As we are unable to upload the Opening on the blog, I have uploaded it to my youtube channel. The following link should redirect you to the video. https://youtu.be/znM_8ngCtzg

Favourite Scene Out of all the scenes in the opening I must say my favourite was most when the blue book was shut. Reason behind this, is because of how sharp the footage was in these clips and how well I managed to stitch them together without having bumps and jumps. This took a fair amount of effort and tries, to get the timing/framing correct. If it was one frame too much or too little it would seem wrong and not fit well at all so editing like this take time and cannot be rushed through. Overtime it gets quicker as you would become more familiar with the program and editing would then become second nature too. The book shutting also signifies rage as the book is not shut with care, but in fact quite abrupt. Thus, portraying anger. We then learn that the student did not do so well in his ‘exam’. And so every minute detail can add so much clarity to a single scene. This scene was not scripted for AJ to slam the book yet AJ played it so much better, and so being part of the c...

Film review on SPITE (Editors Point of View) This movie was aimed towards children that don’t understand what drives some bullies to behave in the manner they do so. The opening scene in our movie was created particularly this way to illustrate the reasons of why some children behave the way they do. Upon completion of my first edits done by myself of the opening scene, I watched it again for evaluation and found some errors.  For example; brightness-some scenes were thought to be too bright, and so I darkened them and applied blue like filters to them.  This edit was made to ensure that particular scenes don’t get drowned out with light, thus adding the effect of cold\hurting. Having evaluated the movie, I felt AJ’s acting was somewhat good, however he needed to put more effort in his acting as a bully in order to come across as a harder bully.  However, his efforts were acceptable for someone that has never acted before, and due to limited time, it wa...

To make the film opening I had to take all the clip Nabil and videoed, and Issa directed. I stitch them together in 2 different programs. I went home and used a Desktop Compute to used Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 to stitch and cut together the correct scenes and chop away any unwanted scenes and sounds. There were many shots taken for each scene and I had to go through each one and evaluate them, best to worst. This was a long process as they were quite equal.  My desktop came in very handy as it was able to handle hardcore processing with ease. Reason behind this was having 16GB of RAM running at 3000Mhz and a GTX 1050Ti to run the images. So it managed to render the entire video in less than 30 seconds, partially because the file was only going to be around a 90 seconds. Once each of the best scenes were selected and stitched together I went through colour grading them and making them fit the theme. This was so they wouldn’t look to bright. Using custom LUT's to do this ...
