Film (Final Cut)

The changes that Jairo and I added were that, based off of complaints, zoomed into the main character at the end of the film. This way the extra that moved when time had apparently stopped was now out of the picture. The only other complaints we had were that people could not think of what would happen next, or that they did not understand what genre this was. The genre of our film was action comedy, and since it was the beginning of the film we felt like we did not have to add anything that tells the audience what happens in the whole movie. We also felt it would look unusual if we wrote what type of genre it was in the title, and felt that the viewers could figure it out themselves.

Editing! Week 2

This week we continued to edit, but stumbled onto some issues. We struggled to coordinate the ticking of the clock with the actual film of the clock. To fix this we add to cut out certain portions of the film, so that the sound lined up. Also we had to cut out some of the ending to the film because one of our extras was moving during the scene where time had stopped. Jairo and I also learned how to make sound gradually grow and decrease, which we used for the climax moment of when the clock's  ticking, and time comes to a complete halt. 

Editing! Week 1

For the titles we used we decided to name our film Dr. TickTock, after the protagonist, which we may change because that is not a very good name. We also decided to name are film studio Owen Whiting Productions, a person who is featured in the film, and we gave ourselves credit as being the producers of the movie. For the font, we went with a black and bold concept to stand out from the background. Some video effects include the ticking of the clock, and using a still frame to make it look as though the movie as stopped. The cuts we made were simple, and flowed nicely, making it go from shot to shot. Both Jairo and I were involved in the editing, and some problems we faced was that we didn't know how to make the film fill up the whole frame, but we learned how to fix that by asking our teacher. We have decided to not do any further filming, since we are already at the time limit. 

Filming! Week 2

This week we began editing our film. The editing consisted of the voice over that we are planning to do for the main character, which is why the film is relatively silent in its current form. At first the voice over was difficult to do because I could not come up with what to say, but then I took a statistics exam recently and found that my thoughts during that test coordinated well with how our character would think in the film (confused, and frustrated). Jairo and I also began adding the ticking sound from the clock to the film, and we cut out certain scenes that did not fit with what we were trying to say with the film.

Filming! Week 1

Before we actually filmed Jairo and I decided to practice what were going to do when we arrived the following day to Dr. Strathman's classroom. We wanted to be professional and not waste any of Strathman's time. Here we had me practice pretending to look at other student's papers, and act frustrated with the test material.

Here we are reviewing are takes from the previous hour. Jairo and I both agree that for our first shots we have done very well, and soon hope to add the inner monologue and the ticking of the clock in the  upcoming days.
