit, as well how the actor or things needs to be within that particular scene. 

It helped because :

- We easily learnt the basics from this video

- It shows that rough sketches can also be explained in detail with arrows and explanation of the scenes

( technical elements ). This was great because I was worried we didn't have enough time. After seeing this, I asked my teacher if we could also do a simpler version. He said as long as the first is in detail, the rest can be simple.

- The storyboard that we did is more detailed even when the sketch is all did quickly.

This is the storyboard that me and my team created for our crime documentary with all the details explained from the video, although this storyboard type takes too much time so, we won't have any time to do other stuff for our project thus, we did this other storyboard that is more less detail although, we did this storyboard very quickly.

This is the rest of the storyboard to explain further on what the next scenes should be this is more of a rough sketch unlike the storyboard we did previously which is more explained with the technical elements and description on what the scene is. In conclusion, this was the final products for our storyboard to get the main idea on what the crime documentary is going to look like.
