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!

Timeline Process of My Final Project (Week By Week)

On January 12, 2022. In class, we started working on our final project. Which was to create a film opening (2 minutes) of any genre. My situation was different than those of my classmates.  The first thing we did in class, was decide on our group members.  January 12, 2022 I am working in a group of three, including myself. My two partners were unfortunately out because of Covid 19. Which only left me to work on the project. The first thing I made sure to do was, get their contacts from another friend. With that, I was able to start communicating with them. I made it an initiative to make them feel included, and kept them updated on what was going on in class. We messaged and came up with our genre. We all agreed on a mystery. We all enjoy solving problems and I have a very high curiosity for things.  After that, it was time to start working on our film ideas.  January 17,2022 We all pitched different ideas, but the one I picked ended up being the winner. We decided ...

How I decided on my group

 Welcome!  Today I will be breaking down my experience into choosing my group members to work on the Final Project. On January 17, 2022 we started picking our group members and solidifying our picks. I knew that going into this project, I didn't want a big group. I wanted to pick people that I knew I could count on. I also wanted to work with people that I knew would be open with me, complete the work in a timely order, and communicate with me.  Taking all of that into consideration, I decided on working with 1. Sara Alexander (Component #1) 2. Jennifer Blandon (Component #2) I believe that with the three of us, we will be able to rock this project! I think that we all work great together.  Although, it might be more work on our part because we are a smaller group. I think that we can handle it.   So yeah, that was basically my process of choosing. I wanted people who can keep each other on task and not get carried away with their friends.  When coming...

All about Mystery !

Welcome and get ready for an adventure!  Today we will be focusing on the concepts and what goes into mysteries. Let's talk about settings What are the settings or locations where mysteries are filmed? Well. Mysteries are normally filmed in all different time periods. Mysteries are also normally set in various locations. You might mostly see forests, cemeteries, homes, buildings. But these locations can keep going on and on.  Not to mention,  Sometimes the mystery may take place in a magical or unusual place. Most mysteries use realistic or familiar places to make the viewer feel more connected to the story. The more connected you feel to the film, the more REAL it feels to you. As for the timeframe, mysteries are normally filmed in the day. Well, it depends on the TYPE of mystery. For a mystery with murder, it might happen at night or in the evening. Maybe even in the morning? You never really know. There is no specific timeframe, it depends on the storyline of the film....
