Movie Convention: Us

 Us was a very strange movie full of jump scares and confusing backstories on what it is. Us is about a little family that moves into their new home starting a new life away from their old one. But strange things start to happen and a bunch of people in red suits break into their house with scissors in their hands. Soon  they find out they are not the only ones this is happening to in fact every person in the world has people in red suits after them. It is then found out that these people are doppelgangers of the real ones and are chasing after them. I like how intense and fast this movie is with a good plot and good acting to go with it. There is a lot of character development in this movie. The ending is what throws me off because it has nothing to do with the story line and its for a rather idiotic reason why this is happening.

 When I finish recording I started editing little by little. I synced the music to the actions in the advertisement. I made clipped the scenes to make it look better. I made the audio better. I zoomed in on the actor more. I asked people to help me on the recording. I cut the failed clips out but kept the really good \ones. I used a lot of fade outs to make the scenes go by faster. I did the job well. I helpd o more sounds by adding in some special effects. I made sure to get the determination when I jumped from 2 stairs to the bottom. I worked on the lighting because of the glare. Some shadows had to be taken out. I used the music to hype up the advertisement. I added logos. I emphasized on the logos. I added more sound effects. I used the backpack zipping as a sound effect. I showed how durable it was. I showed off the different colors.

 I started out today at 12:00 Pm on a Sunday morning and brought my friends with me to help record the scene. It was nice and sunny outside and the beached was pretty crowded. The phones started to overheat because of the temperature but I was able to cool it down by putting it in the shad for 5 mins. After we started by taking a walking shot from the far back of the beach and slowly walking with 10 second clips fading in and coming back until we reached the water. It was a little hard to keep the camera steady while walking in the water so it took multiple tries to get it perfect. Then I had to dip my phone in the water for a second and which was really hard because either it was dipped in too fast or i stopped recording before I put it in the water. It took about 15 minutes for me to get the shot right. But I finally got a clean shot that looked pretty nice. After that I started to run into problems; first the go pro wasn't turning on and that was a big problem because we needed ...

Production Blog: Editing

Me and my friends were going to film today but the weather wasn't nice. It started to rain hard and it wasn't stopping so I chose to go back to my place with my friends. I started to watch shots at the beach and what angles looked the best. And I made a plan to what I were going to do the next day. So I planned that we'll get to the beach around 12:00 when the sun is out and make sure there were have proper lighting so I can see. I'm probably going to dub the audio because of the background noise and it was said to be windy the next day. After I was going to prepare the go pro for the underwater shots. Then I'm going to see if the footage was the best it can be otherwise we'll reshoot the bad parts.
