My thoughts on editing!

I made it!

Let me get this straight, the program I am using is Adobe Premiere Pro 2023. It's a amazing software to edit with and overall do countless of things with the software. When I downloaded, to say the least I was naive. Bare in mind that I never have used this software ever. I even thought "I am Adobe Photoshop certified I should be fine" the whole time while downloading Premiere Pro since it is made by the same company. I was wrong! I struggled the past couple of days. I had to look up tutorials on the simplest things. Things like the scale of the video, which I didn't know you had to do until I imported all the footage. I tried to look for loop holes but I couldn't find any viable ones that would work. So while editing the shots together I had to look up a couple of things so this whole thing can come together and actually work.

Since I looked up tutorials on YouTube and other platforms I missed the thing that would torment me for 30 minutes. There was this thing called the Effects Control Panel, it is easily the thing that is the most important panel. I looked for it for 20 minutes and I couldn't find it! So I looked on the internet and the information was outdated. So, I took the long way; go on Adobe Photoshop and see where all these panels are. I felt so demoralized right after because it was right in front of me the whole time. I just had to click windows and Effects Control. I still think of it and it's the bane of my existence now! I will forever remember where this panel is. After from this point, everything well, sometimes there was things I needed to look up but luckily I found the Effects Control Panel so it made things 10 times more easier.

I have a new respect for editors now. I found this a nice learning experience and I will forever remember it since it brought me multiple troubles along the way.



Signing Off,

Comparing Le Jetée, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

   Time to analyze! Both films did an amazing job at conveying their story. The audio in La Jetée by Chris Maker helps the visuals of the film appear open. Using audio in short films will be a great aid since again you have a time frame. Using these aspects of films that is usually disregarded will be the key to convey emotions, help set the scene, and progress the plot. 12 Monkeys by Terry Gilliam is inspired by La Jetée which makes the plot intresting. 12 Monkeys uses a red hearing which creates a twist in the film. Right after we find out a majory revelation that makes the auidence in disbelief. 12 Monkeys took risks and told a story whether it can be compared to La Jetée is question due to La Jetée itself. Using sound will be a great help to me and fowarding the plot. I will be using it, and along with using red herrings possible or something in the same category.  Using weird ideas will be your best friend in this. For instance, La Jetée uses a narrator which is an i...

The Eternal Daughter  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?      The Eternal Daughter title card, A film by Joanna Hogg, actor and actress credit, produced by,  co producers, and editor. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     A car on a road, and trees in a bunch, greyish brown background and grey background with a title card. 3.  What connotations do these images carry?       It is slowed to makes you feel anxiety. The sequence is gives you anxiety and suspense that you want to wait until it stops.   4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?     By putting up a very hazy scene throughout the introduction, the movie creates a sense of the genre. It has a hazy beginning that makes viewers uncertain of what is happening and what is happening. Suspense can result from this, which contributes to the genre's sense of adventure, fantasy, and action ...

Alone!

The real question now is; I am alone this time around?   I am working alone this time around. I was planning to work with people but misunderstandings occurred and it didn’t work out. I am working; which to me is sorta of terrifying but I know I can do it, I did it once I can do it again. I do have a couple of ideas already. This is the main reason why I wanted to work with a group; ideas. I sometimes can’t really think of concepts since it takes me awhile but with other people you have someone to bounce off of. I get ideas in a state of panic, which is concerning but I did come up with an idea. I want to make new ones just in case this idea I do have isn’t what I wanted or it doesn’t turn out well.    This is the only part that I was concerned with. I can edit, film, and report. I can do that, but I struggle coming up with an idea. The execution is flawless, but the idea might be flawed.  I do work alone by choice not by force. If I was forced, you wouldn’t hear the...
