Blog Post #44 Editing Stage: One

 Today I will be talking about the first stage in my editing process, which is to add the filmed clips.




This is important because it is the beginning stages to creating a film with finding the best and most accessible clips to use. Now most of the time in film multiple takes are used in order to film one shot, so being able to distinguish the usable shot is important in this editing phase. There are mainly three stages in editing with this one being the one that starts them all. This stage allows for the clips to flow chronologically based on the order the you (the director/editor) put the clips and how they will fit in the film. This can also change the flow of the film with longer clips being in places where they might be out of place like in between quick cuts. But they could be in the right place like scenery shots that can help convey the setting better through the longer clips. 



So in my film as you can see, the way that I clicked on the clips was the order that they were subject to. This makes it easy for me to assign certain clips to certain pots in the scene, in order to keep the chronological order in flow and also to convey the scenery shots first to help show the audience the setting before going into the plot sequence of the scene. My film also uses very long clips so in order to still keep the audience engaged I subjected the film to various short clips in order to convey the sequences in a faster amount of time, keeping the audience engaged in the story. Finally, it allows for me to enter my next editing stage which helps me determine the lengths in my clips and also the transitions in between multiple, in order to keep the film smooth.

Blog Post #9 Social Media

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
