Production Blog: Editing Completed

 

 Today was a great day for the Golden Calf. Yes that's right, the Golden Calf film is now finally completed. It's been many weeks of designing, recording, editing, (and mostly blogging) but it is now ready to be viewed. I spent basically the entire day today working on making every transition clean and nice. I really wanted this opening sequence to both introduce the concept of the movie and to create interest in the topic. Doing both of these at the same time is no easy feat so It took a lot of time to make right. After lots of labor I do think that I managed to pull this off. Another major thing I accomplished was the edition of music. I scoured the internet looking for the most fitting music for my movie. I eventually stumbled upon a REALLY good royalty free music site which I'll have linked in the video description. I went for dramatic tunes to complement the tone of the movie. I used music fading and volume editing so that the music would match perfectly with all of the footage. With all of this combined I think I might have something special to show off tomorrow. I went for a mysterious dramatic atmosphere even utilizing things like black and white. I used lots of different strategies to progress the plot of the story. Since I didn't have many actors I had to tell the story mostly using visuals which entailed more editing. The only thing I have to do now is export the movie and upload it to YouTube. I'll have the entirety of tomorrow to do this however, so I'm doing great. I'm really looking forward to the official release of this film. Till Tomorrow!

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
