Film Opening - Blog Post #17

What's the Plan?

        Hello everyone! After finally getting the filming done, my group is finally getting to the post-production stages. We're really excited for this step, since this is when our entire project will begin to come together! Like I mentioned in our last post, we have a good amount of work to do.

        First things first, we have to make sure that we all have the footage in one place - or at least that everyone has access to the footage we captured. Like I mentioned in the previous post, Logan has already uploaded the footage that we captured on his camera and SD card, which is the majority of the footage we need to edit. However, I also happen to have captured some footage on my camera and SD card that I need to share with the rest of the group (that way we all have access to all the footage one way or another). I was planning on only using my camera to capture b-roll for our CCRs, but while Logan was trying to figure something out on his camera, I ended up shooting some shots with Sabrina to save time. These shots include the shot through the dirty window and the shot from behind of Sabrina walking. After I write this blog post, I am going to send all of it to Sabrina and Logan through WeTransfer so that we're ready to edit as soon as possible. 



These are some of the clips that we captured on my camera. We took multiple shots of 
each, so we will find out which one of those takes we will use once we meet to edit!


We Meet Again

        On top of this, we have some other plans for this week. For instance, we are planning on meeting at Sabrina's house on Friday to line edit the footage, figure out audio and start on the volumetric lighting effect that we want to have for the opening. Though we are planning on collaborating on all of it, we decided that each person will each have their own specific responsibility (this unfortunately does not really include Kim, since she is temporarily out of town and cannot meet with us to edit). The responsibilities are divided as follows:

- Sabrina will import all the footage on her computer and line edit (checking up with the rest of us to make sure we agree on the placement and duration of each clip).
- Logan will look for royalty free music as well as brainstorm ideas to include in our film opening in terms of audio.
- I will begin working on the volumetric lighting effect on Adobe After Effects to see if it compliments our project (or even works with our footage at all).
- In the meantime, Kim will (remotely) look for fonts for the title graphic at the end, that way most aspects of the post-production process are in development at the same time.

        We decided to meet up as soon as spring break began due to the quarter ending this week. We all have a lot going on, so we thought postponing this and giving ourselves a short break would be not only less stressful, but also more efficient. I will make another post if there are any updates! Until next time!
