editing is hard work

 Today was our first day of editing! We sent whatever clips we had on each of our devices to our editing device. After the clips were transferred onto the editing platform, Siena and I put them into chronological order. Then we began with the basics and cut out a bunch of unnecessary video.  Things such as dead air or bloopers were cut. After this first set of editing, the total time length was still too long. We had filmed so much that we still had about 2 minutes of film left over. At this point we decided to breakdown the editing process by scene. This was we could focus more on the quality of each scene. Starting with the first one, we slowly went through and cut out small bits and pieces. My groupmates and I threw around suggestions such as slowing or speeding something up. We went on like this until we collectively were happy with the result. We then moved onto the beach scenes. Many of the first few clips we had filmed were not video worthy. We cut out a lot of walking and such as we had to shorten it. Parker did a lot of the editing work itself as I did not know how to use the program well. But I still gave many suggestions and helped throughout the whole process. This whole day was very long and tedious. But we were able to get about half of the video done! I am excited to finish up and see the end result.

  While we viewed the title sequence for “Random Acts of Violence” we  found it had in total around twenty five titles. It had titles for the name of the film, the producer, the writer, the music, the studio company, the costume designer, the illustrator, and the director etc. The titles were white block letter style and had a heavy graphic overlay, a dark black background with bright primary colors flashing.  Throughout the opening sequence there were images of skulls and people laying on the ground that had an essence of death and violence. There were also images of creepy extreme close-up smiles. It made us feel negatively overstimulated giving us a sense of foreboding. We could feel something dreadfully unexpected will take place throughout the film. Also there was a section of extreme close-ups on different peoples faces specifically focusing on their eyes. This section had quick paced editing.  The films editing, color palette, audio, and lighting reinforce the...

There are also multiple images of unknown machines operating and even clips taken from the news included. These images are in a way foreshadowing the mysterious and supernatural. They let viewers know that the ...
