Peer Review and Touch Ups

 Peer Review and Touch-Ups

Yesterday I did a peer review. This was something I had been really eager to do because I wanted to ensure that my visions as the director were portrayed correctly. I asked my sister, parents, a friend to all view the opening sequence. I wanted them to see if they understood it and if it seemed like a horror film without them knowing my vision. Before doing that, however, I had asked my teacher a question about logos in the film. While editing I realized I had close-ups on many logos. Not to promote them but this was just the way I wanted the shot to go. During class, I asked my teachers if I had to blur out or take out the logos. They said it was ok which was a huge relief. This was because so many of my shots included logo and I would have done many more hours of editing filming. After I finished up all of my editing I gave the 2-minute opening sequence for my peer and family to see. The feedback I got back was well. Overall everyone said that they cot the mood and vision I had and that the only thing I should work on was the voiceovers, and background noise. I re-layered the sounds and voiceovers I made and thought I was about done. I continued to re-watch my opening sequence and realized that I should re-film a small scene. Since I had extra time and was generally done with everything I wanted to re-film the death scene. In the death scene, the person dies and falls in the pool but I would like to re-shoot the part of the dead body just in the film because I thought it could be more dramatic and from a different angle. I plan to re-film in the next day and just continue to make micro changes to my film to make it the best I can. I've said it before but overall I am really happy with the way everything has come out so far. I am also very thankful for all of the planning I did because it really helped me troubleshoot issues and plan for some that may come up. After re-shooting I will edit that in and will be done with my opening sequence to the horror film I came up with.

All About Me

  All About Me     Hi, my name is Vanessa Gilbert and I am a sophomore this year at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I live at home with my mom and dad, and I have a sister who lives in college. I love all animals, and in addition to my family members, I have a dog names biscuit and two cats named rainbow and teddy who live at the house and are basically family. My favorite class in school is usually science but this year I am excited for a couple of my classes too. I especially am excited for AICE Media because I have always been really interested in movie making and how the idea of a movie comes together. Besides going to school most of my time is taken up by softball which is something I have played and loved since I was 4 years old. I play travel softball for a team in plantation and I played for the high school team last year too as a catcher. Softball takes up almost all of my time after school with practices and going to tournaments on the weekends but I still have a gr...

Comparing 9, The Short, and 9, The Full Length Movie

Comparing 9, The Short ,and 9, The Full Length Movie Short Film  Today I watched the short film 9. This is a seven-minute-long animated short film. I really enjoyed watching this short film. The characters were really unique. I honestly liked the rag doll's appearance of some and the robotic appearance of others. The setting was also very unique and cool. It had a post-apocalyptic feel and somewhat reminded me of Wall-e. The sound is what really made an impact on me most though. There was no dialogue in the short film. The only sound really heard is diegetic and score. The lack of sound helped set the mood of the short film a lot. It made moments feel more scary and suspenseful. The sound of the robotic spider characters made me feel as if I was inside the film. The plot was interesting too. The main character is a rag doll-like with a 9 on its back. 9 seems to have had a mentor or a friend in the past. 9's friend has the same appearance but with a 5 instead of on its back. The...
