Editing 2

 




The title our group agreed on is “The Significance.” We chose this because it reflects how one moment sets off the next, showing a clear chain of cause and effect. We used only one font, Futura Bold, and kept it large to highlight the central idea of the film opener. A few visual effects were added, including the music, the fading of audio, and the smooth shifts between scenes, which all helped create a steady sense of sadness throughout the piece. The transitions mainly came from switching between different camera angles filmed in the same location.

For the audio, we recorded on a separate device instead of relying on the camera. Using voice memos made the sound clearer and easier to understand. Filming came with several challenges, such as people being absent, someone dealing with injuries, and others needing to leave early. Even with these setbacks, everyone contributed and stayed committed to finishing the project.

Editing has taken around three hours so far, and with the remaining adjustments, it will likely reach about five hours in total. Isabel handled the editing on her own since she already knows how to work with the software and could move through it easily. The last scene we still need to capture is the hallway moment. It has been a little difficult to schedule, but it will be completed before the deadline. Overall, this project has taught us a lot and has helped us build determination and confidence as we continue working.

Camera Movements

In this blog, I will be exploring different camera movements, showing how each one can change the way we see a scene. I’ll explain what each shot does, how it affects the audience, and why it’s used in filming Tilt: The shot begins at the student’s feet and tilts upward, capturing her hands as she struggles to choose a book. By leaving her face out of frame, the tilt emphasizes her hesitation through gesture and movement rather than expression. Depending on the pace, the shot can serve different purposes. At normal speed, it presents an ordinary moment, while in slow motion, it builds suspense and highlights the difficulty of her choice. Steadicam: This Steadicam shot captures two friends studying in the library. As they continue their work while talking with others around them, the shot creates a natural and realistic atmosphere. Its purpose is to give the audience a glimpse of everyday student life, showing the characters in a familiar and authentic setting. Dolly shot:  This d...

Preliminary Exercise

 Two friends mourning together in silence                                              This photo shows two friends sitting close together, sharing a quiet moment of grief. Even without words, you can feel the support between them through their body language and how they lean toward each other. The black‑and‑white filter adds to the mood, making the scene feel heavier and more focused on their emotions instead of the background. The eye‑level angle keeps everything honest and simple, almost like you’re witnessing the moment in real time. How this could've been improved?  A softer light source could’ve made the emotion stand out even more Commentary on decisions I made during shooting: I moved in close, so their hands and faces were the main focus, since that’s where the emotion really shows. I kept the framing simple and didn’t try to over stage anything. The bla...
