Editing the music video

It is time for another blog. Today I will talk about my experience editing the blog. Last time we edited a blog a groupmate did it this time I am going to edit it. Recently I have been practicing my editing and think I did well. I was thinking to edit with iMovie on my phone but decided to change to adobe. Using adobe, I can easily use it on my computer and will not show a watermark. I started editing the day after filming to finish before the deadline. I managed to finish in one day after getting sent all the footage. We had tons of footage to use and even didn't use some. I did have some trouble editing.

The main thing I was working on was the transit...

Genre Research - Action

Image
   The common camera angles in action:  Long shot: Artificially shortens the distance between two characters, tricking the viewer into thinking that the characters actually punch each other but the angle just makes it look like that. Wide shot: Used to establish the main characters in the movie but not the area surrounding them.  Low angle: Used to show how intimidating the villain is and how they are above all.  High angle: Used to show when the main hero is in a tough situation and losing, usually fights or big battles.  Establishing shot: Used to show the main area where the heroes/hero battles it out.  Common Costumes, Props, Setting, and Make-up:  Costume: The costumes in action films are what truly establish the character, some people don't even know the characters face but as soon as they see the suit/costume they immediately recognize them.  Props: Props are important in action films, whether it range from Thor's Hammer to Batman's Ba...
