Halfway there!


As my group was filming, we were also editing all at the same time. We would cut some of the clips to also be able to match the music perfectly. This helped us know in the moment exactly what we needed to keep recording to put in the video. One of the main reasons we took so long to film was because of the multi-tasking we did. Our official editing is still being worked on. Cuts still need to be made to be under the time limit for our video. This whole time I thought the video was supposed to be 1 minute and 30 seconds, but I just found out it is supposed to be 1 minute and 15 seconds. Because of this, some extra editing needs to be done in order to make things perfect. Michaela has helped a lot in this case since she was unable to make it on filming day. She has been working extremely diligently with the rest of us to figure things out and how we can make each clip better. Lola worked on transitions and then put the clips in order. This is a big part because if the clips are not organized in the correct order, then it ruins the whole video. Sabrina and I worked on the music syncing after Lola and Michaela did what they were supposed to do. It is hard to work on this outside of school because when editing, we need to be able to share our ideas all at the same time. With that being said, every class period we have had, we use it wisely to get this done as soon as possible. It is vastly necessary for this to turn out well, not only to get a good grade for the class, but also from Cambridge. I actively notice my group and I continuously make sure we are following all required guidelines. This is due to the fact that we want to do better than our last project for ourselves as well so that we can see improvement. If we see improvement from this, it will bring us more confidence for the upcoming project as well. It has been quite difficult to be able to be on track with everything just because it is the holiday season. Around this time it is usually always a struggle to keep up amazingly with schoolwork since everyone becomes ecstatic for break.

1. How do your  products  represent social groups or issues? Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the protagonist's suffering, the film seeks to provoke thought and increase awareness of the pressing need for societal reform to address these challenges. The film's website and postcard offer further channels for interaction by informing viewers about the fi...

Officially done…With filming

  I'm happy to inform that my group and I have finally finished filming our final video project, and the results are nothing short of stunning after weeks of hard work and commitment. This trip, while had its share of difficulties and learning curves, ended with a victory that well above our expectations.This time around, unlike the first time we filmed, everything appeared to go together perfectly. Equipped with a well-defined vision and an astute sense of direction, we skillfully and confidently maneuvered through the filming process. Simplifying our method of filming was one of the biggest changes we made. We had a well thought-out plan in place, so we knew exactly what kind of material and photos we would need to make our story come to life. With so much less time spent filming because to this newfound clarity, we were able to concentrate on capturing true and emotionally charged moments. Even though we were filming at the same park as before, we took a "less is more"...

Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat. * Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images. * Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments. d.
