Intention (SMART Goal)

By March 2nd, as part of team 4, as an editor, I will control color and learn how to edit with film language by using The Visual Story by Bruce Block by the end of post-production, Session 4.

Skills Commentary

I edited the film together and had to replace some audio tracks with ADR. Then for controlling color which was my smart goal, I put a black and white filter over the film to give it more of a dark comedy feel making the film more serious than it actually is. Also since the background was green it was a little distracting so the black and white smoothed everything out.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

During Pre-Production as a team, we all went to the filming location to plan out the shots, lighting and re-wrote some of the scripts to make it better.

Reactions to the Final Version

“Concentrate on what we did well and rather than what we did bad”

-Eric

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

The finished film was good, I thought I did a good job editing for the most part except that some of the ADR didn’t match the scenes sometimes and was unsynchronized.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned that as a part of a team I should communicate with the cinematographer that the lighting should be a bit brighter if we were going to put a black and white filter over the film because in the finished product some shots were a bit dark.
