Blog Post #47: Editing - Part 1

The first thing I edited is the interview. This is because it would be easier to film the rest of the scenes based off the clips I already filmed. I also had a clear idea for what I wanted to incorporate in the interview and title sequence.

For every clip of him talking I increased the volume so it was clear. The max volume is not too loud, but a perfect noise level for the interview. Also, since I filmed inside an empty classroom, there was no background sound at all. Planning to make sure the room would be empty benefitted me greatly. If there was any background talking or audio it might have been hard to hear him. Another thing I did to the sound was create a sound bridge from the title sequence to the first clip of him talking. I discussed this in the other blog post. The sound bridge is visible in the second photo below. How I did it was I split the audio from the clip so I could adjust where his voice was without messing with the actual video. Then, I lined up the rest of the audio to match up with his mouth. I also cut out any times he messed up, such as stuttering, or bad answers, to have the best possible clips for the interview.


For the title sequence, I haven't filmed the scenes before the title yet. I have the music picked out for when I do add the scenes in, so all I have to do is unmute it and adjust it to fit in with the title sequence and sound bridge so it flows good. At first I didn't have an idea for the font, I wanted something creative, maybe cursive. Then I found the Vouge font and I think it fits perfectly. It helps attract the specific audience I want. People who are interested in fashion will recognize the font, and it also shows representation of the history behind Vogue and the brand name.

Blog Post #1: Final Project Idea

Image
For my final project I will be doing a documentary about fashion. Each episode will be based on something that influences fashion. Some ideas I have is pop culture, designer brands, culture, politics, celebrities, and music. I can look at magazines and movies for more references. I want my documentary to have a fun and creative style. Pop culture : there are many articles online about how pop culture and fashion are connected, and I can use these articles for research. Designer brands : top brands and designers are known for starting fashion trends and influencing pop culture. I can do an episode about how these iconic brands started trends. Examples: Vivienne Westwood, Balenciaga Culture : every culture has their traditional clothing, so I have many different topics and ideas to choose from on an episode about culture. Politics : political movements and ideologies have inspired fashion subcultures. Celebrities : similar to pop culture and designer brands, famous people have always inf...

Blog Post #8: Preliminary Exercise

Image
I used my cat as the posed actor for my video clips. Pan: The pan shot I used was to introduce the posed actor. It could be used as suspense to slowly begin to show the subject you are recording. It also allows the audience to see the background/environment that surrounds the actor. I could use this both on people (interviews) or when showing a wider view of a scene in my documentary.   Zoom: The zoom has a similar effect as the close up shot because it is showing my actor's expressions and close up details. It can also be used for the background/environment. It also makes the audience pay attention to a certain aspect you want because it is directing their attention to something. Close Up: A close up shot on actors is used to show their expressions and emotions. Because I used it on my cat, you could clearly see her expressions and the details of her face. This could be a good camera shot to use in a nature documentary to show close up details that you want the audience to notice....

Blog Post #5: Documentary Styles

Documentary M odes Expository documentaries involve extensive research. They include interviews, visuals, and narration that support the argument. Their purpose is to educate and explain. This is the basic and most common documentary mode. Observation documentaries are shot without any narration, commentary, and the viewer is left to interpret it in their own way. It is shot like a "fly on the wall" where the audience views the entire documentary without interruptions. Participatory documentaries have the filmmaker participating in the scenes or interviews while on screen. This includes an equal amount of capturing the interviewer and interviewee. Reflexive mode documentaries use interviews, narration, and visual metaphors to explore the relationship between the filmmaker and audience. A cinematographer will shoot behind-the-scenes style footage of the entire film making process, including editing, interviewing, and post-production. Poetic mode documentaries focus on emotions...
