Editor Reviews (Video Editor)

 Today in class we had to research and evaluate three video editors. In which the video editor that we decide on, we then have to make sure that it meets the minimum requirements.

Minimum Requirements:

-accessible from anywhere (web-based)                                                                                       

- ability to lay multiple tracks (both audio and video)

- ability to strip or mute audio and natural sounds from video 

- ability to collaborate with other users 

Research and Evaluation:

Throughout my research, I noticed that it was difficult to find a video editor that was free. Even though I typed in free video editors, almost every single one I picked on would ask you if you would like to start a free trial. Which at the end, you will have to end up paying.

Having something free and that also met my requirements, at first didn't seem like it would work out. Until I found Openshot and Clipchamp.


After my research and evaluation, I came down to the conclusion that Clipchamp would be the best option for me.



Out of the three video editors, Openshot was a close first as well. It was very hard to choose between the two. I also did some research and evaluation on Doratoon. It had some features but defiantly did not meet the mark. I felt like Openshot also had a lot to offer and met all the minimum requirements but did not have as much other features that Clipchamp offered. Which led me to my decision to move foward with Clipchamp. 

Might I add, it was also very hard to find a video editor that has the ability to collaborate with other users. I think that was the hardest part in finding a video editor that would meet the requirements. 

Something that set apart Clipchamp from other video editors, is that you are able to create "picture in picture" effects. Which I think is pretty cool. Another thing that I thought was pretty cool is that Clipchamp allows you to create your own brand kit. You can create a kit for your team and that way no one will forget what the logo, etc. You can also flip and mirror videos, which is very crucial, if your video was on your phone and you wanted to upload it, so it fits horizontally instead of vertically. I really liked that Clipchamp offered what was expected and even more. 

I feel like that Clipchamp offers a lot of styles, and sound options. Because I believe when you edit a video, the style of it and the music means the most. I feel like it sets the tone of the video.

Clipchamp for the win!

Stage 3 of Final Project/ Storyboarding

 This is the third step to the completion of my portfolio. This will mostly focus on the preproduction of our opening scene. This will include the location, storyboarding, casting actors, writing a shooting schedule, and planning the look and feel of the opening scene. Let's start off with the location! Our group has decided the locations where our opening scene will be shot. Some of the shots will be shot outside while some will be inside. We plan on using the locations in our school to shoot. Although, some shots may need to be filmed outside of school. We plan on shooting our first scene outside, using the school parking lot next to a police car. All other shots and scenes will be filmed inside. Whether that is inside the school or not. We have also decided to use buildings and streets to be our establishing shot.                                              Actors?...

Case Study of a Mystery Film

                                              Case Study "Shutter Island- By Dennis Lehane" Today, I will be completing a case study on a film of my choice.  I will be talking about the film from its inception all the way to the exhibition. Let's start off! Let's pick a film. I will be picking a film that follows my genre.  I am going to be doing a case study on a mystery film. The film is titled "Shutter Island". I chose this film not only because it is a mystery but also because it involves a lot of the concepts and ideas that we plan on doing in our film.  Let's do a little summary of the film first. This film is rated R and it focuses on a U.S. Marshal in 1954 that investigates the disappearance of a murderer that escaped from an "insane hospital". History/ Target Audience: This film is based on a book, with the same name. This film also stars "Leonardo D...

Stage 1 of my final project

This is the first step towards the completion of my portfolio.  To start off, the kind of movie that I'm interested in creating would be an mystery movie. The basic genre convention of my movie would be dark, suspenseful and murder. It's a genre of film that revolves around the solution of the problem or a crime. Other opening sequences of my genre include background knowledge, showing the setting, the characters and what happened all the way up until current. An opening sequence reveals meaning and tone without giving too much away by giving little pieces of what's to come throughout the story, which makes the viewer interested in the storyline. Depending on the genre, not too much action goes on in the opening scene. There might be some action, showing what happened before, leading up until the start of the movie. The settings or locations of other films in my genre are, but are not limited to, forests, homes, buildings, theme parks, etc.. Almost any place that you can go...
